LONDON – No sooner had the BBC moved into damage limitation mode over Jeremy Clarkson’s diatribe against striking public service workers than the Top Gear host was at it again: this time putting people who commit suicide by jumping in front of trains in his sights.
Writing in his weekly newspaper column in the Sun, Clarkson said such “Johnny suicides” were “selfish” because of the delays they caused – as well as the impact they had on other people involved.
He compounded his unsympathetic approach by adding that their body parts should be left exposed on the tracks “for foxes and birds to eat.”
