In any case, they're not his real opinions.

The Clarkson on screen (and espcially the Clarkson in
his NewsInt columns) is a "persona", that happens to have
the same name as the person playing it.

Yes. He used to live in Battersea in the same street as a friend. Who said
if anything he was positively shy, and very polite.

Bit like the Pub Landlord (where the person
has a different name from the person playing it)
and Johny Vegas (where it doesn't)

He complained that the trains stopped.

Actually, he was pointing out that the selfish actions of a single
person causes delays and inconvenience to thousands of people, not to
mention the poor buggers that have to clear up the mess and the effect
on the train driver.

I'm sure the headlines tell everything worth knowing about this silly
story, so I haven't bothered to read any of the rest. My reaction,
probably the same as that of most sensible people was "Oh not him
again" and "What's he said this time", before ignoring it and getting
on with the rest of my life.

Anybody who feels Deeply Shocked And Offended at Mr Clarksons most
recent demonstration of tosserdom should simply go to YouTube and
search for "Jeremy Clarkson in a Microwave". It won't change a thing,
but it'll make you feel a lot better.

Rod.

He has a new DVD to sell.

Shows like that can "discuss" as many social/topical issues as they
like, but they're just vehicles for celebs to sell stuff.

How many interviewees on popular chat shows have nothing to sell?

I'll bet the answer is somewhere around zero.

No you won't they've censored it. Clarkson has long been the token right
wing voice on the BBC, but they gag him when it suits them. So much for
free speech.

You've a very strange idea of 'right wing'. Those who consider anyone
should be shot without trial are nutters with no brain cells - not just a
variation on normal opinion.

Clarkson's comments on screen and in print are more akin to the yobs in a

"Clarkson's 'execute strikers' joke was agreed with BBC producers in
advance".

Yup, however I do cynically wonder if actual calls on those helplines
are analysed for future soap story lines...


Or the only need for the help line is because the programme is so
depressing

I read it the first and second times.

And hopefully not forgotten it by now.

Repetition aids the memory.

I have no idea, as I don't have HD reception.

See, now you know what you are missing out on --
wrinkles and blemishes on actors and presenters
when the makeup departments is unable to perform
miracles

Still no satellite dish then?

Ye have to be careful broadcasting to the lowest common
denominator demographic.

A simple announcement announcement solves the problem --

"The following program contains material unsuitable
for those less than 16 years old and those who are
intellectually challenged."

Along with a logo showing a brain in a red warning triangle.

Of course the simple solution is to keep the intellectual
stuff on BBC-2 like it used to be and keep BBC-1 for
meaningless entertainment programs featuring Bruce Forsyth,
Paul Daniels, Tom O'Connor etc.

It's sad that those who commit suicide have no thought for others.

This is due to the circular connundrum that many of those who commit
suicide tend to commit suicide because they think that others have no
thoughts for them.

Explain the very old skit on 'Not the Nine O'clock News' where a lorry
driver slaps incrementing stickers on the side of his truck door for
every hedgehog he ran over? Funny, but the animal rights mob offended?

But that was making fun of the fact that some truck drivers have no
concern for others on the road.

Yup, however I do cynically wonder if actual calls on those helplines
are analysed for future soap story lines...

Why do you think they have the helplines in the first place?

Very well! Personally, I agreed with him, but that's just my view.

He was obviously joking and I think those who have been jumping up and
down and complaining need to get a sense of humour.

The issue was the first question raised on Question Time last night,
see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b017zqmd/Question_Time_01_12_2011/.

Deborah Meaden said maybe we should take him out and shoot him. Oddly,
I don't recall anyone complaining about what she said.
