DROP Clarkson

Drop Clarkson

The petition to reinstate Jeremy Clarkson into Top Gear has, sadly, gained a significant amount of signatures recently.

Regardless of his most recent spat, the presenter has a lamentable track record of casual offensiveness and cavalier prejudiced remarks and arrogance. These incidents almost always being shrugged off by Clarkson as if his own dis-ingenuousness were an excuse. With this in mind, perhaps Clarkson shouldn't have lasted as long as he did on the show.

We would like to encourage the BBC not to bow to pressure to reinstate Jeremy Clarkson. He is a disgraceful ambassador for the BBC and neither the fact that he could be regarded as a cash cow for the corporation, nor that he has a fan base of equally small minded and cynical individuals should excuse his conduct.

Do not reinstate Jeremy Clarkson to his former position.
