Clarkson remark 'did not break rules'

'Top Gear' presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s comment that striking UK public sector workers “should be shot” did not breach broadcasting rules, Britain's TV watchdog Ofcom has ruled.

Clarkson was forced to apologise and the regulator launched an investigation after his remark, made on 'The One Show', sparked around 31,700 complaints and led to condemnation from union leaders and politicians, with Prime Minister David Cameron branding the TV star’s statement “silly”.
