Jeremy Clarkson dropped from Top Gear, BBC confirms - BBC News

Jeremy Clarkson dropped from Top Gear, BBC confirms - BBC News.

How typically BBC and it's Old Boy network that regardless of who Clarkson has attacked over the years they've made their excuses and let him carry on yet, he attacks one of the 'Boys' at the BBC and he's sacked!

It says way more about the BBC than it does JC. Even when announcing the news the man from the Beeb was practically apologetic as though, if he could find some way of letting it go he would. I'd not be at all shocked were JC not back on Top Gear in 2016

Now, sadly, this does leave rather a lot of confusion for those booked for a 'Top Gear Live' event. I am not entirely sure what is going to happen there but, surely all must be cancelled now? As of the latest I've been able to discover, the organisers and promoters are certain the shows will go ahead as planned with the Top Gear presenters, May, Hammond and Clarkson. Whether they can legally use a man sacked from the show to represent it internationally is another question, one which would be a major embarrassment to the BBC.

But, good old Jeremy eh? A bit of a knob says James May, well, that's kind of an understatement mate. He's a sexist, homophobic out of touch snob is what he is coupled with a large degree of racism thrown in and total disregard for anyone who doesn't think how he does.

My personal experience of the man was when he unusually refused to meet the guests on a show he co-hosted with Ruby Wax and his reason was that he didn't want to spend any more time with that sort of people than he had to ... the show was about gay parents.

Perhaps now Top Gear can get back to what it used to be really good at, presenting cars in a fun and entertaining way across the broad range, not just Super Cars. Perhaps it can get back to letting the cars be the stars and not how Clarkson and crew now have it that the cars are almost an annoying interruption to their version of entertainment

I agree with all you say and I'm so glad this racist, homophobic, sexist idiot has been sacked. The problem is that he will be taken up by another channel so we will have to suffer his horrible face there. Needless to say I won't be watching the programme whatever channel shows him.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
