http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/feb/06/jeremy-clarkson-gordon-brown
and hes a liar! scottish people arent angry! i find it quite funny!
They just talked about it on Radio1
"People are calling on him to apologise"
What? Are you not allowed an opinion now!!! 
I truly hope Clarkson refuses to apologies and carries on as ever.
Brown is a lying idiot... what's the problem with saying that?!!!
Cheers,
James
I can think of much worse things to say about him
Clarkson is well out of order --- both Clarkson and Ross should get P45s
If you want to defend anybody against the political correctness brigade defend Carol Thatcher she is worth defending .

how long has it been an insult to scottish people to call them scottish
i strongly think that the bbc won't give johnathon ross or jeremy clarkson p45's as they bring in millions of pounds worth of revenue and millions of viewers to boot just to see/watch and listen to their outspoken opinion
The 'idiot' bit is fine... the rest will offend those who want to be offended!
If Carol Thatcher is in trouble ebay must be in big trouble to ..........

Problem is, now that it's been reported in the press and on radio/TV, every man and his dog will be writing/phoning in to voice their opinions
about how disgusted they are and it will escalate and get blown out of all proportion.
I'll reserve judgement until I've actually seen it but has Clarkson said something that isn't true?.............

So, if this offends Scottish people and people with disabilities, then I really feel for the idiots who haven't even had a mention!

I don't care much for Clarkson - or Brown - but I thought JC's comment was trivial and far milder than I hear down my local almost every time I visit there.
You have Jeremy C (cars), we have Don Cherry (ice hockey). The problem with some of these out-of-line blowhards is that there is always a grain of
truth in what they are saying. The issue is that it encourages people to be less tolerant, and that can't be a good thing nowadays.
Personally, I think it's hilarious that the English have had 2 Scotsmen in a row as PM. Get that wall back up!
Free speech is always a good thing, when they're not talking about YOU.

I can think of a few things to call myself- all of which
are also just telling the truth.
Does that mean I have to apologise to myself?
As far as I can see from the report, that's all Clarkson did!
Clarkson can be a bit of a twat (will he demand an apology
for that?) but what is wrong with giving ones opinion.

Someone needs to tell the boss at the beeb then, cos TG pulls in BBC2s highest viewing figures and is one of the biggest earners from exporting globally.

He's actually gone and apologised! 
Dammit! I thought Clarkson was better than that! 
Well in my opinion Clarkson was spot on in all he said about Brown. He is an unelected prime minister who has misled the country like no other has. We
are going downhill faster and faster and the only answers seem to be to restrict what people say or do. We cannot even protest now without fear of
them using the terrorisum act on us.
I suspect the only reason he apologised is that he has been lent on by someone who has pointed out that the BBC is publically funded and parliment
will find ways to get him out.
We fought wars to defend free speech, but it appears it is only free if you say what people in power want to hear
So this is what this country has come to. He didn't imply that Brown was an idiot because he only had one eye (so that's the disabled
outcry over with) and he didn't say he was an idiot because he was Scottish.
So basically he's apparently in the wrong for stating his opinion that Brown is an idiot!!
So expect to hear that they've used anti terror laws to sends old JC off to Guantanamo for some torture.
It's sad that he's apologised I'd of expected him to use the supposed uproar to come out with something even better.
He's only apologised for the "one-eyed" bit though.
Not the Idiot bit
i agree with the one eyed bit. i think it sums up his closed minded view on the country and where its going. i dont think it was physical appearence comment... or was it?
get a grip..clarkson for pm i say
Clarksons apology was apparently through some BBC aide or summat wasn't it? That doesn't seem Clarkson style, to apologise through someone else. I reckon the BBC shat theirselves after the Jonathon Ross/unfunny Brand fella affair and apologised on his behalf then they'll have words at another time.

Sadly since Grieg Dyke was pushed out by the Blairites all hope of return to anything like quality broadcasting is gone.

And he is an idiot
The first two are just factual information, the third is an observation of many
I thought he had two eyes... he's just blind in one of them!
PS - I don't know of a single Scot who's offended!
Bugger, I thought Gordon Ramsay was PM now I really have to watch more telly.
hows being called a golliwog an insult? theyre the happiest fellows around!!
scots arent insulted for being called scottish, its having to admit that gordon browns one of ours thats insulting
