Agreed, but FFS it like the Salem witch hunt for TV/Radio presenters right now.
Clarkson was in the firing line again today for hand gesturing to a cop, and last week after joking about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes.
Neither may be funny to certain people, but who the fuck employed them as the morality police.

Gaunt's more your Sun/Express watermark than Daily Mail I think. But he is a dick, nonetheless

Not strictly true. She requested a taxi and asked specifically not to be sent a Muslim/Indian person as a guy in a Turban would have scared her 14 year old daughter. |

Aren't turbans more of a sikh thing? Although I suppose the whole things a bit wtf so it's not really a key point.

Sorry, my mistake she said Asian person. I did actually know Sikh's wear Turbans as one of my best mates in Scotland was a Sikh. report below.
A BBC radio presenter has been replaced over allegedly racist comments made during an off-air phone conversation.
Sam Mason, who took over the BBC Radio Bristol weekday afternoon programme six weeks ago, was suspended on Friday.
She was informed by station bosses on Saturday that she would no longer be working for the BBC.
According to The Sun newspaper, Miss Mason allegedly told a Bristol taxi firm "not to send an Asian driver to pick up her daughter".
The Sun said Miss Mason, 40, told a cab operator: "A guy with a turban on is going to freak her out."
Worker 'outraged'
When her request was refused, she is alleged to have said: "You've managed it before."
The taxi worker was said to be outraged and recorded the conversation, passing a copy to The Sun.
Miss Mason is reported to have called the taxi firm off-air as she played a song on her afternoon show.
A transcript of the conversation, published in The Sun, records how she ordered a taxi to take her 14-year-old from her Clifton house to her grandparents' home.
A BBC spokesman said: "Although Sam Mason's remarks were not made on-air, her comments were completely unacceptable and, for that reason, she has been informed that she will no longer be working for the BBC with immediate effect."
Sam Mason was not immediately available for comment

I can kind of see where the lady is coming from
I had to get a taxi on my own a couple of weekends ago and the first taxi in the queue was a a man not of English descent!!
Im not going to lie I was too scared to get in his taxi on my own - There was no female driver around so a policeman directed me to a taxi driver who was well known and trusted by the police in the end

Erm, WTF? I could understand if you were concerned about getting a taxi with a male driver on your own but why was his race relevant in any way whatsoever? |

Maybe it's a personal thing. I couldn't give a monkeys if the driver was British or not, just as long as they could drive properly, but if someone doesn't feel at ease with a driver because of their nationality/race of driver, is that really wrong? So what if JFW felt uncomfortable? They can't help the way they feel. |
