Petition to sack Jezza reaches 1000 in 10 months!

 

 

Sack Jeremy Clarkson…..Change.org working for truth and justice, a fairer society and a BBC that consists entirely of left wingy mush…

Jeremy Clarkson has proved himself to be a deplorable man. His employment with the BBC is funded through licence fees paid by the general public.

We the undersigned do not believe that a warning is sufficient recourse given Mr Clarkson’s previous discriminatory comments and given the public profile that he has.

The only acceptable way in which the BBC can demonstrate it’s top-level commitment to diversity and equality (on and off/screen) is to relieve Mr Clarkson of his position with immediate effect. We trust that the BBC will act with integrity and take the necessary action.

Kind regards,

Reece Williams and Jayne Linney

 

Like that ‘kind regards”’as they seek to put a man on the dole and his family on the breadline.

 

Way to go yet….

    The BBC will probably ignore them all, yet the acted over a non-racial comment when ONE woman complained over the word “slope”.

    The paedophile protecting BBC (Buggering Boys Club) does not give a shit about their viewers at all.

          the term slope pre-dates the vietnamese conflict …it was more widespread in 1850s+ american railroad expantion due to high volumes of imported chinese labour which was radically cheaper than employing caucasian imigrants from mainland europe ect
          The more widespread term Gook used during the vietnam war derives from the earlier philipene uprusing where this term was given to insurgents

    So I hear Clarkson had done a Naomi Campbell

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/naomi-campbells-roll-of-shame-read-795002

    ‘It’s not the first time the fiery super model has courted controversy. She has been accused of a string of outbursts in the past, here are her Top Ten ‘hits’….February 2000: Pleads guilty to a 1998 assault on Georgina Galanis, her then assistant… etc etc etc…’

    I’m sure the BBC will soon see beyond Jezza’s little indiscretions and be quite happy to promote him to children as a role model – just like they do with Naomi.

    The BBC are rattled by the petition. They have compared it to other petitions which have attracted more signatures – like the Zimmerman issue they pushed day after day with misleading data and phony photographs.
    Says the BBC:

    ‘And what about some of the most popular petitions of all time on the site? More than 2.2m people signed a petition to prosecute George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Treyvon Martin, a black teenager shot by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in the US in 2012’.

      He also presented an excellent prog on Isambard Brunel as a candidate for “Greatest Living Englishman”. Interesting and entertaining.

      I don’t watch Top Gear – but this whole episode looks like a vendetta against Clarkson. He is too un-PC for the BBC, too forthright for its namby-pamby hothouse culture.

    As I remember it, Jeremy Clarkson had a chat show that was even more intellectually informative than the Michael Parkinson show.

    Chat shows are now celebrity mush, exclusively reserved for the ignorant, the politically correct, the brainwashed and those repressed by the censorship of free speech.

    Chat shows at the BBC now have “You can’t say that” as the prime directive, so they don’t invite any intelligent guests anymore.

    Interestingly, the petition on the same Change.org forum headed “Sack Jeremy Clarkson” has only managed 1400 in the ten months it has been around, and most of them today.

    If the BBC is a public service, I’d say this is pretty good data on what its customers feel. Let’s see what they do about it.

          This ‘we’ you invoke would be who now?

          As it stands still, the BBC has alluded to a lot then promptly reserved the right to say no more until its secret internal procedures have been filtered.

          Despite this, across its reporting estate from main news to magazines to online trending it has encouraged and even set up debates. All based around what the BBC has teased or leaked. And withheld.

          Hence many in the audience are reacting based on what may or may not be accurate, as suits the BBC spinners as this spirals out of their strategic control. Which then gets passed off as ‘reporting’ or ‘analysis’.

          Thank you for the opportunity to clarify.

          As you are here, any comment on the BBC opening up threads during the day and closing after a few hours, and before the vast majority get home from work? Hardly representatative, is it?

    I’ve learnt that Jeremy Clarkson was once cautioned by a Metropolitan Police Officer and that this radicalised him.

