Jeremy Clarkson

I do not understand, phoenix. Why isn't a petition asking for him to be sacked not what you want?

Anyway, anyone can start a petition on change.org using any wording they want.

Yep! The Oxfordshire set. The PM's got a point though.

Our licence fee would probably go up without Top Gear bringing in the dosh.

The old boy network at work

Oh leave off you lot! It's just a telly programme. It gives pleasure to millions. It harms no one. Jeremy Clarkson is a 'personality'. He's good on the programme. You don't have to mix with him in real life!

There seems to be a lot of anti comments on change.org (where I think the campaign to keep the obnoxious man started) but I am a loss as to how to start a petition to keep the egotistical, self satisfied, opinionated oik away and out of an obscenely high pay job where he seems to be rewarded for being all those things that I said about him!

(I could say a lot more, and in more colourful language, but I would probably be banned!)

Somehow I don't think it's going to make nearly half a million any time soon. Which is sad.

I agree, Ana. Can anyone share it on facebook, to get more signatures?

On the news, phoenix.

The link to change.org should work now I've said I'm not me.
Or it just did for me, so maybe it is just you.

It was an item on the BBC 10 o'clock news, phoenix.

He said he hoped it would soon be sorted out because his kids love Top Gear.

Only 176 supporters so far durhamjen - it's a pity a counter-petition wasn't started as soon as the 'reinstate JC' one was launched.

The links provided didn't seem to work if you just wanted to sign them, but it may of course be me!

merlot where is Cameron showing support for the inflated ego arsehole Jeremy Clarkson comment? Please tell then I can (hopefully) add a comment!

The man is vile. Just like his BBC "friend" Jonathan Woss. I notice he has been welcomed back into the fold. Horrible people.

Both members of the Chipping Norton set (along with many others!)

This is a current one on change.org, which is where the one to reinstate him was begun.

The others seem to be older ones, years ago.

They are friends apparently.

Surely a PM should stay out of something like this?

What the heck is David Cameron doing showing support for Clarkson on TV?

I think that was quite funny. He was referring to Hammond.

He also said after Michael Schumaker's accident that the trouble with head injuries is that when you recover you can come back as a midget with a marked Brummie accent. He thinks he's very funny. He's wrong.

Not just Clarkson's crass remak about BSE Phoenix, he outdid himself when he complained that suicides on Network Rail really peed him off because they held his train up. The man is a complete bore.

Top Gear has moved from being a mildly interesting programme for petrolheads to a ludicrous display of 'Who can smash a car up more completely... Hammond, May or the Idiot Clarkson?' I don't know what blows a bigger hole in the ozone.... the emissions from their cars as they roar all over the planet in childish races, or the load of tosh that Clarkson emits from his gob

I believe so, I have just signed them.

Are these current petitions pompa? I saw quite a few old ones (last year) when I googled. We don't want to squander our votes!

And another

Here is the petition you requested

I believe that someone tried to start one on the Gov. Epetitions thing but it was rejected for some reason.
