Clarkson cleared over striking worker jibe

Jeremy Clarkson has been cleared by media watchdog Ofcom following his remarks on the BBC’s The One Show that striking public sector workers should be shot in front of their families.
Clarkson to be investigated by Ofcom
The comments on the BBC One show led to almost 32,000 complaints – but despite this, Ofcom has cleared Clarkson.
Should Clarkson have been cleared?
The regulator said viewers should be familiar with Clarkson’s “provocative and outspoken nature”, which was also referred to in the programme’s introduction.
“Consequently, the editorial nature of the programme as a whole would have prepared viewers for the type of comments Jeremy Clarkson would be likely to make,” said Ofcom.
Clarkson’s tongue in cheek comments were aired on 30 November, as public sector workers embarked on a one-day strike over changes to pension schemes.
Ofcom director Christopher Woolard explained its decision to clear Clarkson of breaking broadcasting regulations in a letter to Unison, which lodged a complaint with Ofcom.
The regulator said it was “clear to most viewers that his comments were not an expression of seriously held beliefs or views that should be literally interpreted”.
Clarkson’s apology after the event was also taken into account: Unison accepted this and, it has emerged, also invited Clarkson to spend a day with a healthcare assistant.

Grow up and get a life those who choose to whine or use your finger to change channels if you don't like what you're watching.
Jeremy's a tongue in cheek presenter, comedian, looloping oaff, and a guy who like's to act to fool and doesn't mind others laughing at him. The UK would be a lot more fun if there was more people about like him who's got the balls to say what he wants, without any malace meant. Unlike those narrow minded fools who take life, and TV far too seriously and mean what they say about him.
We have free speech in the UK, he has a right to use it, same as you all have a right to turn over if you don't like it...... so on that bombshell...goodnight haha
Once again a miss-represented media storm over a part quote taken out of context. The morons who complain without seeing the programme or taking Mr Clarkson's whole unedited statement from start to finish into consideration deserve the cheap rubbish journalism that this country produces. 4 million Sun readers cannot be wrong, the paper said it so it must be true etc.
Yes - I know - I'd get burned bits!!! But I'd also be extradited to the USA etc

Go get em Andy Wylie owd lad,
That's the BEST speech i've read in a bloody LONG time.
Thank god common sense triumphed over stupidity; in todays world that is a rare occurance indeed :) . Some people in this world are too busy whining about silly things such as this instead of dealing with actual problems; real shame too if they put the same effort into resolving the *real-problems* in the world; it would be a much happier place.
