Taoiseach Leo Varadkar quietly told Tusk that the British press would give him “terrible trouble” for his words and as the papers came out today we saw if that prediction came true.
Tusk was certainly attacked by some of the papers, while others ignored it. Surprisingly, The Mail, The Sun and the Daily Express were among the papers that did not feature Tusk.
Here’s a taster of some of the front pages where he did.
Daily Telegraph
The Telegraph left out some crucial context for Tusk’s words and went big on it.

I hope so…… years ago when he took the first top gear show to ireland he said to the live irish audience…… ‘sorry about not coming here sooner to do a show….. we are just getting around to countries we once owned’ ……. what a w-nker…..
I remember he was here for a Top Gear thing in the RDS and someone asked him about our new motorway network, and he said something like “oh yeah they were built with British money” and I just thought what a prhick.
@ John….FYI
Alan Davidson writes however that curry comes from the Tamil word kari, or spiced sauce, which was originally a thin, soup-like, spiced dressing served in southern India, amongst many other stew-like dressings for meat and vegetables.Oct 11, 2013
BBC Food – Curry: Where did it come from?
I bet oisin wasnt the biggest guy on the planet, bullies are always cowards.
I hope clarkson bumps into someone his own size from Ireland very soon that feeds him plenty of knuckle sandwiches to satisfy his bloated gut , the foppish reprobate.
Yeah I’m sure he’ll get a payout from this , but he might want to improve his organisational skills , I think Clarkeson actually had a point – who was responsible for it being 930 and the presenters hadn’t got hot food , this isn’t some local media Mickey Mouse company this is a multi million euro program sold to over 150 countries , expecting proper catering after a day filing isn’t being primary Donna and somebody wasn’t doing their job properly , I don’t agree with how he took it out but a but of hangry is understandable under the circumstances;)
Top Gear is a quintessential English show, he was patriotic, nothing wrong with that if you’re English, perhaps on the good side we should be more patriotic and support Irish made products and brag about Ireland’s accomplishments as he did with Britain’s accomplishments. Nothing wrong on being a proud citizen while keeping an open mind.
But he is also brilliant. But you can’t say that and hit a guy. Sadly having read that he does have to go. They should come to a compromise and finish out this series.
But as awful a thing to say his daughter dates a lad from Dublin.
“he was patriotic, nothing wrong with that if you’re English, perhaps on the good side we should be more patriotic and support Irish made products and brag about Ireland’s accomplishments as he did with Britain’s accomplishments.”
Jingoism is not a virtue and in a globalised economy it just makes you look like quaint, backward, irrational, narrow-minded, insular and parochial.
@Liam, where exactly were you standing when you heard him say those words?
The problem with gutter press papers is that they will make as many rumours as possible to sell amongst the naive.
This guy’s ego is incredible. As entertaining as he is nobody has the right to attack another human. Not even a hint of an apology. I hope that the police will be called and bring Clarkson a sense of reality. He is a thug
Here is your opportunity RTE to snatch him and the Top Gear franchise up.. Show might not have as big a budget though.. “On tonight’s top gear, I review the car tax system, Richard replaces a tyre and James visits an NCT centre”
Clarkson should act more like an adult that a child, insulting and hitting that man was not necessary, the man who was his was always going to be on the back foot because of the popularity of the show and Clarksons celebrity status,what he did ammounts to bullying.
You.may be right, but the only one out of all of those involved in this speaking publically is Clarkson, and he is not saying very much to clear the air so to speak.
Maybe he doesn’t think the air needs to be clear , maybe he thinks that the facilities and poor production needed to be called out , maybe he did over react but we don’t know this didn’t stem from a longer underlying problem , we don’t know he hadn’t complained before , we don’t know there wasn’t previous tensions bubbling under , people are quick to judge because he’s the easily portrayed big ogre , but maybe he just reached the end when he found himself in Yorkshire in some crappy hotel after a long day filming unable to order hot food and thought who is accountable and responsible for this shambles I’m gonna punch them – a but of hangry that went too far but I kinda think he might of had a point actually
As much as I like the program and him on it I have no time for this “diva” behavior… He’s no different to anyone else in a so called 9-5 job and if we did that We’d be called to HR and likely fired
Went to see Top Gear Live in Dublin a few years ago James May took a fit of coughing and had to walk off set just before the presenters were to walk into the audience and take questions from the crowd it seemed real enough until I heard he did the same thing the next eve. I never thought much of them after that
The collective sense of entitlement of those men is gargantuan. And they’re so pleased with themselves, in this public schoolboy way. That’s an unpleasant story, just shows his respect for his fans. Blech.
All I ever sense when I see, hear or read Clarkson is an arrogant, bullying, sneering racist with an ego to match. Sadly it will be he who benefits most from this handbag attack.
