Clarksongate: The voice of reason or the unreasonable?

Britain's moral compass is spinning out of control, all thanks to the self-styled Chairman of The Bloke and Chipping Norton Rights activist, Jeremy Clarkson.

Not since Sachsgate has the BBC had to face an onslaught of complaints and outrage aimed at one of its leading 'edgy' stars. But was his crass comment that strikers should be 'executed...in front of their families' a sentiment that others in the UK might just agree with? Was Clarkson again using a verbal Howitzer to fire out a frustration that those who remained in work (and not shopping) on Wednesday really feel?
