Can't stand the bloke, but couldn't really give a shit about this.
The argies constantly trap off about the Falklands, their cunt footballers even paraded a banner about it before one of their games, and we have people there and now here getting upset about a number plate?

I'm not calling for him to be sacked, far from it, I find him amusing in a sort of Downs child sort of way but to say he never says anything offensive, is quite clearly wide off the mark.

Well put,I'm no fan of Clarkeson but he seems to get more stick off the PC lot than he deserves.
I'm delighted to see the PC do gooders are becoming a thing of the past.

People calling for him to be sacked I doubt are offended by - rather they just don't like him. Pretty sad really

Frankly I wish more people would say more 'offensive' things more often.
Perhaps the whole pc world wouldn't then throw it's collective hands up in horror every time someone utters anything that's even vaguely un-pc with utterly ridiculous demands for the 'offender' to be sacked immediately.
It's pathetic.

Not a swerve - just don't feel strong enough about it to bother reading all that.
I quite like Clarkson and I watch Top Gear from time to time. I don't it or him too seriously and I don't get offended by someone's opinions whatever they are and find people that do more than a bit sad.
I can't wait to see the meltdown when they take a VW Polo with the number plate HIT13R down the Autobahn

Polite, you sure about that?
Agenda?
Clarkson's comments and actions have sometimes resulted in complaints from viewers, car companies, and national governments. In October 1998, Hyundai complained to the BBC about what they described as "bigoted and racist" comments he made at the Birmingham Motor Show, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had "eaten a dog" and that the designer of the Hyundai XG had probably eaten a spaniel for his lunch. Clarkson also allegedly referred to those working on the BMW stand as "Nazis", although BMW said they would not be complaining.[49] In a later incident during a Top Gear episode broadcast on 13 November 2005, Clarkson, while talking about a Mini design that might be "quintessentially German", made a mock Nazi salute, and made references to the Hitler regime and the German invasion of Poland by setting the GPS system to Poland.[88]
In April 2007, he was criticised in the Malaysian parliament for having described one of their cars, the Perodua Kelisa, as the worst in the world, "its name was like a disease and suggested it was built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes". A Malaysian government minister countered, pointing out that no complaints had been received from UK customers who had bought the car.[89][90]
While in Australia, Clarkson made disparaging remarks aimed at the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, in February 2009, calling him a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" and accused him of lying. These comments were widely condemned by the Royal National Institute of Blind People and also Scottish politicians who requested that he should be taken off air.[91][92][93][94] He subsequently apologised for referencing Brown's monocular blindness, but insisted: "I haven't apologised for calling him an idiot."[95]
In July 2009, Clarkson was reported to have called Prime Minister Brown "a silly cunt" during a warm-up while recording a Top Gear show. Although several newspapers reported that he had subsequently argued with BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow,[96] who was present at the recording, the BBC denied that he had been given a "dressing down".[97] John Whittingdale, Conservative chair of the Culture Select Committee remarked: "Many people will find that offensive, many people will find that word in particular very offensive [...] I am surprised he felt it appropriate to use it."

He thinks he's being funny.
And being rich and famous he's under the false impression he can do or say what he likes and we'll all laugh our heads off at how clever and naughty he is.

Depends whether his opinion is about cars or whether it's offensive racist rubbish.

I serious cannot believe that people actually think this is true. Top Gear is a TV programme and just like when it has bit the papers in the past this episodes ratings will go up. That is what good publicity stunts do.
It is a light entertainment programme and anyone that takes it serious or gets upset by it needs to take a look at themselves.
As for Clarkeson, whether you agree with his opinions or not, do you really want him censored for having an opinion. If he and people like him get sacked for saying what they think then TV will just be more full of boring robots than it already is. I love that he doesn't give a shit what people think of him

I presume there will be some sort of investigation given the making of a BBC program seem to be have put in a life threatening position.
Just listening to 5live and they are saying the last change of use of this number plate is registered as having happened in August.
If this was done deliberately I'm hoping the destruction of these cars won't be included in the production costs that the BBC (ie the licence payers ) are billed for.
