Yesterday was a day of industrial action across much of the UK public sector. Jeremy Clarkson commented on the strikers, as is his wont, during an appearance on the One Show Trade union Unison has called on the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson following his "appalling" comments about killing striking public sector workers. The union said it was taking legal advice over comments made by the Top Gear presenter on The One Show. Referring to striking workers, Mr Clarkson said: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families." Unison said it was considering reporting the comments to the police. The BBC apologised for the comments and also for remarks about railway deaths. Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, said: "Clarkson's comments on The One Show were totally outrageous, and they cannot be tolerated. "An apology is not enough - we are calling on the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson immediately. "We are seeking urgent legal advice about what further action we can take against him and the BBC, and whether or not his comments should be referred to the police." He added: "Jeremy Clarkson clearly needs a reminder of just who he is talking about when he calls for public sector workers to be shot in front of their families. Prime Minister David Cameron, asked about Mr Clarkson's comments during an appearance on ITV's This Morning, said it was "a silly thing to say... I'm sure he didn't mean it". Speaking before Mr Cameron's interview, Jon Trickett, Labour's shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, said earlier: "No-one wants these strikes but most of [the] strikers are mums, not militants. "Clarkson should apologise. And the prime minister should make clear he disassociates himself from the distasteful remarks uttered by one of his friends." Mr Clarkson's comments sparked hundreds of entries on Twitter. Among them was author Tony Parsons, who wrote: "Jeremy Clarkson has misjudged the moment. Criticising striking public sector workers today is like sieg-heiling at Last Night of the Proms." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15977813 |

Absolutely. As ugly on the inside as he is on the outside. A complete and utter waste of life. |
