Jeremy Clarkson just can't stop himself can he? The Top Gear presenter recently took to Twitter again to complain about noisy children on a British Airways flight.
"When will British Airways realise that babies belong in the hold?" was the inflammatory result and surprise, surprise, it sparked an outraged response in some quarters.
Justine Roberts, of website Mumsnet, was quoted by the Mail on Sunday as saying: "There are plenty of Mumsnet users hoping British Airways will realise Jeremy Clarkson belongs in the hold."
Clarkson responded with this: "I have sparked FURY at the Mail for saying that babies should travel in a plane's hold. Mine didn't fly until they were old enough to behave."

Aww diddums! that naughty Jeremy Clarkson has been politically incorrect and has offended a few people! This weak skinned and pathetic minority have no sense of humour and don't want anyone else to have one either, god forbid! people might start thinking for themselves.
The political correctness brigade do not tolerate freedom of speech or expression,they want everyone to be as dull, grey and meaningless as they are. A small number of people being offended is a small price to pay for the freedom of speech we have fought wars for. Do not give in to political correctness.

One of my favourite Jezza quotes is from the US Special. ""In some parts of America they've actually started mating with vegetables" When I went to the US for this time last year, New York to be precise, that quote came to mind with the people I encountered the moment I got off the plane!
I think Jeremy is a classic example of a person saying what we all think but are just too scared to say. If he stops being so outspoken and honest then we may as well abolish free speech in this country and become a communist state!

Can't anyone take a joke these days? I can see where Clarkson is coming from and he makes me laugh. If you don't like him, don't watch. Top Gear isn't forced upon you, and neither is anything Jeremy Clarkson does. I think there is much greater problems in this world that we should be worrying about! Rather than getting worked up on something Jeremy Clarkson said last year. You say 'get rid of him' but like me and millions of people I look forward to watching Top Gear. Maybe you could switch over from BBC Two when it comes on? Then you have got rid of him off your TV.

People need to lighten up for goodness sake. He says all these things for a joke, you would have thought that most people would have got it by now.
What exactly does he need to apologise for? There are comedians out there making jokes about much more 'risky' subjects, and are saying much more offensive things. Are they being made to apologise? did the people complaining have a little giggle at first, probably.
ITS A JOKE, if you don't find it funny. TOUGH, other people do!

I'm not a particularly huge fan of Clarkson - I think he's controversial for the sake of it sometimes. That said, it's the absolute most horrible feeling in the world to lose a pet, especially a dog, and it's classless and twattish for trolls on Twitter to abuse him over it. Damnit, Twitter sucks. Hate Twitter.

I personally agree with Clarkson most of us have to work for a living and get very little in the way of pensions, maybe saying they should be shot is going a bit to far though. But these knobs calling for him to be sacked, get a life it was tongue in cheek! we are all in-titled to our own opinion its a free country! why did we fight 2 world wars if we aren't allowed freedom of speech?

Looking at the car I'd say he's right! If people don't like Clarksons comments they can always turn over or turn off. These weak, pathetic thin skinned, thick headed people should grow up, get over it and get on with it. To hell with political correctness and long live individualism and freedom of speech.

Instead of complaining about his sence of humour, why not just choose not to watch ? Do you all have different channels or are just that sad and detached from reality that you feel compelled to sit and watch a man you can stand, just so you can launch another pointless trivial complaint ? I bet you are the same sort of people that take pride in complaining about other members of your community. Straight on the phone to the council when your neighbour doesnt put his bins in the right place. Go and crawl back under your stones........
