If people are going to be angry about the use of "slope" shouldn't they be getting mad at the BBC for airing it more than Clarkson for saying it? Quote:

I'm sure most of us have and you yourself have as well lol | He has been having a open affair with Phillipa Sage for the last 3 years and only living at home on the weekends. Phillipa Sage also works for top Gear. His wife after 3 years is now seeing another man. Looks like they are getting a divorce. His personal life has crossed over to his professional life.

(This is an honest question, as I only really watch top gear, and not much else of the thousand things he does).
It's not like he is becoming Charlie Sheen. I don't see how him Saying the N word (or alledgedly mumbling it), has anything to do with him fucking someone besides his wife?

He had an affair with Elaine Bedell who lead the team responsible for top gear and other shows. She does not work for the BBC anymore. Now he is having an affair with Top gear events organizer Phillipa Sage. Who travels with Top hear when they do events around the world.
Also look at this: BBC sacks DJ for playing 'The Sun Has Got His Hat On'... because he accidentally played original version with the 'N' word

| certainly the cases are different but the mindset of the fans aren't as they've been defending him not only through this arguably minor incident but all of them
this latest incident on its own could be forgiven by most, i agree, but on top of the past issues? come on

Boooooo. People are just overly sensitive and the British media tends to blow everything out of proportion just for sensationalism. Seriously, it's like Fox News over there.
I didn't even know that the N-word was part of that rhyme but...even if he said it, the context wasn't offensive to anyone not specifically looking for an excuse to be offended.

I just can't imagine Top Gear without Jeremy, if he is fired I probably won't watch, it won't be the same.

That's personal life shit, not something the public really needs to know about... unless you're an avid reader of The Star.
The quote, "I'm not racist; I simply hate everyone equally" works well for Jeremy. He's not going on air saying he only hates gays or blacks or Asians or whatever... he insults literally everyone "In the world." He even makes tons of comments against Britons and American, and most of us just laugh at those ones. It's a little hypocritical to say that he needs to go for comments G, H and I, when we're willing to overlook comments A, B and C.

Having an affair is a problem when it's with people you work for or work for you.

He is also going to get hosed in the divorce since his wife is also his manager.

She could get more money for that. Now if he gets fired from Top Gear he will lose a lot of money and you think his GF will keep working at top gear? Guess he will have to start paying for her too.

Wow, didn't know about his family background. Seems like all his enemies are digging up everything and anything to basically get him canned from the BBC.

This is like election time when opposing parties dig up as much dirt as they can on their opponents, no matter how old or irrelevant. I despise it because it generally has no bearing on anything.

He sold a doll linked to blackface minstrel days so it's hard to believe he isn't somewhat racist.
