Jeremy Clarkson insults Asians

Not content with broadcasting Anders Breivik style calls for the shooting of public sector workers and saying the remains of suicide victims should be eaten by wild animals, BBC presenter Jeremy Clarkson has been accused of racism after insulting Indian people in a Top Gear Xmas show, just two days after Indian student Anuj Bidve was shot dead in Salford. Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond painted huge banners and hung them from the side of Indian trains, which, ostensibly promoting British I.T. and food products, read "BRITISH IT FOR YOUR COMPANY" and "EAT ENGLISH MUFFINS". When the train split into 2 sections on leaving Jaipur railway station, each banner tore into 2 halves, leaving one half that read just ""BRITI" with the other half read "SHIT FOR YOUR COMPANY", and another half that read "INS" while the rest read "EAT ENGLISH MUFF". If BNP leader Nick Griffin travelled to India to display banners reading "Shit on India" and "Suck English Cunt" it would be no different. The Top Gear crew illustrated arriving in Jaipur - a town "famous for its natural springs", by showing scenes of locals urinating, and in another scene Jeremy Clarkson stripped off in front of two Indians - all incredibly clever and funny, except for not being clever or funny, and being pathetic. Jeremy Clarkson even chose to mock the desperate living conditions of India's poor, driving around working-class neighbourhoods in a Jaguar fitted with a toilet mounted on his car boot. The programme was shown by BBC2 TV at 8pm on Weds 28 Dec, just two days after Asian student Anuj Bidve was shot dead at point-blank range in Salford.

The BBC have yet to find the courage to say how many MORE members of the public complained since the 31,000 objections they'd received by 5 Dec 2011 - an entire month ago, alongside the 800 plus complaints lodged with Ofcom. Please increase the pressure by lodging fresh complaints with Ofcom and with the BBC about Jeremy Clarkson's racism (and judging by Top Gear employees' constant trolling of earlier IMC threads, public complaints have seriously rattled them, even if the likes of BBC boss Mark Thompson and Top Gear producer Andy Wilman themselves don't actually give a fuck)...
