No I don't like watching her myself, but the freedom of speech is just being abused by these sad pathetic little pillocks who like to do nothing apart from abuse others. Woe betide them if I ever came face to face with an internet troll.

Im suprised no one mentioned her sexuality. Usually when something like this happens its the first thing they aim at.

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

You just did.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how she's named after a brand of cigarettes. I just did.

Well at least old May is waking up to the idea some peoples behaviour is not acceptable.

I cant see how Sue Perkins would be any good as a Top Gear presenter. Does she know anything about cars or is she gonna just read a teleprompter?

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

There's a lot of people happy to hide behind a keyboard making threats who wouldn't do anything if you actually met them.. We get them from time to time here. Believe it or not, we usually get rid fairly quickly. I'll give an example. One ex member told Russ that if Russ ever ventured into Manchester, this member would personally meet him at the station and kick the crap out of him. He never explained how he knew what Russ looked like (Russ didn't have his photo on the site then), how he knew what train Russ would be on, or even how he knew what station. It did give rise to the amusing thought of this member hanging around various Manchester stations for weeks.

Russ must have really peed that guy off :)

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

More than likely but it was Chris the guy threatened, not myself.

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

No I would not think Sue Perkins was suitable anyway.

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

Sorry, it was a long time ago.

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

As the story about her potentially being a Top Gear presenter was totally fictitious, her lack of knowledge (or otherwise) is fairly irrelevant, imho.

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

Personally those people deserve to lose their jobs and serve prison time

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

Course it's not. you can still say she'd be crap as a presenter because all she'll do is try and be funny every 2 seconds and annoy the hell out of you. even though it was totally fictitious her getting the job.

probably because she's annoying to watch and listen to. because she thinks she's funny and she's not.

A common trait with most TV comedians.:(

Re: Sue Perkins quits Twitter over Top Gear death threats
 

Well, my Dalmatian would be a crap Top Gear presenter, but I don't hold it against him.

I try to focus on things that are real and affect me, not vent my spleen on made-up irrelevant stuff - ymmv... ;)
