Announced today by the BBC that Jeremy Clarkson will appear as a host on the satirical programme "Have I Got News For You".

A spokesman said that although Clarkson's Top Gear contract had been cancelled, that was not a ban on appearing on BBC TV.

I imagine that Paul Merton and Ian Hislop will do plenty of teasing on the subject of Top Gear, producers, meals and violence!

just come across this post. We have rants about the BBC being controlled by Jew- Tories and homosexuals, without much adverse comments or any reaction by the administrator. If I wanted that i would log on to the BNP site. Though I am neither Jewish or gay, I really think this site has sunk as low as I want to see it. I have enjoyed the forum over the past 5 years, but will ride off before you start singing "tomorrow belongs to me".

Wow I missed those posts, I would be sorry to see a clearly decent person such as yourself leave the forum.

I have to say I agree with you billadie and well done for saying so. I regret not saying something earlier. I hope you will stay after all and speak out when necessary and others have stood by silent.
Its worth quoting the well known poem written by a German pastor who spoke out against Hitler and spent the war in a concentration camp.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

There's another way of expressing disapproval online though, that is by only giving likes to the rational posts.

Look on the previous page 7 and there are plenty of likes for the rational and reasonable posts, but almost no support for the homophobic and anti-semitic posts. Such support as there was for those came from a fellow extremist poster in one instance, and in another the support was for the humour rather than the content.

The controller of BBC 2 has announced today that the program "Top Gear" will definitely be returning in due course, without Jeremy Clarkson of course. She refused to say anything about the program's future other than saying she is committed to it and that it will be exciting. She said that Richard Hammond and James May have been included in the discussions but would not make any comment on whether they will be included in the new program.

As I forecast in this post, unsurprisingly ITV hasn't come forward with any offers for Clarkson, nor have any others.

Fascinating,Hammond and may were adamantly loyal to JC and said theyd resign,which,frankly,isn't at all as edifying as it sounds,given what JC did,not to mention his arrogant denial. On a different level I read clarkson's column in the Sunday times - an alleged argument for rescuing African migrants from the med. With some despair I thought it must be one of the most cynical reinventions I have yet had the misfortune to witness.

The Beeb has said that the unfinished series of TG will be aired in the summer they did not say whether they will be re-edited to leave Jezza out or not. I assume they may leave him in as he was due to appear on HIGNFY.
