Not in any way, itmentions this:
He then mocked the country’s sanitary conditions by driving around slums in a Jaguar fitted with a toilet, joking: “This is perfect for India because everyone who comes here gets the trots.”
He is saying people who goes there, gets them, how is that racist?
Really is a joke >:(

Dunno why every one hangs on what Clarkson says,not my favorite person never has been so I personally dont give a toss what he's got to say and if he knew me it would be vice versa! ???

I don't rate his reviews on cars. If you want a decent review go online and read about them (don't say 5th Gear cos that's rubbish lol)
I also think some of the ideas he comes up with in his books are crazy.
But he is very funny and he appeals to our silly side. Well he's meant to anyway ;)

Having been to Karachi many many years ago, I can confirm that you're likely going to get the squits!!! The whole ship did. (India - Pakistan ...... virtually the same place as it it was all one 'happy' country till GB stuck their 2 penn'orth in in 1947)

I can't find an actual review of the Omega but he did compare the Scorpio to it and said the Omega was better.
He's also used omegas in the show e.g. when they had that remote control car race and when the ozzies came over. that australian presenter said it looked like a photocopier salesman's car. :-X

Having read some of the Mirror article from the link in the first post,I think its utterly contemptible that they have somehow managed to mention the murder of the Indian student in Manchester over Christmas and imply that the programme was even more offensive because of that. Despicable. >:(
-
the term bandwagon springs to mind ???

You dont have to go India to get the trots, just check in to an NHS hospital I understand they are doing a special offer on Norovirus this week!! mmm yum yum ::) :y

The trouble with this country is that we are too tolerant of the retarded do-gooder, nothing-better-to-do, PC brigade.
"Freedon of Speech" has come to mean you have to watch your words, and then let these retards (the do-gooders) walk all over Joe Public.
Racism, sexism and homophobea should be stamped out. That I do agree with. But these useless, pointless, breakless retards do nothing for the cause, just get everyone's backs up, just because they like the sound of their own retarded voices. That ugly bitch from Liberty being prime candidate.
Having seen the programme in question, and taken it all in context, there is no racism in it - unless "Britain" v "India" S6 cricket match is divisive.
Retards.

Gotta be one of your favourite words TB ;D ;D ;D

I was going to have a resolution not to use that word again. But, alas, the world is full of them, so its a pointless resolution.

TB won't be long before the do gooders have banned the word on the grounds that it is offensive to backward people or in do gooder speak, people with learning difficulties. ;D ;D ;D

Its not the poor people that the do-gooders are claiming they are trying to protect. Its the do-gooders who are dithering retards.
Line 'em up, shoot the lot of them. breakless useless do-no-gooder retards.

IMO i do find clarkson funny most of the time and i enjoy top gear as a programme etc my only ever groan is the way they destroy some of the cars especially the classics ok 7k or 10k x3 for props may not be alot of money to the good old BBC. The india trip featured 3 classic cars in very good condition that just got mullered. Fair enough most of the time a lot of the cars are shite but now and again they wreck some nice motors

Slightly off topic, I feel sorry for many of the current crop of kids who are diagnosed with labels for bone idleness and lack of discipline. We have a couple of teenagers in the family classed with ADHT or whatever its called. Nought wrong with them, good kids really, but means they are not punished for not going to school etc. Which then becomes a downward spiral, that will continue throughout life, just because some useless retarded breakwit retard had to put a label on it, rather than give them a slap.
These breakless do-gooders "don't smack your children when they play up" are rather up the lives of those said kids. Because they are blinkered idiots.

Inresting, then why post given such a view...? Seem to give some sort of toss somewhere along the line...
I find it all very amusing tbh. From start to finish, a tongue in cheek remark and it's in the papers. Although for once, knowing people who have visited India and read similar about visiting India, top gear appears to be entirely factual for once.
-
A BBC spokeswoman confirmed that they have already received eight complaints accusing the show of racism.
Well that's not alot of retards out of the millions of people who watch the show, too thick to find the off button ;D ;D
It must be no news week. ;D

Clarkson was actually quoted in saying that the Omega was one of the best cars he had ever been chauffered around in

what about the indian murdered in manchester
can you imagine the old bill making this statement the next time a white kid is killed by ethnics
Ch Supt Kevin Mulligan, divisional commander for Salford, said: "We have not
established a clear motive for the senseless murder of Anuj and there is no
definitive evidence pointing to it being racially-motivated.
"However, we are treating this as a hate crime based on the growing
perceptions within the community it was motivated by hate.
so, although there is no proof of it being racially motivated, they will still treat it as such because the locals demand it.

For what its worth, we had three fabulous weeks in Rajasthan last year. To keep costs down we organised it all ourselves, not on a tour, we stayed both in nice hotels and some Havelis. We travelled on local trains, ate meals cooked by train attendants, and met some absolutely delightful, helpful Indian people who sometimes shared their food with us. Neither of us suffered with the trots at all, obviously we took sensible precautions. In the 20 years I flew in and out of India and Pakistan for work, I had only one really bad case of food poisoning, which was tracked down to a meal on the plane! I love India. 8) :):y
