Jeremy Clarkson controversial presenter of Top Gear and widely known for saying exactly what he thinks has upset a huge amount of people with his remarks on the BBC's One Show.
Here is a picture of Clarkson from last night - not quite with foot in mouth...
He said among other things about the people who were on strike yesterday....the list is longer but lets just use this quote..
"I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."
So far the BBC has had 4,700 complaints about this remark said in front of families during early evening viewing, and the list is growing. Although he says these things usually with a kind of joke bravado, his remarks were out of order here on the family evening show...and has upset those mums and dads who were striking, and many more people beyond.
Now the union UNISON are calling for him to be sacked. Even the presenters on the One Show had to apologise for its content last night thanks to Clarkson. This is even being discussed in the House of Commons as we speak.
Clarkson is a sort of buffoon..very much a lads mag type with overgrown late teen tendencies. He camps it up on Top Gear surrunded by boot-licking cronies who salivate on his every word. But once outside the lads mag world he just sounds like a buffoon. So it is unfortunate that the BBC brought him on to comment on more delicate matters last night on the day of the strikes.
