Rejected petition Jeremy Clarkson - use of the N-word

More details

We would like the government to ask the BBC Director-General to justify the continued employment of Jeremy Clarkson following his use of the N-word?

In addition we would like the culture secretary, Sajid Javid, himself an ethnic minority, to comment on why it is acceptable for the hundreds of thousands of Black licence fee payers in this country to pay the salary of a man who feels that Black people should be abused?
