Recently a "witch hunt" has been launched against the television presenter Jeremy Clarkson. Out-takes of his shows that have never been shown to the public have been released, creating animosity towards this man. An episode of Top Gear filmed in Burma where he reportedly was racist in the use of the term "slope," was questioned only by members of that country. Most people were unaware of the double meaning until it was raised as an issue. It seems now that anything Jeremy says will be under scrutiny; whether in his private life or in the course of his work. It is unfair that this is happening and he has as much right to voice his opinions as any other citizen of this country. Yes, he may be controversial, but you don't have to watch his programmes or read his articles! Please support us in supporting him, and stop the BBC from dismissing him.

The BBC clearly underestimated how many people are fed up with their censorship machine. This momentum proves that the public is sick of the elites trying to dictate what we can and cannot watch. We are not backing down until they stop this pathetic campaign against him.

He has his right to opinions and didn't promote hatred by stating his thought on an embarassment of an American, speaking as one, especially as wad a reference to Game of Throwns treatment of the queen

Suspended for being controversial? Next thing you will say is he is self centered and egotistical! The thing about it is, he's a our Magnificent Bastard and I really don't care if he occasionally steps over a imaginary line. Or offends liberal ideological sensibility's. Enough is enough reinstate Clarkson already!

Jeremy, James & Richard are now part of the American hearbeat and we salute them for expressing their opinions. The pathetic BBC can only dream of having the respect that Top Gear enjoys around the world. BBC is more interested in political correctness than producing great shows that we enjoy watching. PATHETIC TWITS !!

Jeremy Clarkson not only made an entertaining farming snow in Clarkson's Farm, but he also highlighted the struggles of every day farmers and ranchers. I live in the US but it is a struggle for farmers and ranchers on both side of the Atlantic. Jeremy also shows he truly is a decent person that does care. When he found out the true financially struggle on nearby farmers, he turned his restaurant into a co-op to help them the council on the Amazon show needs to get off their high horse. It is clear that yes Clarkson is wealthy he does have a farm that does need to produce, and I was appalled that the council because an obvious bias agenda against Jeremy would make decision that could have financial ramifications in the area destroy life of area farmers. In the US we have free speach laws that are clearly not in the UK. Some people love Jeremy Clarkson while others hate him. It is clear the media drives a narrative of hate towards Jeremy Clarkson and gives a platform for those who do hate the man to have the loudest voice, and sadly because of the lack of free speach laws in the UK allows for people with a hateful agenda to sue Jeremy knowing he is wealthy for their own greedy self interest with no sincerety.
