Enemy of The People
Jeremy Clarkson

Ignorance is strength. 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.

I must agree with the view on Clarkson here, I don’t agree with any of his bigotry, but there is a side to him that I find funny, but its only when he’s mixed with James May and Richard Hammond. As a trio, those three are hilarious, and a great way to spend an hour laughing at the stupid things they get up to because he thinks he’s the best out of the group (clearly its James May ) - but on his own I can’t stand him

Its like tomatoes… hate them on their own, but as part of a pizza they’re amazing…

Oh Dear. Jeremy Clarkson. Little public school boy who grew up in a priveleged world surrounded by Paddington Bears. Almost never spoke to a girl until in his thirties, because they were, well a little bit girly. Totally and utterly sexless/homosexual who will never act out his fantasies. Became a ‘New Lad’, with his mates Hammo and Jamo. I bet they loved to get a few cans in and watch the ‘footer’ and eat Pizza in a ‘My Family’ does working-class people kind of way. Why think when you can get your views off ‘Talk Sport’? P.C, the E.E.C,foriegners and tree huggers are all running the world. If so why give such a fat irritating twat a prime-time platform. Die now.

Wow, some people posting here can’t see the humour that Clarkson represents. So he doesn’t believe in man made global warming… he’s not alone. There is no consensus. And he’s having a laugh about immigrants and the Germans. It’s a laugh for crying out loud. Develop a sense of homour against your delicate sensibilities will ya?

The thing with Clarkson is, it’s impossible to tell how much he of what he says he really means. He plays to the audience of the moment, which is why he comes across as a reactionary buffoon in his Sun column, an entertaining guy with some dodgy views on Top Gear and HIGNFY, and a smart and actually quite thoughtful person on QI. I doubt whether somebody of his obvious intelligence could sincerely hold views as stupid as some of those he’s espoused in the past: probably a lot of it is done just to needle people like us.

I really don’t think he’s a candidate for this page when there are so many real irredeemable arses in the world.

I worked for one of the lib-left nationals until a few years ago and one of our columnists, an absolute dote of a man, wrote his weekly column about Clarkson’s irresponsibility in pushing extreme speed on the motorways. Held him responsible for laddish driving and numerous deaths. I told him to wait for an email. Sure not, he said, and implied that his little column wouldn’t get under the skin of such a well-known creature.
He didn’t get an email from Clarkson. He got a phone call. He was astonished when Clarkson ickle little ego was hurt.
I suppose the man has learned nothing after hitting the brick wall the other day as he was only going 50-something MPH.

Why should Clarkson be responsible for other people’s driving behaviour? Why should he be held to account for road deaths caused by ’speeding’ when speeding actually doesn’t kill?

When Clarkson appears on our TV there’s a mad rush to the zapper to change channel. The man has a mouth bigger than a Elephant with the same amount OS s##t coming from it. No car is any good unless it get from nought to sixty in two seconds, I’m more interested in getting from sixty to naught in two seconds.

Oh my I cannot bear that this man is so popular…I cannot comprehend it. Everytime I read his column I am just left in a rage because he is so utterly stupid. I mean the other day he was trying to claim that one of his mates who was abusive to a traffic warden was quite right to do so.

Well I presume that was what he was arguing because he seemed pretty aggrieved at the idea that traffic warden’s should be protected by the law from such treatment from members of the public. I made a comment asking if he believed that I as a shop worker should also be abused by people who I don’t serve alcohol to but it never appeared on the website for reasons I can’t comprehend…

Instead it was comment after comment of people telling him how sensible he was because they are just as logically impaired as he is..

I mean laughably he even had the audacity/paucity of logic to compare his own situation and the amount of abuse he receives from people to being in the same situation as traffic wardens and mock wondering why the police don’t protect him from it…as if they are comparable situations at all in the slightest….god I’m ranting, I know but he’s so wearying…

so it’s amusing to read the part there about his ego being so fragile that he whinges whenever someone makes a comment about him…

Jeremy Clarkson is a man who won’t be told what to think by the meddling middle class lefties.When will they get the message ? Those of us who like Clarkson and read the daily Mail do so because we are sick and tired of being told what to think by left wing middle class control freaks.I decide what I think and if you Guardian reading traitors don’t like it you can come and fight me.But I suspect you won’t because you are all cowards…..

