3. Complaints over Clarkson strike comments reach 21,000

Edited on Fri Dec-02-11 06:07 AM by dipsydoodle

The BBC has received more than 21,000 complaints over Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's remarks that striking public sector workers should be shot.

He was censured with his comments on The One Show and Unison called for him to be sacked. He later apologised.

Unison said it welcomed the apology and invited Clarkson to spend a day with a healthcare assistant.

BBC Audience Services said the Corporation had received 21,335 complaints as of 09:30 GMT.

Seems to have beaten Ross and Brand both of whom went on to earn even more.