    A spokesman for the government-funded charity BRAKE said that, “he had been such a nice quiet boy up until that time and had never ever exceeded the speed limit”.

    The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Force apologised for any upset that his officers might have caused and said, “Jeremy has committed no crime and will be welcome back in London at any time”.

    BBC Newsnight will address the question, “What pushed Jeremy Clarkson off the rails? Where did we all go wrong?”

    Someone (I think Framer; if not, apols) elsewhere raised the odd disconnect between ‘sources’ within the BBC claiming Jezza slaughtered the innocents with a chain gun, and the fact that the police seem either uninvolved or uninterested (don’t know if they have a Savile Mind Blank to Cliff Copter scale to assess responses) in what ‘may’ have been a gesture in a general direction. Elderberries optional.

    So as actual confirmed detail remains Glaswegian in extent, this gets a wee bit closer to procedure maybe:

    The BBC comment pages usually feature 5 comments although you can see more if you wish. Interestingly and, AFAIAA completely against the run of the 3,000+ comments, of the last 5 comments on the (now closed) list no less than 3 are of the “Clarkson is a disgrace” type. The final one is from “Jon Snow” (which is either the lefty Channel 4, BBC wannabe or someone channelling him): the comment reads: “Can someone start a survey [sic] requesting he isn’t taken back, tired of his anti-cycling jibes”. Phew, some good work there by the site editors: if they hadn’t acted quickly (and at that precise moment) to shut down comments, it could have seemed – on a cursory examination – that viewers were heavily supporting Clarkson.

      BTW: Anyone watch the Newsnight debate with Kirsty Allsopp (who managed not to be able to develop her argument) and the gobby Owen Jones (spouting and interrupting with his one dimensional well worn bigotry), chaired by the useless member of the bien pensant BBC liberal elite, Evan Davis? It ever got round to considering what they set out to consider; the liberal left wing establishment that Clarkson was perceived to be railing against.

      It was hopeless. No wonder Newsnight is going down the pan and is having to trawl for viewers on the Ten o Clock News.

      Perhaps Davis and Katz should follow Clarkson out of the door

      If the producer was a british soldier in iraq and done the same to captured terrorists, the BBC and the rest of the left wing pricks in the country would describe this as a war crime and demand the producer be sentenced to death wouldnt they?

      If you read the comments supporting the signatures on the petition the main gripe is that they feel that that the BBC is enforcing its lefty outlook on us and JC represents them in response.

      Most have assumed an “innocent until proven guilty” on the substance since nobody is actually aware of exactly what happened.

      When the BBC claimed ignorance over Savile, Hall and Harris and deliberately put a lid on their own investigation they holed themselves below the water line. If they can ignore and cover-up paedophillia by their own staff on their property then they can never claim any kind of moral high ground for they are truly amoral.

      The Janet Smith enquiry started over 2 years ago. Since then she has hired more QC’s into the investigation and it is still going on. This says that;
      1. The results are so bad that they need to wait for a major event to happen to release it under the “smoke screen”.
      2. The results are so shocking that the BBC would be closed immediately with dramatic consequences for the thousands employed there.
      3. A major judicial enquiry would be required and many household names will be in the spotlight which is currently not needed see 1 above.

      What do you mean? Phil Jupitus is the future of Top Gear if Comrade Danny Cohen gets his way….

      Top Gear will be completely revamped and hosted by Jo Brand, Lenny Henry and Frankie Boyle….The revamped :Stig” will become environmentally friendly, in line with the BBCs world view of Global warming, and fundamentally safety conscious – Whilst Jupitos will be a regular component checking in as the “Star in the politically correct car”, where-by each week, a leftist Guardianista luvvie will be chosen to lecture us on Britain’s disgusting colonial past…..

      It’s a Danny Cohen dream to bring Top Gear in line with every other show the BBC currently produce, because Comrade Cohen must be obeyed, and the licence payers must fund their own leftist indoctrination..

