Jeremy Clarkson Issues An Apology

Post: # 1134Post Ross »

Jeremy Clarkson Issues An Apology

Clarkson formally apologises to the Irish Top Gear producer after a bust up in March 2015.
The Irishman received a bloody lip after the confrontation.
Clarkson also called him a lazy Irish cu**.
This was because Mr Clarkson was not allowed to order a steak after filming.

It is believed that a settlement of over £100,000 was an out of court deal.
Clarkson famously lost his job over the incident.

I don't buy this racist thing.
Apparently, Clarkson had been accused of being racist for saying Irish c***.
Come off it, it can be proved that the British and Irish are one and the same race so how on earth can this happen?
Honestly, this political correctness lark has to be kicked into touch.
What would happen if you called someone a Cockney c*** or a Brummie c***?

I accept there would need to be some redress for the punch in the face because that is not on but nothing else.

Top Gear was one of the best motoring programmes on the television and that incident killed it off :thumbdown:

If Clarkson punched someone then he should pay.
The Irishman claiming racism is in the wrong though :naughty:

Clarkson is the main man.
Top Gear on the BBC will never be the same.

I am watching an episode of Top Gear now with Jeremy Clarkson on the Dave channel right now.
He is a villain but a loveable one at that.
He has enough money to pay for damages because of his assault but the racism thing is total bollocks :thumbdown:
Go ahead punk, make my day!

There was no racism involved.
I call a spade, a spade and if I can't call an Irishman and Irishman then there is something wrong in this country.
