I dont really like clarkson. I know it might sound a bit wispy to go on about not deliberatley offending people, but in the case of the bbc i think its fair to say that they ought to be a bit more careful. its funded by us all and so should be acting in all of our interests. Clarksons got some pretty bigoted ideas imo.

For the wider media though im all for freedom of speech as long as its not directtly inciting anything which is realistically likely to create an immediate physical threat to anyone.
