FFS. People just need to chill out. I don't get the whole Brand & Ross thing either.
Neither do I! But a big steaming can of worms has been opened and it can't be closed. I assume all those who said Brand and Ross should be fired due to complaints will say the same about Clarkson...Angry mob part II
Ridiculous.
Clarkson is deliberately inflammatory - that's his style.
I do wish these hand wringers would f
k off and find something useful to do with their lives rather than complaining all the time.
PS - where can I go to complain about people complaining?

If clakson phoned up the grandparents of somebody murdered by a trucker and left a message on their phones then yes.
This was obviously a joke the BBC will tell them to FO and quite rightly so.
The union have just made fools of themselves.

Jaysus it really has started now, what have we done?
I've never really understood why the BBC bother having a complaints system, surely the best way of complaining would be to just never watch the programme again?
Indeed. I'd be curious to know how many of these people have complained in the past? I am sure that there are sad losers in this country who specifically sit down to watch Top Gear in the hope that Clarkson will say something that they can complain about.I've never really understood why the BBC bother having a complaints system, surely the best way of complaining would be to just never watch the programme again?
People like that are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things that the only thing they can do to to make themselves feel "powerful" is whine and complain about little things.
Clarkson has also said that Americans have begun to mate with vegetables. Did anyone complain then? Probably 3 people, none of whom knew an American or had been anywhere near the USA.
FFS there are bigger problems in this world than Clarkson making dead hooker jokes!

A spokeswoman for the English Collective of Prostitute said: "This is a truly heartless comment. In the wake of the murders of five young women in Ipswich and the killing of over 60 prostitute women in the last 10 years, how did this remark come to be broadcast? Mr Clarkson should apologise immediately to prostitute women and our families
I don't get this, prostitution (street soliciting, brothel keeping and kerb crawling) is illegal in Britain so how can there be a spokeperson from a "Collective" that has any authority or voice?Therse people must have low 'offence' thresholds, that is all I can say.
I suspect they are the people offended by people who stir their tea in an anti-clockwise fashion, wear brown shoes with blue suits and black people on the street.
In fact their offence ofends me, now where is my quill, I must send a telegram of complaint.
