| Jeremy Clarkson during the shoot when he began singing the rhyme |
The
£1million a year Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson is seen, in an unseen footage which was later edited out of the show, swinging his finger between two cars,
while reciting a racist version of a children’s counting rhyme.
Clarkson can be heard chanting: “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a
nigger by his toe, when he
squeals, let him go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe”.
A lawyer Lawrence Davies
blasted:
“Clarkson has to be sacked, no matter how much money he makes
for the BBC. Use of that word is not acceptable.”
Clarkson was trying to compare two cars after he had cruised them separately around the Top Gear race track and while delivering a
review of how they performed, he said:
“Both cost the same,
they have the same bodies and the same interiors with the same
equipment. They are even built by the same people in the same factory.
You might imagine then that it’s quite hard to chose between them, but
actually, it isn’t. Watch, because this is how you do it.”
The presenter rolled up his sleeves and
then recited the rhyme and muttered the n-word before pointing at one of the two cars and shrugging.
But in the version aired by
the BBC in February 2013, the offensive term was not used. Clarkson
recited the rhyme, but this time used the word “teacher”.
HBC: He is too matured to for such stupid jokes.
