Its time for the BBC to sack Clarkson?

"Whats execution Daddy? And why do I have to watch?"
Get a grip! You have no arguement whatsoever.
No,
I have no problem at all.
But I don't want to listen to Swearing or offensive language and subject matter eating my spag bol with my children.
Brilliant comeback,
So parents can no longer explain jokes or fact from fiction or anything else.
Well in that case we better ban everything before 8pm on BBC1, seeing as you think it's acceptable on bbc2 at 8pm. Even though kids watch topgear.

2000 people have complained? Wonder how many of these bandwagon jumping ***** actually watched it? 
His comments were meant as a joke and he's offered to apologise on TV if required to do so. Hope he gets a pay rise tbh.

A point that you have all failed to remark on is that JC has apologised himself...So even he deemed it wrong.
If he did it to keep the peace then he seriously has no balls
No, he deemed it necessary due to the reaction and still worded it such away, that basically said anyone who took offensive is an idiot.
4700 complaints and how many viewers does the one show have, it's 4.4million. That's also after media and unions got involved. Shows who is in the minority doesn't it.

No. Just someone who took it as a joke and didn't give it a second thought.
He sold out to keep his job...Watta Guy!
His job was never in question, as much as people like you wanted it to be
The minority have taken offence, which includes you. I'm sure if you could ask every single person in the country you would see more taking the comments in jest (and more importantly IN CONTEXT), or really not caring at all.

Major over reaction isn't it. Complaints as a perecentage. Next to nothing.
Look how he worded the apology. It was a apology for people who got offended.
Why?
Top gear is considered family, as is the news. As is a whole load of tv. Which requires parental explanation.
Did he swear? (I didn't see it).
I would imagine he made himself look like a fool more than anything, rather than being outrageously offensive. It would have been different if he had sat there in an SS uniform....
