Britain:
"Jeremy Clarkson's comments have once again sparked fury after he compared synchronised swimming to the deaths of 23 Chinese cockle pickers in Morecambe.
In a column for the Sun, the Top Gear presenter said the sport amounted to 'Chinese women in hats, upside down, in a bit of water.' He added: 'You can see that sort of thing on Morecambe Beach. For free.'
Twenty-three Chinese migrant workers were drowned picking cockles in Morecambe Bay in 2004 after they were trapped by the rising tide.
The deaths of the men and women - aged between 18 and 45 - exposed the illegal practices of gangmasters who exploit vulnerable migrant workers for cheap labour.

It's Britain, Who cares.
What no sympathy for cockle pickers Thats a DANGEROUS JOB
2:06 AM obviously cares for nobody except himself and maybe his nearest "associates". Sad guy/gal!
Anonymous 2:06 and others who parrot his statement: They are people, not a faceless group of throw-aways.
Further, this PC crap is government sponsored, not necessarily people-sponsored.
Would you like it if I contended that you and everyone else in this country thought the same as Obama or the sad and diseased Congress?
Don't discount a people for the poor choices of the elite.
I assume that this was a recent opinion piece. Do Chinese women no longer pick cockles on Morecambe Beach?
Is it not possible that he is referring to something that happens routinely rather than a specific incident that happened 8 years ago?
Yeah right - Morecambe beach in ENGLAND is swarming in chinese folk looking for something for their boring restaurants!
