Jeremy Clarkson should be sacked by the BBC over his "appalling" comments about killing striking public sector workers, trade union Unison has said.

The union said it was considering reporting the Top Gear presenter to the police over comments on The One Show.

Referring to striking workers, Mr Clarkson said: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."

During The One Show, Mr Clarkson also made a remark about people who threw themselves in front of trains.

Of course he's not abdicating

Advocating?

They must be getting ready to air a new series of Top Gear. Clarkson usually courts some kind of controversy prior to a new series being screened, then takes the p!ss out of those he has outraged; on the show.

It's not that big a deal is it?

I'm actually surprised by David Cameron's response - very level-headed. As for Ed Millibot, I could have written his response before he spoke.