    I don’t much like like Clarkson, and I’m not really interested in cars, so I don’t watch Top Gear, but I don’t hate the man. Clearly he is popular and that’s fine with me. Much of the negative reaction he seems to provoke in some people is completely over the top.
    However, I do think there are far more troubling issues with the BBC, than whether Clarkson goes or stays. And lets get real, if he does go he is not going to be signing on the dole.

      I don;t care how popular you are or how politically correct or incorrect. Incompetence is no excuse for a celebrity to raise his hand against staff.

          We are talking about the BBC. The BBC would not risk the financial fall out of postponing their most popular and profitable show if there wasn’t a lawsuit and/or a strike if they didn’t. Political correctness is a very fuzzy concept. Assault isn’t.

          The Saville case doesn’t help us. Had he been exposed while still employed I have no doubt he would have been suspended pending inquiry.

          I deliberately restricted this to celebrities because there are thousands of honest. anonymous BBC staff earning about the same as the rest of us. The organisation would collapse if there were not. That includes producers — and they are represented by unions.

            A long time ago I learned what assault wasn’t and battery was.

            An eye-opener into vague law, which used to muddle through as it was observed in the spirit vs. the letter by mostly sensible people.

            It no longer is.

            I do wonder what is included under ‘raising one’s hand’, as it appears even the target seems less than bothered.

    Why don’t the BBC give Clarkson a job on Eastenders , like they did with that fellow who murdered a taxi driver ?

    Perhaps Jezza was just being ” militant ” ?

    I am presuming this is not a spoof account.

    i am a producer at BBC TV London

    Big day tomorrow and I promise all the #BringBackClarkson fans I will tell the enquiry team that Jeremy did not hit me and this will be ok

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31832698

    ‘BBC News special correspondent Lucy Manning said sources had confirmed reports Clarkson was suspended for “allegedly hitting a producer”.

    Presuming the victim would know if he had been hit or not, seems Lucy’s sources had confirmed what she wanted to hear, at best.

    Am no particular fan of Clarkson, apart from the fact that he`s hated by the liberal left-so, like John Terry: I`ll take HIM over them….every time.
    I think it was “only Jeremy being Jeremy”…seemed to exonerate that useless blubbery bastard John Prescott.
    Maybe if he tupped his secretary near a Royal coffin, the leftys would learn to love him.

    Ha ha, nah, religion is an outdated form of social control. Jeremy is just offensive because he thinks it makes people laugh at him. Well they do but not for the reasons he thinks. Its not funny to be oppressive to folk just because you can be. Tbh honest, for a guy with so little talent, it amazes me he ever got anywhere.

      Because that’s exactly how the Fascist left behaves. Now even life long Labour members like Sir Trevor Philips has commented about the oppression and the thought control.

      I wonder how many of the left wing empty heads watching TV think the characters are real people? Seems that there’s a lot of them where Clarkson is concerned, because the things the are most allegedly aggrieved over (although how mush is genuine is anyones guess) have been written by script writers which Clarkson has merely read out. That includes the shooting people and the slope comments.

      If Jezza is sacked , you all know what to do , hang on to your fee they are expecting every year ,from you . With over 1 million supporters ,by the time the Kangeroo Court sits ,plus 6 to 8 million Top Gear viewers ,yes I know some are the same, the courts will clog up , they can`t send everyone to jail, & the Evil Bbc will be denied £300 to 400 million of funds. I know some of the 8 million will cough up , but I guess this cash, they will need ,may cause them to crash & burn. Of course people like the “Twat with Clap on the back seat of a bus” will come on here to defend them ,as he is embedded in Broadcasting House ,probably Scott`s boyfriend to boot too.

        You forget that there would also be a similar loss of revenue from overseas sales. You could be talking nearly £1bn here – if enough people could be organised enough to take action.

    This is all degenerating nicely into new depths of farce.

    Interesting how even CiF commenters are immediately picking up on a slight over-reliance on ‘sources’ to push narratives.

    Good question:

    Chris
    So my question is, what would be the outrage if Clarkson, say, threw a mobile phone at someone rather than punching them?

    One the BBC likely to go near, much less risk an answer?
