An employee of a publicly owned business too!

That's why they want him out; they see him as a traitor to their cause. Of course they know he was joking, but they hate him anyway.

Everyone (not here) seems to have got rather excited about Clarkson. He's just the counter of a Class War poster saying, 'Eat the Rich' or 'Hang bankers'. But I guess it's illuminating to see someone on the right showing that class conflict is as much their field of battle as it is the left's.
