Ok, let's calm down a minute
Yes, it is rather silly for an MP to be doing this, but given the fact he is an Ipswich MP (where the prostitues were murdered)
he would have to be seen doing something about it in his professional capacity, otherwise, he's not really doing his job properly.
If he didn't do anything, he'd probably come in for just as much stick from the locals for not airing concerns from a few people in the town.
his personal belief on the issue may be completely different, but he would need to be seen actively doing something about it.

As an Ipswich resident, who knew one of the victims
I can see this for the tedious oh-so-outré gag it is. It's not offensive to me, just dull, textbook Clarkson. Of course Chris Mole had to say something, as did the local paper and the manager of the rehab clinic in town (nice bloke). They may not expect results, but then the Daily Mail hasn't jumped on it yet.
I'd like to see Clarkson sacked, but not particularly because of this, because he's generally a massive ignorant fucking cock.

the 'calling for him to be sacked' bit, yes, I totally agree
given the recent events elsewhere with brand/ross, but the premise behind him complaining in the first instance is not.
/humble opinion only

In that he saw a joke on TV and didn't find it funny?
I could understand if he specifically represented truck drivers.
edit: I'm not being argumentative. I'm just avoiding doing any work.

hehe, no worries
It's not that I don't think he found it funny.
As I said above, his personal belief in the matter may differ from the general appearance he should be seen to give on behalf of those who voted him in.
After all, he may well have come in for stick for not speaking up or saying anything. Part of it definitely
jumping on the bandwagon, but the other part is being seen to do something, irrespective of if his personal views are the same or not.
Now, get on with work. Anything exciting?
