Jeremy Clarkson's "The World According To Clarkson" is one of Penguin's "best books of its kind to be published in recent years"

burn him and burn all his fans, anyway

lol, not sure i would go that far but

am willing to pour scorn on him and we can rub our ire together to try and get a spark

Any other job he'd be sacked instantly <-------- sort of thing his hideous fans are wont to say about politicians et al committing indiscretions.

yeah actually i don't want him burned, at least not to death, i want him to be humiliated and penniless and crawling in the gutter and to KNOW it

TV producers are not really "high in the BBC hierarchy", they are relatively expendable, certainly compared to the "talent". I have a friend who worked with Clarkson for a while and said he's an absolute fucking nightmare to work with, entirely controlling, treats producers like shit, etc.

We don't know it's a white man as well but the law of averages would suggest it probably is.

Wasn't he suspended for racism before he non-apologised?

The producer has been named. He looks a bit like a cross between Limmy and a young Jah Wobble.

You're going to need to be more specific as that description covers a lot of white men.

Can they not just keep the internationally celebrated cars & racism hour going just with the other two shit racist car dudes

Can they not just cancel Top Gear?

Isn't there a diminishing return on these kind of 'bros do stupid shit' show anyway? Especially since YouTube/Vimeo/etc.? This morning I watched a video of someone overclocking a toaster, and that was way more interesting to me than anything TG have done in the last ten years.

Bring back William Woollard. Sure, he's in his 70s now, but, as a clean-living Buddhist, I'm sure he's fit enough to tell you why the electrics on a Corsa are a bit iffy.

(If indeed they are, Vauxhall Legal Team.)

what the heck is overclocking?

watched this but I'm still not any the wiser tbh

Forcing chips and CPUs to run at faster than their designed speed (with consequent power consumption and heat generation issues). God knows what this involves with a toaster. Burning a bagel in 30sec?

xp

agree it's more interesting than top gear though xp

As long as there are cars that require unsustainable fuel to run, there'll be a Clarkson. So ban cars, frankly.

that toaster was behaving in an almost sentient way. haunting

Actually I was watching this one.

Calling what Clarkson did a 'Fracas' must be like salt in the wound for him, given that it's a French term.

haha

what a palaver!

Who's Limmy, btw?

"What's overclocking?" "Who's Limmy?" Where are we, NoGoogle Island?

WINKY SMILEY FACE

What's a Tuomas?

Yet no-one blinks an eye at William Woollard being referenced.

Mark G, you need Limmy in your life.

He's almost as good as ILM's Bobby Gillespie skits

I remembers William Woolard, just like it was yesterday, but it wasn't it was Tomorrow's....

OK, I googled him, was just wondering if it was a typo for Lemmy.

I'd have been impressed if JClarkson had attempted to biff a Lemmy lookalike.

i'd pay a lot of money to see a clarkson/lemmy rage in a cage match

354,170 signers.

At this rate, they'll be forming the next coalition.

my 8 yr old loves top gear so much, but even he confided to me the other day that he thought clarkson was 'a peanut'

@Maria_MillerMP
BBC has clear obligation to staff and obligation to licence fee payer-need to better manage relationships with stars like Clarkson

are you fucking kidding?

Maria Frances Lewis Miller (born 26 March 1964) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Basingstoke since ooh ...

I read 'need to better manage relationships with stars like Clarkson' as 'don't let them get away with all kinds of shit just because they're popular and profitable' but I guess it could be taken the opposite way

LOL Tories

so the reason for this dust-up was that jfc's dinner wasn't ready at the end of a shoot?

I wonder what Clarkson would have to do to lose the support of the Top Gear fan base.

be reasonable.

heartfelt commitment to environmental agenda, adopt enthusiastic homosexual relations with ever-changing group of dreadlocked eco-warriors

Have sex with Nigel Farage

Although I wish Clarkson nothing but humiliation and would not miss the tv show, I hope that Top Gear magazine, which is not the nasty racist cartoon JC is but which contains some of the best English-language writing on cars, would be able to survive, perhaps under a different name.

def think he'll end up in a more obnoxious role if the bbc lets him go

yeah actually i don't want him burned, at least not to death, i want him to be humiliated and penniless and crawling in the gutter and to KNOW it
