Quote by casualcolthe most recent appointment to the higher echelons of the ECB, the unelected leader of the Italian administration and the recently (unelected) leader of the Greek administration all have one thing in common (apart from the fact they were unelected which is worrying enough) - they are all ex employees of Goldman Sachs. You do the maths.

I think it was Stewart Lee who said that the worst part of ironic comedy is that half of the people listening to you agree.
Quote by kuriousoranjI'm not interested in what the pricks said. Seen enough of his frankly quite dangerous bullshit on cyclists.
dangerous bullshit???what does that mean??
Because unlike you, a lot of the people who watch, read and listen to Clarkson take what he says seriously. They don't have the mental capacity to understand "comedy".

what happened on this thread, which seems to have gone unnoticed, was that nobody was particularly bothered by what Clarkson said. The thread evolved when there was a few ill informed and stupid comments made about the public sector workers and they were picked up on. There hasn't been a sense of humour by-pass regarding his comments on this thread!
are you for real? Middle and lower paid civil servants / public sector workers had no hand, act or part to play in this financial meltdown and should not have to apologise for having a fucking job. This mess was caused by incompetent and corrupt politicians, greedy banks and bankers and casino, fly by night money men - the type who bet on economies/currencies failing and are in a position to influence same. I find your comment completely fucking ignorant.
you re right it wasnt their fault, but nor was it the fault of the average man on the street.
You're missing the point. A worker is a worker, be they private or public sector and I find it saddening to see the two groups (deliberately) pitted against each other in what has become a struggle. To say, '. Public sector workers are going to have to realise, that the days of them being unaffected by recessions and things such as the banking crisis are over, and we re all going to have to pay in one way or another.' - what? you think they already haven't? no public workers have had their wages slashed? or no public workers are stuck in negative equity as a result of being sold a £300,000 house that's now worth half that? no public workers have had unjust and barely legal pension levies imposed on them (Ireland, at least)? This is the ordinary man's struggle - right and left, public and private. And anyone who doesn't think so, let me leave you with this worrying fact - the most recent appointment to the higher echelons of the ECB, the unelected leader of the Italian administration and the recently (unelected) leader of the Greek administration all have one thing in common (apart from the fact they were unelected which is worrying enough) - they are all ex employees of Goldman Sachs. You do the maths.
Oh fuck it - while I'm at it. In Ireland, three weeks ago, there was a report that 90,000 (that's not a typo btw) kids go without a substantial meal everyday. But nevermind, eh? Banks have to bailed out, markets appeased and faceless, morally bankrupt moneymen rewarded. Let's not worry about the kids, eh? And shur we can always lay the blame at the feet of lower paid clerical government workers.
And to hear someone from Sheffield, of all places, whinge about 'boring Union leaders', well I fucking despair. The job is not glamouress and their brief is to fight for and protect their members.
Some people need a reality check and to start looking for the real crooks behind this fucking mess. Here's a clue - start at the top, not an officer worker earning 20k a year stuck in negative equity.
Excellent post I find it amazing that people still need this spelling out to them
Eye's right, skin back tight, bollocks to the front, we're the boy's who make more noise when we're on the cunt, we're the riders of the night, and we'd rather fuck than fight, we're the riders of the Clock end Highbury
Can take or leave top gear but think clarkson can be reasonably amusing sometimes. Had to turn channel 4 off last night though as i didn't want to see a programme about Romanians who live here followed by one called "immigration street",Blood boiling stuff.
