"I'd happily sheite in Clarksons face, the man is an utter teewat!"
That made me chuckle, it should be one of the comments you see on the adverts for his DVD.
Without knowing the statistics I would take a guess that it is one of the BBC's most exported TV programmes.

Absolute BS Vidicshin. The public sector takes a beating whilst the private sector continue on their merry way with bankers and co stripping hundreds of millions from the economy.
........................................
We all take a beating; public and private sector alike! The public sector are not the only ones having pay frozen and pensions altered!
You come out with the usual line about bankers which is rather tired and pointless; the vast majority of the private sector are struggling along like everyone else. If you're going to point your finger at bankers then why not point it at the Fat Cats of the public sector commanding high salaries with large expense claims?
The rich may well be getting richer that's what they do, wealth aids growth of wealth, however the important thing is the poor are getting richer too, comparitively speaking. If we are to further aid the poor; one of the most constructive things we could do is stop worrying and moaning so much about the rich, whether some wealthy banker gets a million pound bonus or not is not going to affect someone on a low income, unless everyone on low income is so shallow that taking money from the rich makes them feel better, even if it has no benefit to themselves!!!

..................
It is the typical response form people who are led by Labour loyalties, but are incapable of thinking for themselves.
It is always someone elses fault. Yes the bankers were reckless, but they were reckless under Blair and Browns watch.
Thet were not reckless to the extent Blair and Brown were with their borrowing and the countries finances.
A child with an abacus could have figured out that you cant't borrow more than you can pay back.
Now, everybody has to pay the price, wheter we like it or not.
The sad thing is, some of these mindless people would still vote for Labour, despite all the evidence telling them not to.
And out of interest, I am not a Tory.
Ruiney, not to drag up old news but Brand and Ross were bang out of order with Sachsgate, phoning up a 79 year old to tell him that one of them had ****** his granddaughter! Its not cool, rebellious or "un PC" to slag off an old man, its just wrong.
I agree that the media witch hunt after was totally OTT but that dosen't excuse the fact they were complete numptys in the first place.
As for Clarkson he is a professional WUM, (on Ja he would be a WUM for Doncaster Rovers lol) he thrives on this kind of thing, of course he didn't mean it.
Lambsy: After that last post I think you've missed your calling in life, you could have been a speach writer for pretty much the whole of the right wing world!
Thatcher would have still been in power today had she had you!

Some good posts.
About the whole thing being a joke and therfore OK. Comedians make jokes and because they a making a joke then you know it is their job and that they don't necessarily mean what they say and the joke can be taken in that context - they are saying it for humerous effect. Most political comedians poke fun at both sides regardless of their own political leanings. You only have to watch Have I Go News for You and Mock The Week to see this in action. On the other hand have you ever seen Clarkson make an anti-right wing joke - no. Because he has an agenda, it's more than just a job - he means it.
Clarkson isn't a comedian, he's a broadcaster and journalist who hates certain elements of society and gets paid (more in a couple of months than public sector workers will ever get paid in a lifetime of pension payments) to belittle them whenever he sees fit as a by product of making a program that's slightly less mentaly stimulating than Play School.

Some very good points there, but you are misinformed on a few.
Public Sector Workers, or at least the ones I know, have to contribute to their own pensions, they are not a gift, and some of them are not that good.
Also, your view of Public Sector Workers being lazy and pen pushers, is a rather lazy and incorrect view.
That said, the public sector have to fall in line with the government here. There really is not any choice, and the deal presented to them was very fair, considering the shambles Labour left the countries economy in.
The labour government were responsible for this mess but if people think the tories or coalition government as some people like to refer to them have got the working man's best interests at heart then they need their head checking, they through the media are playing this economic crisis like a banjo, making people think these disgraceful cuts are for the good and we should be grateful for their brave decision making, dark times ahead with this lot.
Yes, they do have to contribute a small amount to their pensions but nowhere near as much as a worker in the private sector would need to contribute to have a final pension of the same value. Also, yes, public sector workers on the front line like nurses, police, firemen etc do work hard but the majority of people in public sector jobs are clerical office jobs and believe me, my employees have day to day contact with them and they are lazy and incompetant, as well as having cushy hours and larger holiday entitlement than their private sector counterparts.

As I say, a lot of truth to what you say, but also some that isn't.
One aspect where public sector fall behind private sector is pay.

-----------------------
that used to be the case, and was the main reason for them having shorter working hours, more holidays, flexitime and good pensions. its not the case anymore. I employ over 100 people whose pay rate it slightly above the minimum wage. That's the best we can pay due to the extremely low rates that our council pay us. My competitors in the area pay pretty much the same rate as I do, yet the council employees doing the same job earn £2 - £3 per hour more. Also, until recently, public sector workers have had guaranteed annual pay increases that go above what the public sector has been able to offer for the same type of work.
sorry, above what the private sector has been able to offer
Anyone would think that public sector emplyees don't pay tax.
