Michael Gove says Clarkson should not be sacked
As I understand Jeremy Clarkson has apologised, the word in question is horrendous and shouldn't be used.
The Education Secretary says there's no need for the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson after the presenter was accused of using racist language.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Michael Gove said the presenter had apologised and should be forgiven. There had been calls for the broadcaster to terminate the Top Gear star's contract.
It seems to me this was a word he never intended to utter, never intended to broadcast, he's been clear in his apology and I think we should leave matters there.