His alleged ‘racism’ is obviously not affecting his popularity among the shows 350 million fans of pretty much every race you can think of.
The only people who think of Clarkson as a racist are latte sipping guardian reading, p.c. metro liberals.
That’s a pile of $hite, Scipio. As I said, I’d take this allegation from the rag known as “The Mirror” with a grain of salt but it really wouldn’t surprise me if it emerged that it was true. The man’s a knob, an entertaining knob to some people, but a colossal knob all the same.
Its not a pile of $hite it’s a fact. Clarkson might rub some people up the wrong way but painting him as a racist is with no evidence a stretch to say the least.
P.C. bigots have been out to take him down for years now but the show he created is incredibly popular among all races.
What’s your problem? How many times do I have to say that I’d take the report with a grain of salt? At the same time, I wouldn’t be shocked if it was true. Obviously I have no evidence, nor would I care to produce some if I had, that proves that Jeremy Clarkson is a racist. No more than you have any to prove he is. Claiming that because Top Gear is enjoyed worldwide by many different races means that Clarkson is not a racist is thin, really thin.
Not as thin as claiming he’s a racist without citing any evidence to back up that claim My original comment was in response to ‘Tellingitasitis’, you were the one who decided to interject. The problem is on your end.
Yeah, I interjected, primarily because you’re up and down this thread defending him. Where did I claim he was racist? I just said I wouldn’t be surprised if he did say it.
‘Insults’ the nations in a joking fashion and then fawns over them in admiring tones by the end of every special.
Top Gear specials such as the Vietnam one have done more for the tourism industry of a lot of countries then any p.r. campaign and I reckon you’ve never watched an episode in your life. You’ve just read hatchet job articles that confirm your own delusions.
The issue should have been settled in adult fashion with an apology from Clarkson and without anybody running to teacher. Reminds me of many’ s the spat from school days.
On whether Clarkson is a racist. – If this was a once off incident, we could give him the benefit of the doubt.
But it is not. He has a constant and ongoing history of racist & offensive remarks.
But physically assaulting someone as well. He has crossed the line this time.
Shane, save your sympathy – the others were were also on the lengthy drinking binge, which caused the helicopter and pilot to be delayed for 2 hours while they drank themselves stupid. Did they attempt to curb the moron’s loutish behaviour. According to others present in the hotel Clarkson’s foul-mouthed rant continued for some time.
It’s hard to see Hammond and May ploughing on with out him. It’s because he is a knob that the three if them work really well. You really never want him to win over the other two.
Have to laugh at all the people going mad now that he is alleged to have made an anti Irish comment. Previously all the commenters were happy to excuse all his other bigoted remarks but now he’s gone too far…
The Guru, Spot on! When The Journal.ie featured the original article of Clarkson’s escapade I was a bit of a lone voice in the desert. I really don’t care how many million people watch Top Gear, or how many followers Clarkson has on Twitter. He is a bully and a thug if he strikes some-one – a co-worker. It is depressing that he is what our society values. I would like to think that even if I had formerly been a fan, I would now reassess my position and certainly not offer my allegiance to a moron who is not worthy of it.
Damn right … just watch the hypocrites come out of the wood work. Many were prepared to excuse assaulting a co-worker – but how dare he call him an Irish c***
The big question is why a complaint hasn’t been made to the police. A man was allegedly assaulted in a public place by a known racist, but all we’ve had is headline after headline and rumours of a bidding war…
Missing the point guys,” typical what aboutery paddys” he can paddy bash as much as he likes at the guy for not doing his job.But once he lays his hands on him,in this case bursts his lip open,all bets are off,he gets fired.
If that report, which frankly, given the source, I’d be inclined to take with a grain of salt, is true then I’m delighted he’s been called on his BS and will get the heave-ho. Whether he said that or not, the fact remains that he hit a co-worker. That’s completely unacceptable in any work environment; you’d lose your job instantly in any position I can think of. I don’t see why it should be any different for Clarkson; just because he has 700K followers on social media willing to turn a blind eye to this shouldn’t let him off the hook. The alleged racism should seal his fate though if it’s true. What a condescending asshat.
Ive seen other reports that say Clarkson did NOT punch the producer, but did swear profusely and throw a major hissy fit. This story may not be true either, the point is the facts are not clear in this story
You’re right, but he is still popular, he sells. He can take his arse and make his own tv show in another channel and take down Top Gear easily, he might even call his pals James and Richard and leave the BBC with nothing making the same Top Gear with a different name, even taking the stig and calling him something else.
I’d happily sign the petition to keep him off telly. Don’t watch the programme as I think he’s pompous & egotistical, now I can add bully to the list !!
