Jeremy Clarkson Causes ANOTHER BBC Scandal!
Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson has sparked another BBC scandal just a week after Manuelgate hit the news.
On Sunday night’s Top Gear, Clarkson offended truck drivers everywhere by accusing them spending their time “driving and murdering prostitutes”.
Also up in arms are relatives of those young women killed by truckers Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright.
Clarkson said on last weekend’s TV show:
“What matters to lorry drivers? Murdering prostitutes? Fuel economy? It really is a hard job and I’m not just saying that to gain favour with truck drivers. There’s so much to do.
“You’ve got to change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror… murder a prostitute. Change gear, change gear, murder.”
The BBC have now admitted that they received 188 complaints over Clarkson’s remakrs, and TV watchdog Ofcom is investigating.
That’s just what they need!

jeremy clarkson is a prat. ross was fined and him and brand suspended, clarkson shoudl be as well - trouble is, the bbc let him do whatever he wants and they couldn’t care less how offensive he is.
I love top gear and whatever comment Clarkeson made would have been in his usual sarcastic manner. Not to offend anyone but to be scathing towards murderous villains.
It’s satire. It’s entertaining. I hate these incessant complainers, 188 out of 7 million viewers (yeah thats offensive) and most likely the people complaining didn’t see the programme. You could say “I like ice cream” to 7 million people and I bet more than 188 would claim they were offended. DB you are a complete moron, you’d probably enjoy writing a list of things everyone else isn’t allowed to say. If you dont like a certain entertainer change the channel or do soething else don’t inflict your opinion on everyone. I’m always reminded by that teacher favourite “it’s a small number that spoils it for everyone.”
No doubt you’re a murdering lorry driver……..
Why is it people who are offended by Jeremy are those that reallly have no proper sense of humour, or have ever watched him on TV.
The man is brilliant, and as a gay man as well, I “should” be offended by more than half what he says, but it’s FUNNY! This over-sensitivity is getting beyond a joke!
But lorry drivers do murder prostitutes so what’s the problem?!
DB: before you take anything else far too seriously this was a joke!
Jeremy Clarkson is a legend.
Everyone is going mad for this political correctness malarky. Jeez! No one will be allowed to have laugh anymore.