I think you’ll find that’s a right wing Labour Govt. at the moment and when I last checked the tabloids, which are full of views like yours, were outselling the Guardian. No, little Middle-class Jeremy is setting up these false targets for you, and you think you are being radical by swallowing it.Try thinking for yourself and see what a fat oaf Clarkson is and please don’t boast about reading the ‘Mail’, I wouldn’t wipe my arse with it.

Jim further to your comment are you saying that I don’t have the right to my opinion? Funnily enough I do. It is called freedom of speech ,something that you people on the left think only applies to those people you happen to agree with.I may not agree with what you say but I would defend to the death your right to say it.Would you do the same? If so you and I are both true democrats.If you do not believe that EVERYONE has the right to free speech then my next question is “when are you going to open your first concentration camp?”and will I be first FOR THE GAS CHAMBER because I am a Jew?

November 23rd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
This is for Mark, mainly…

I am intrigued as to why your only means of describing people who disagree with you or Clarkson is to say that they read the Guardian or that they are left wing/middle class? As if that discounts their opinion but also I am further impressed that you see yourself as thinking for yourself whilst recycling such trite cliches as that.

Because you realise that that whole OMG ALL YOU HATERS ARE LEFTWING MIDDLE GUARDINISTAS is the least original response ever. Something that many people before you have given to justify their bigotry and offensiveness or in your case their support of someone who has been bigoted and offensive in his views.

I think you’ll find if you think about it just a bit that you’re actually just repeating phrases you’ve heard others use and in doing that you’re just displaying your own lack of ability to think for yourself.

I mean you just illustrate your own idiocy by trading in tired old stereotypes like that about the people who differ from you because they are so simplistic that they are stupid, as they simply aren’t true.

Because trust me, I’ve never ever read the Guardian, never, always the Sun and I am also the furthest thing from middle-class that you might imagine to find… Unless you count living on a council estate the daughter of parents on benefits and working in a supermarket miracly middle-classed somehow??

I still don’t like Clarkson. Almost everything he’s said in the public domain of his column is idiotic.

A far as left wing, you might be right in that left wingers do seem to be the people endevouring to treat people fairly and I favour that but I’m certainly not affiliated with any side really. I don’t just agree with someone because I’m told by others that I should or because I feel that I should. Nor do I disagree with them.

I make up my own mind and I’ve a bias towards those who are sensible and not prejudiced or unfair to other people. Clarkson is content to suggest that he is all of those things. That is why I personally do not like him. This is my opinion and so I’ve commented back because I don’t appreciate you accusing me of making my mind up based upon my nonexistent membership of certain groups.

You have no reason to discount my opinion of him you haven’t really given a reason for yours that he is worthwhile.

Read what I’ve written. As an example of something that came direct from one of his columns. Do you think that I as a shop worker should be abused by members of the public and threatened by them for upholding the law? Because Clarkson seems to think that traffic wardens should.

Is that fair or logical. No. Clarkson thinks it is. To me that makes him stupid. What do you think?
Zoe
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:22 pm

This is for zoe.I read your reply and I have one or or two points .The reason I do not like left wing middle class people is because they are the people who are trying to tell me and others like me what to think.If they were simply content to hold their views I would not mind but they don’t.I hate socialists for the same reason I hate Nazis:the reason is that they think they know how to run my life and they want me to be like them and would force me to if they could.I don’t want to be like them and I don’t want to join their group.I want to run my own life and mind my own business.That is why I like Jeremy Clarkson.He it seems to me wants to do that without being interfered with by control freaks.
mark
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
This is for zoe .Clarkson was wrong to support the abuse of traffic wardens.As a law abiding citzen who reads the daily mail I condemn such behaviour.No none should be abused for upholding the law.But one further thought .Is the law always right.Was it not Winston Churchill who said ” laws are for the guidance of the wise and the slavish obedience of fools.” Am I an idiot for holding my own opinion? I am at least a free man who would defend my right and yours to free speech .Could you say the same? Also I liked the way you corrected your own error.good move!!!!!!
Zoe
November 24th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
No laws aren’t always right but I would argue that the majority of parking ones are, because otherwise people would park wherever they liked and that just wouldn’t work would it?

Chaos would quickly descend.

People like Clarkson are just stupid and because they want to do away with everything they don’t like but don’t think about the alternatives to the things they disagree with.

I mean given that people park where they like now even with the laws in place - I’ve been on quite a few buses that have had problems getting past cars that were parked stupidly on the road. How would letting people park where they liked help anyone but irresponsible motorists?

And why should these people get their way at the expense of others?

