For some reason, Jeremy Clarkson is really popular - he presents the highest rated programme on BBC Two, Top Gear, and horrifyingly, the Facebook group “Jeremy Clarkson should be Prime Minister” has a staggering 300,000 members. This, if anything, is yet more evidence that democracy was simply a bad idea.

He’s one of those people who are celebrated for being “politically incorrect”, and wear this label as a badge of honour. Its certainly an odd honour to have - it must be difficult trying to balance sticking it to the minorities, the foreigners and the environment, without coming across, as y’know, a hideous bigot. And everyone hates bigots. Especially other bigots. Coming over here, taking jobs from bigots.

To watch Clarkson’s reports on Top Gear, its always disconcerting once you notice that every time he mentions another country, he always does it with contempt in his voice - he clearly isn’t capable of saying “The Germans”, without emphasising the phrase, as if to say “Yeah, the Germans, y’know, the ones we beat in the war, eh, lads?”.

As you might expect, Clarkson, as the presenter of a motoring programme, and the man who props up an entire digital channel with repeats of his programme, is not just an enemy of the people, but an enemy of the environment.  He’d send flowers by post just for the thrill of killing plants,if it weren’t such a gentlemanly thing to do.  In his position as a popular figure, he is no doubt to blame for a lot of the “scepticism” towards climate change

Depressingly, he is also a popular author, having written books with titles like “The World According to Clarkson” which if excerpts like this are anything to go by, could also go by the name “The Wanker’s Manifesto”:

“David Blunkett spoke last week about relaxing the laws on immigrants, allowing people with a special skill to get a work permit in britain. Great, but the people coming over on those boats are not teachers and computer programmers. All they can do is strip down an ak47 and milk a goat.”

The only good thing he’s done for the world has been to punch Piers Morgan. More on that soon.
