Speaking at the China Exchange in Soho, the former BBC employee Jeremy Clarkson recalled when he was accused of being racist by the corporation: "Political correctness is tiresome. We really suffered from it terribly at the Beeb... I remember being called in to see Danny Cohen... he said, 'I understand you have a new dog and you have called it Didier Dogba. It is racist'". In an interview with the "Radio Times", Clarkson said, "It's become so up itself, suffocating the life out of everything with its nonsense need to be politically correct".
