Labour supporters, socialists, Marxists and various activists are all jumping on to their band-waggon in their persecution of Jeremy Clarkson.
The BBC has so far received 21,000 complaints about him re his sensational remarks about public service strikers.
Storm in a tea-cup?
Whilst I'd accept that Jeremy Clarkson may not be the most agreeable person, I find him witty and I enjoy his programmes, particularly Top Gear. It is hugely enjoyable. I rarely miss it.
I find their school-boy humour refreshingly uplifting in this era of political correctness. I approve of their jibes about New Labour and Gordon Brown.
Only a cretin or imbecile could sincerely believe that Jeremy Clarkson would wish anyone to be executed. Socialists dislike him because they find him provocative.

Call me a Guardian reading socialist if you like, but I would certainly stop short of having them shot. However, they are public servants, and should remember their place. They are there to serve their master, the public. If they are not happy with their lot, they can try their luck in the private sector, or emigrate. It strikes me that the tail is wagging the dog - it is the state of the economy that determines how much they can be paid, not them themselves. If they were my own servants, I might have them flogged, but certainly not shot. VC
VC, I shan't call you a Guardian Reading Socialist! ;-)
I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson is delighted with the reaction. His comment may not have been politically correct, but I thought it was quite funny and typically Clarkson. Perhaps some folk should lighten up?
Mr Clarkson, as an employee of the BBC, is also, surely, a public servant and, therefore, should also know his place?
I must say I'm not a fan of Top Gear, too frivolous and choreographed. However as a print media journalist Clarkson is excellent. His weekly column in the Sunday Times Review supplement is seldom less than hilarious, both of my teenage sons are avid fans of the column. In the weekly article I have read him advocating worse punishments than public execution, and very few personalities or regimes escape his wrath. After a run in with lawyers some time back, he referred to them as, "Black clad vultures circling society". Exactly! And I wasn't even offended on their behalf.
VC. can i remind you that people like yourself represent 1% of society, leaving 99% working class(public sector workers etc). now because we live in a democracy it is those who have the largest percentage of the vote who run the country and make decisions. if your not careful the 99% might wake up and take all that was taken on them by the greedy.you can always emigrate to a non democratic country or even better hand back that was stolen by your forefathers.
Anonymous, I would compare the public sector in Northern Ireland to an overgrown hedge. It is, no doubt, absolutely essential, but if it grows out of control then it takes all the light away from the productive parts of the garden. No point in having an enormous hedge, if there are no vegetables to eat or flower to cut. It needs a good, fairly ruthless pruning to get it under control, then constant attention and clipping to make sure it does not take over. I believe we in Northern Ireland now have a higher dependency on the public sector than communist Russia, and not being a communist myself, I don't believe this to be a very good thing. VC
