(SOUNDBITE) (English) "TOP GEAR" TELEVISION SHOW PRESENTER JEREMY CLARKSON SAYING:
"I mean I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. I mean how dare they go on strike when they've got these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed whilst the rest of us have to work for a living."
Trades unions have condemned the remarks.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) "UNISON" UNION ASSISTANT GENERAL SECRETARY, KAREN JENNINGS SAYING:
"He did it in a really vile, nasty way. And I think that many of those people that were out on strike with their children yesterday, demonstrating in communities, will actually have felt appalled and in many ways felt there was an incitement of hatred towards them."
Clarkson has since apologised for his remarks saying they were not meant to be taken seriously.
More than 2 million public sector strikers are estimated to have joined this week's 24 hour strike against changes to their pensions.
