I’ve gone from being a TG fan to not really caring. When I heard this I thought ‘and’? Its almost as though things are being said/or not to keep attention. Cynical but.
I doubt that things are being said to draw attention, it’s hardly doing Clarkson or the BBC any favours when even David Cameron is forced to distance himself from the latest controversy his mate has caused.
Although I do share the bewilderment in trying to figure out why a clip, made apparently several years ago, never broadcast, and which needs a team of professional “audio forensic experts” to tell us whether or not we should be offended, is causing such a fuss when considering that Clarkson has been a **** for many years.
I don’t recall the incident in which Clarkson freely described someone as a “one eyed Scottish idiot”, which was clearly designed to deliberately insult and offend, and which he said directly facing a camera that he knew was recording him, causing him any serious problems or effecting his career.
So why the fuss over this latest story which was so ambiguous that the newspaper who broke it had to hire a team of experts so that we could be told if we had been offended ?