If you don’t watch his show why would you care if he’s on TV or not? Why would you try and remove him from a show others enjoy and you don’t watch anyway?
Fair point @rochelle, but where else is it acceptable to punch someone at work & have people sign a petition to support you ? Next we’ll be asking for re-runs of jimm’ll fix it because people enjoyed it.
Ruth Colbert – No sooner said than done – Here is the link to counter the petition. If you want to make your voice heard, sign up. There may be 700,000 people who condone his violence, but I imagine there are many more who condemn it.
Clackson has a huge contemp for political correctness. He has a flair for making fun of other nationalities and insulting them. He called the Americans fat and brash,said good riddance to the Scots on Indy (and take your bagpipes)called the Italians “hysterical” and the German’s authoritians, the comment over the German sat navigation “only pointing to Poland” was offensive and got the bbc phones jammed It’s not just Ireland he insults, it’s all Nationalities. It time he put a sock in his mouth,for good.
And every single joke was funny, I have got Polish friends they all laughed at the Sat nav comment, the same with the American jokes, etc. The BBC phone wasn’t jammed by offended Polish, Germans or Americans, it was jammed by idiotic tree huggers wannabes and fat old people all British which had nothing else to do than speak on behalf of the people he made fun of.
Baffled. Just baffled. Watched it a couple if times and it was awful. Three grown men desperately trying to be funny, some celeb I had never heard of driving a car round a track and getting on a list, an audience of morons who cheered every utterance, and people actually look forward to this every week. Hosted by a total idiot and a couple of pipsqueeks.
Dreadful stuff.
Their trip to southern USA was embarrassingly ridiculous, writing liberal grafitti on their cars and bringing back a large steer as “roadkill” showed that this was no longer a car program, the nonsense at the end where they were being sued because the car they gave away to a couple didn’t match the car they promised was pure bulls**t.
You must be a lentil munching, tree hugging, lycra clad Tour de France bore if you don’t find Top Gear entertaining.
That’s all it is, entertainment.
It’s not aimed at hardcore petrolheads.
It has definitely “jumped the shark” but it is still good for a chuckle.
Wow…..top gear is s***e and I don’t need to eat lentils or hug trees to differentiate between comedy and three insufferable f**ks reading nonsense scripts.
I agree with his own assessment – he is a dinosaur. The days of celebrities getting away with abusing “ordinary people” are over. Anyone wondering how people in power get away with all forms of abuse need look no further than the comments and petitions supporting this guy. Look hard at yourselves.
that is the question that needs answering – if Clarkson did hit the producer (not all reports agree on this) why is there no police involvement? Why was the whole thing reported to the BBC management by Clarkson himself?
Something not right here…..
Anyone else remember when top gear was about cars, their safety ratings, fuel consumption and value for money and not some terribly scripted “comedy” show?
Yes dermot i do, it was the most boring thing i’ve ever seen on telly. Noel edmonds, esther rantzen , kate humble etc , non car people just being stuck on top gear just to keep them busy, because the bbc had nothing else for them at that particular time. It made for dreary television. It had quentin willson on it too, but he always comes across as a typical second hand car salesman with a posh accent.
Good riddance to Clarkson, he is a typical rugger bugger snobby old dinosaur and just like the real creatures it’s time his like on TV was extinct too.
guys like jeremy clarkson never learn they just step over next person in 3 months time everyone will be back loving him again like spare eejits and he will still be laughing at us lazy irish *unts who built most of London in 70′s and 80′s hanging off slings welding their sh*t iron girders and pouring even shi**er cheap concrete.The BBC as whole never had any respect for irish so dont think this will be last comment by bbc super sp*face like JC.Hes not dinosaur hes just mortal man and like rest of us he will have worms coming through his eardrums like us all one day 6 feet below terra firma .Oh ya England btw we built London Underground too and our fathers and mothers died there too in sh*t conditions and fought in british army in front lines in every war since occupation .Irish and our friends in Africa and East were purposely put on front lines in any ware to die needless deaths for British but all this seems to be very conveniently forgotten by aristocratic shi*s like JC and all rest of them line em up theres few over there still with really bad attitude to anyone outside of British .But hey whos counting bullets or bodies not I your honour :)
Good bye and good riddance. Nothing is lost but a lot has been gained with his removal from the airwaves. Arrogant, ignorant, privileged t*at. His anti EU and anti German rants will not be missed.
To quote Billy connolly: It’s in the sun so it must be true. The hotel owner said it was a scuffle. Nothing more. So let’s see what the investigation finds before we jump to conclusions.
Clarkson Reminds me of the Voice of London character in that film V for Vendetta ” there will be no negotiation, when I come in tomorrow the Paddy will be gone “
I was a big fan of TG and liked Clarkson but he truly is a bigoted ass, right up there with Enoch Powell.
