Absolutely. London today has just been empty. Everybody stayed at home, you can whizz about, restaurants are empty," he said.<br /> "It's also like being back in the 70s. It makes me feel at home somehow," said the Top Gear presenter, before adding: "But we have to balance this though, because this is the BBC" and went on: "Frankly, I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. I mean, how dare they go on strike when they have these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living?"</p> <p>When the presenters pointed out that these were Clarkson's personal views, he said: "They're not. I've just given two views for you." </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/jeremy-clarkson-on-the-one-show/page/9#post-3233725 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:50:55 +0000 hora 3233725@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>What do we pay clarkson then Hora - do you know or care?</blockquote></p> <p>How much money do you think Clarkson brings into the Beeb?</p> <p>Hes not like the likes of Ross is he.
