Jeremy Clarkson uses the c-word about Gordon Brown

I've always said Clarkson is a very sound fellow.
 
THE BBC has been plunged into a new controversy after Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson used the most offensive swear word in the English language to describe British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in front of a studio audience.
 
Clarkson described Mr Brown as "a c--t" during the show's recording on Wednesday night.
 
Although some in the audience reportedly burst out laughing at his comments, BBC2 controller Janice Hadlow later gave Clarkson a "dressing down" in front of crew, the Daily Mail reports.
He is also understood to have made similarly offensive remarks about Mr Brown to an audience during the show's filming earlier this month.

Yep, whatever happened (is happening to?) free speech?

Clarkson over-stepped a mark I think, but I reckon I still prefer that to the mealy-mouthed and politically correct pieties we're expected to engage in these days.