To bring Oisins nationality into an argument shows just how ignorant an oaf he is. Bye bye Clarkson.
How quick we are to condemn the English, but what about our own tossers? Eamonn Dunphy has done worse than punch a production assistant and more frequently than Clarkson, but not a chance he will ever lose his job. Lets hold up foreigners to the same rules as we apply to our own delinquent entertainers.
And sometimes political correctness is not a good thing. Like when they kill all the swear words out of records with blanks. Like it’s ever going to make a difference.
Sometimes it is necessary, certain public figures take to the public arena to voice their racist thoughts.The public do not pay their licence to listen to the likes of him.
There’s a lot of blathering, trolling and vitriol over the comments of an Englishman and and a British TV program which is paid for by British licence payers. Apart from the allegedly lazy Irish producer, what is the connection with Ireland and the wonderfully independent Irish viewpoint? Let the Britain sort him out, if indeed he does need sorting. There is more to this than meets the eye.
God its sad when a best selling program is 3 really dorky, ugly badly dressed thickos talking about cars. While behaving like dysfunctional teenagers on cider.
I’ve always been a huge TG supporter (my work appeared on it back in the late ’90′s) but in recent years stuff happening off – screen has become more newsworthy than that on screen … and that says something. Running one of the biggest shows in the World is probably not the dream that folk often think it is … as in, what do you do next to keep it on top of the ratings? It’s run it’s course as far as I can see … and that’s sad … but it’s life. These actions to my mind are the actions of someone who knows this and has already given up. There’s a difference between an inappropriate remark or two and this, which is ugly: “Lazy Irish c***’? I wonder how the other Irishman – a mainstay of the programme for years – Producer Pat Doyle feels about it? TG should go now, and on something of a high overall, rather than dying a slow death … or it should be reinvented. After all, it’s been around since circa 1970.
As a avid fan of the show & clarksons for his witty banter over the years I have to say for saying what he did he’s a tosser & he might be right saying he’s a dinosaur as the world of racism & pigeonholing people with smarmy comments should really be behind us all at this stage! If he is thinking of leaving don’t think to long & don’t let the door hit you on the way out as you are not GOD !
Irish & proud
Let’s be honest here it’s noting to do with the guy being irish. All of us who have been in a situation like this when your fired up you will call anyone anything to try and get your point across. So stop the bollix talk. Clarkson is entertaining no matter what you say. The bbc and just as bad as rte.
I think he says things because thats how his character is, hes not trying to be offensive, if you look at any of the guests he interviewed they have plenty of tongue in cheek comments! Nothing personal!
While i dont agree with a lot of Clarksons comments over the years, or how he treated this irish co-worker, i think a lot of people are conflating his on screen persona with his real self. Remember, its all a bit of an act. Top Gear audience has a certain demographic profile, and when he puts on the top gear host persona he has to play to that. I bet you any money, Clarkson outside of the Top Gear atmosphere is probably a europhile, loves french wine, admires German cars etc. Far more so than most of the audience of the show.
Don’t understand where the problem is here. In the good old days the guy would have just chinned him and that would be end of it. If someone hits you then hit em back ffs.
Saul, not all Polish laughed. I know friends who had families list in the concentration camp. They never laughed. Nothing wronged with having the craic among friends.But when you choose to take those jokes public then it is another matter entirely.I am Scottish and don’t find what he said funny about Scottish Indy.The man is cultural arrogant and a blubbering fool.
I think his so called racism is an absolute breath of fresh air in a world of PC pandering pussys. And Tymon needed hospital treatment from one punch? Fair play Jeeza. Met him in Dublin a few years back, an absolute gent who can take a joke better than he can dish them out.
It seems clarkson only punches when he is hungry
I would gladly punch him anytime
They say the thing with the biggest dick is a whale
I thinks it Top Gear,myself boom boom
Only in little England would you have droves sticking up for an overpaid over rated public school boy who has assaulted a lazy paddy in direct breach of his contract of employment for which he is paid millions
I’m 56 and never ever owned a TV licence nuff said
He is a pal of that other rich boy Cameron so the law won’t apply so no charges then
A lot of people seem to know all about Clarkson, and his actions, without an official report on what exactly happened, but how many of you know what the producer was like? He might be a bit of a arseh0le, and may have been at least partly to blame –
We dont know
Should he lose his job?!…. I’m sitting here wondering why he hasn’t been arrested for assault. Oh yeah I forgot, I’m living in a country where some people are “above” the law, not only getting away with doing what they like to who they like, but also gaining huge amounts of support from moronic zombies. People who say they’re “proud to British” – proud of “what” exactly?
