He's Scottish, he's blind in one eye and he's stupid. So why was an apology needed?

BBC has become a pro islamic media outlet.Watch their top of the hour report and it starts with the weather in the mid east before their own.Rarely is a top story Britain related.The old staff of british reporters have been replaced with mid eastern women.Stick a fork in that country they're done and we're next.

he'll be forgiven, he's popular and didn't say "Golliwog" or make fun of Islam. You can insult and abuse anyone here provided they are -
a. White
b. Christian
c. Jews.

all others are protected by law .

don't forget the people who complained, were complaining about the "one-eyed" bit, NOT because Brown is the PM. You can't make fun of people with sight problems any more. Mr Magoo is never on the BBC any more.

Top Gear is cr@p anyway. I have yet to watch it without falling asleep.

It's nothing more than watching some pratt on videotape talk and drive cars that no one can afford anyway.

Jeremy is arguably one of the funniest men on television today anywhere in the world.

It is a shame that telling the truth needs elicit an apology. UK has fallen deeper than the US has into the PC morass.

They do love to take the piss out of the US too. Perhaps their funniest ever episode was the one shot in Alabama, where I think they were, in fact, genuinely in fear for their safety.

I know! they hate seeing those cars, thinking it's killing polar bears and flooding Bangla Desh. They hate us having a good time. They want us to ride bikes and buses , and listen to ethnic music and Lenny Henry.
SOD the lot of them! I've got two fat gas-guzzlers, and I wish I'd not sold my Cadillac now.

Yes - the boys were definitely in a bit of trouble there ok...But my favourite so far has to be the last one in the series when they were in Vietnam... First class laughs all the way.

Jeremy rather liked land cruisers.

Wasn't too fond of the electric car.

In fact it got into a contest with a kitchen table.

And lost.

Daily Horoscope for December 12

Aquarius

Ring a friend for a quick chat and you could still be on the phone an hour later, while this person yaks away non-stop with no signs of coming to a halt. It will be the same story if you see someone face to face, because they'll be garrulous in the extreme. Mind you, the same could be said of you, even though you may not be aware that you're hogging the conversational limelight.
