I'm totally calm dear, but it's annoying that some folk perpetuate completely untrue stories about Clarkson, and your post typifies that. Others would look at your comment, see that it fits in with their biased view of him, then accept it as 'fact' then use it as a stick to beat him with, "I can't believe that JC ranted at the bloke for a whole hour".
The fact that ranting at someone for half an hour is bang out of order should be noted at this stage, just in case anyone thinks I'm condoning that!
Maybe he thinks parliamentary privilege extends to Question Time.
It was Lucy Powell. It was quite amusing when Ian Hislop described how JC threw a brio at him and hit him in the face drawing blood during filming of HIGNFY
The panel were unanimous that he should go.,

Judge, jury and executioner?
Do we not investigate, hear arguments, look at evidence and try to find out the truth anymore?
But my point is that this is how the lies or at least the mistruths get perpetuated. Someone reads that he ranted for an hour, ergo it becomes 'fact'. Same as someone reads that he's homophobic so continues that mistruth, and when you actually look at the basis of the claim, it's because he called a car 'gay' and make a quip about George Michael.

The Top Gear presenter this morning announced that he was calling his new small black dog, Didier Dogba, after the former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba.
Cue an onslaught of comments accusing Clarkson of racism, proving that his appetite to stir controversy really knows no bounds.

That is not a country I want to live in.
If it looks like an a*** , smells like an a***, and sounds like an a***, then it's a fair bet it is indeed and a***.
If he is on a final warning then irrespective of the degree of violence , he has admitted to bad behaviour , that is not in dispute, so he needs to go and the BBC need to be seen to treat ALL their employees decently , fairly and transparently.

The panel were scared to not be seen as right-on and so subject to vilification by supporting Clarkson or just by not being sufficiently outraged.

I suppose you have never misread anything? Ever.
Orwell right again - Distract the proles with cheap pop songs and soap operas and they won't have the inclination to question authority.
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
If it is true, they need to provide evidence of discrimination based on sex or race.

Or maybe which petitions get the most media coverage...
The 'slope' comment could be what is being referred to, or the eeny meeny incident?

Neither of those are discriminatory. And both are ridiculous.
The former I should think. The latter was just a mumble that wasn't even broadcast IIRC.
Of course I have. Once.

Apparently "slope" is an ethnic slur. The other was ridiculous, I agree.
So you are accusing me of lying? Nice.
Or the naming of his black dog, 'Didier Dogba'. If someone wants to be offended, you'd be hard pressed to stop them, even if in reality there is nothing actually offensive in the first place.

I didn't say they were discrimination or sensible.
An ill-advised pun, granted. But hardly discrimination or persecution against Asian people.
It is just a word, and was not directed at anyone.
*sigh*
Well, are you accusing me of lying?
So what if he named his dog after a white footballer and said "I would never name my dog after a black man" would that be better or worse?
Again, it is a pun.
Now, if, for example, he had refused to interview Will Smith because he is black... we might have something to talk about.

It wasn't directed at him and he was probably in on the joke anyway.
Lets get rid of the court system while we are at it.
You have to be kidding me.....

It is?
So what do people ski down these days?
