BBC clears Clarkson over use of ‘pikey’ sign on show
The presenter, whose future is in doubt following a “fracas” with a producer on the show, put up a placard with the words ‘Pikey’s Peak’ on the BBC2 series in February last year.
Viewers complained that the sign was “grossly offensive and racist” to the “gypsy Traveller community”, whose children are subjected to the word as a term of abuse in schools.
