You racist cunt. I live in a country where white people were slaves.

It's surprisingly close to the truth. For every dollar a man earns, a woman gets 73 cents.

This leaves the man with 27 cents, but feminists still appear to think this is unfair.

Ok, I'm joking. The truth is that a married man will only spend 40% of his income - his wife will spend the other 60%. Unless they're divorced, in which case he only gets 30%.

Yeah, damn those inconvenient confounding factors like greater experience and longer hours.

Surprising, that when you compare single childless women in their twenties to single childless men in their twenties, that the women earn more than the men. Damn that shitty statistic, for not complying with the almighty feminist agenda.

Fuck you.

I'm glad you've never been harassed, assaulted or falsely accused by a woman.

I wish I could say the same for myself.

What the fuck has that got to do with it?

You're fucking weird, you are.

No, his explanations are very accurate.

You're taking umbrage at basic facts. Is that because they don't suit your world view, because you have some irrational hatred of Clarkson or is it because you're an ignorant fuckwit?

Except on Top Gear. Sadly.

Maybe the fact he went out and bought one, and imported it into the UK is a small hint?

Although he's recently commented that it turned out to be a truly shit car to own, and he regrets the purchase. But that's because it was a shit car to own.

Other staff members at the BBC win. They know that their safety and working conditions matter more to the BBC than the bottom line.

Which is appropriate.

Maybe the extensive international sales that pay for the filming, pay for the trips, pay the wages of everybody involved including Clarkson himself.

The BBC just took a massive financial hit by choosing not to renew his contract. It's the right decision, but don't go pretending that it hasn't hurt them.

No, what did he do in Argentina? I mean, other than admire the stunning scenery and drive a car around?

People in Argentina bleat on about other shit, but they're talking total nonsense - much like their comments on the Falklands.

Sorry but the jokes about prostitutes, Mexicans, cheese-eating surrender monkeys and bridges with their ends at different heights should not be disciplinary offences.

Shit, I've heard Ben Elton make cunt jokes on the BBC, but he's a lefty darling so nobody sacked him for it. Clarkson employs similarly edgy humour to entertain and I'm fucked off with the PC brigade that caused him so much shit about it all.

Learn to take a fucking joke.

Incidentally, which n-word? November? Nostril? 'Nuh nuh' as someone below has commented? Whichever one you're referring to, you do realise that Clarkson himself reviewed that tape and requested that it wasn't broadcast. Hardly the act of a man intent on inciting racial hatred is it.

No, they'd be congratulating him, wishing they'd had the chance, putting him forward for the honours list.

If my company was providing me with accommodation, food and a 20 hour working day, and I was on a final warning, and then I hit the colleague providing me with the food as part of his job?

Yes, I'm very ok with the company taking a dim view on that.

Are you really suggesting this is acceptable behaviour?

I'm going to miss it because it was fucking entertaining. It was irreverent (except to certain classic cars), it was happy to mock everybody, it gave a voice to the idiot within me. It had cars that cost more than my lifetime earnings and the camera work of dreams.

Me either, but I'll still very much miss the tv programme.

This is probably why the American Top Gear never worked.

The British hosts never review any car objectively. They don't even pretend. That's half the fucking point.

You seriously underestimate the creative input from the presenters, and the other two happily acknowledge that Clarkson makes a massive contribution.

..although it's worth watching the show just for this, yes.
