DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

The BBC are at it again.
They did offer him his job back but he told them "No Thanks".

This is typical of the BBC, i wonder how much his pay off will be ??

God love him, it was an "innocent mistake" Poor man.

There are rumours that the 3 presenters from top gear are not going to renew there contracts and that another TV channel has offered them a job on a new show. That's £300 million down the drain for the BBC :LOL:

its just a term of endearment ;)

Re: DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

There is a growing group of people who feel they must be offended on behalf of everyone else no matter what.

Hope that's not true. Top Gear is one of the Beeb's most successful exports.

Re: DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

Its a rumour which i don't think would happen to be honest, However as you say it could be a disaster for the BBC. Lets face it there is no one else could do Top Gear as well as Clarkson, May and Hammond.

Re: DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

The BBC is probably the worst culprit of this. The fact they are the media too has allowed them push this kind of thinking too.

I hope Top Gear does move to another channel and that was my first thought after seeing the BBC give them a final warning recently. The appeal of the show beyond the cars is their attitude of not conforming to the politically correct brigade. Remove that and the show is considerably less appealing.

Re: DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

I have no problem with it moving and would watch Clarkson and Co on any channel they move to and boy would it be a kick in the butt for the BBC :)

There will always be Dave :D

If there was a track with an "offensive" word, why wasn't it purged long ago? Or was it left as a boobytrap?

Re: DJ David Lowe loses job over racist word
 

I think the whole stigma behind using the "N" word is a farce nowadays, Black people use it all the time, if they really found it that offensive they wouldn't use it themselves surely.

Its just another Bull**** excuse for some individuals to get unnecessarily upset about.

I can still appreciate some may find it offensive but come on FFS its just a word, how far do we let the race card get played before some common sense prevails, it's all in the context in which it's delivered not the word itself IMO.
