    Top Gear is a racist show now?

    I'm guessing you are a leftist.

    The only genuinely racialist moment was the "slope on the bridge" moment.

    It really sickens me to see a fellow member of the proletariat being victimised and bullied by management. Is there anything we can do?

    I don't think Top Gear will last without Clarkson all will be forgiven.

    Clarkson owns TopGear. Actually owns it.

    Too right! May is the class act of the three. A petition should be set up to get rid of Hammond. He has gone very unlikable in the last couple of years and always looks like he's acting or playing up to the camera.

    He suffered serious brain injuries.

    Unlikely. He owns the company that makes the show. The BBC dont own it.

    They brought it off him.

    Do you think he wants out?

    He can't just quit. He might want to get fired!

    Oh so he's "acting" like a dope and an arrogant dick of a tv presenter, thanks for clearing that up.

    It's what is expected of him and he has made a lot of money doing it, so why would he change? It's the same with George Hook and Eamon Dunphy, they are employed to be professional trolls.

    If the fact that he is still breathing annoys you that much, it just proves how good he is at his (current) job :D

    I actually don't get this about people if you don't like the man simply just don't watch him on tv its not like he is on 24/7 I for one absolutely love top gear as it is now and have watched it for past ten years the English media latch onto everything Clarkson says to find an issue with it. The whole n-word in the nursery rhyme was a joke id love to here one person claim to say they never used that as a kid. Or the slope on the bridge I donno maybe he did say it on purpose but if we look enough at every show on television I'm sure we could link loads of stuff to racism or what's not. People have nothing better to do they will have another agenda when he is gone off air.

    Actually he doesn't as I posted earlier. Even since 2007 he only held 30% stake, the BBC had the controlling +50% share.

    Top Gear will bomb without Clarkson. It's frachised in over 70 countries and worth close to £150 million to the BBC every year. They will apologise to him for their uppity snobbish behaviour and beg him to come back again (with a pay rise most likely)

    Jezza's funeral presumably, just joking, but I do hope he dies in a fire

    Sounds like another or stunt to me. The ratings must be bad for the current series.

    I would love to hate that show. It's laddish, mildly racist, british xenophobia have no place in the modern world.

    Specials are great though.

    There is a button on the top right hand corner of your remote. It turns off the telly. If you dont like a particular program you can turn it off, or you can change to one of the 70 billion other channels you have.

    Just in case you didn't know.
