  I think that the amount of defence given to Clarkson's bad "jest" is in proportion to the amount the defender agrees with the sentiment behind the remark. More worrying should be the fact that we are now in a time where the most moronic and offensive statements are forgiven on the basis that the person responsible is a "straight-shooter". I personally think that the puerile racism and bigotry presented as "straight-talking" on Top Gear, and other programmes, would be discouraged in a primary school playground.
  
  That said, I have never lost any sleep over the number of times I have read or heard that local councillors should all be hung.