I mean people cannot police themselves, as ideal as that would be because they are too selfish and self-interested to and would all immediately start causing one another grief to get what they want.

I mean I say this because you can see in the world that we already cause one another enough grief with the laws in place.

But does Clarkson think of this. No? That’s just a symptom of his inability to think. He just spouts off these rubbish columns about things he hasn’t given thought to at all and it’s all a bit stupid.

Although of course the greater issue with Clarkson is does he actually care about anyone but himself?

Because he is like the figurehead for lawless self interest.

Laws as a rule (albeit not always) are in place to help us all get along with one another and it seems to be that element of cooperation which Clarkson dislikes, that concept of equal respect and equality amongst people.

For instance he believes in speeding and parking where he likes and has a fuck everyone else as long as I’m happy attitude.

See I’m a person and deserve rights too and as such I have every right to dislike a man who feels that his own self interest should deny them and I don’t understand why other people don’t.

I just wanted to say with my previous comment and am so again, that you don’t actually dislike left-wing middle-class people at all. You dislike anyone who is telling you, or even advising you what to do even slightly and it’s foolish to react against people for the sake of it like that.

Sometimes other people are better informed about an issue than we are ourselves, it’s that simple. I mean if I went through my courses strictly upon my own counsel and thinking entirely for myself then where the fuck would I be? I don’t know about everything.

Sometimes it’s best to just listen to others. Then think about the things people are suggesting, about why they are suggesting them and then decide whether they are right or wrong in your eyes or fair/unfair.

Don’t let people like Clarkson do that thinking for you and just dismiss everything as wrong because it comes from a group of people that you don’t feel you should be agreeing with.

Because thing is you are naive if you think that it’s only left-wing middle-class people that are trying to force their views on everyone. Everyone does that to some extent, it’s what every commentator wants really.

I mean would Clarkson really be giving me his views in a national newspaper (which is the Sun btw) if he didn’t hope/expect to influence me his reader?

What would be the point to speaking aloud if he didn’t want to do that?

In fact he regularly declares that he wants to change ppl’s minds, so I don’t understand how you could be writing about people brainwashing other people and then like Clarkson at the same time.

That’s what he does as well and I don’t like that.

Oh and of course I believe in free speech. It’s hardly like I am ranting about shutting the man down or telling you to shut up.

He just irritates me and offends me and I’m entitled to say that and to express why. I do after all have very definite reasons, this is hardly unmitigated abuse of him is it?

Basically I think he isn’t the only person on the planet, neither are you and neither am I and so sometimes we have to appreciate other people’s concerns as well as our own, otherwise it just descends into childishness. Clarkson in his pursuit of doing what he wants doesn’t recognise that.
mark
November 24th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
If you want hate Jeremy Clarkson That is your right and I would defend that right.What I am against is the people who do want to shut him down and tell me that I should not like him.He may be on oaf in your opinion but a lot of people like his libertarian anti P.c views.THose who advocate political correctness think that they have the right to tell other people what to think.Political correctness is pure Marxism and I do not want to be a Marxist nor do I want ntoi be ruled by them.They have a nasty habit of killing the people who do not agree with them.

I know it’s a bit late but I had to comment on this, Jeremy Clarkson = f*cking genius. Think people, do you really think that Mr Clarkson is as one celled as some of his published opinions would make out?

Jeremy Clarkson is in the entertainment business, and as the sales figures for his books, and viewing figures for top gear show he is very good at this. Top Gear is probably the most entertaining show on TV. The comments he makes are outlandish because it entertains, as per his books. The example the author of this article took out of his book about immigrants only being able to milk cows and strip down ak47’s, for f*cks sake - how stupid do you have to be to not realise it was said as a joke?
Richard
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Yeah, Clarkson IS a tosser but unlike many of the politicians who think like he does, he’s only doing it for the sake of entertainment.

Unfortunately there are too many stupid people in the world who just can’t tell the difference (300,000 Facebook members it seems).

There are so many more people on this site worthy of our hatred for us to be worrying about a ‘TV Personality’. To do so makes us as bad as the tabloid press in this country who would have us spending our lives obsessed with ‘celebrity’ rather than the serious issues facing this planet.

WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!
jim
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Richard,
I agree to a point, but it is wankers like Talksport and Clarkson who are telling the populace what to think. They are in the same ‘entertainment’ business as the politicians (politics being another branch of entertainment at the moment). In this world the only game in town at is anarcho-capitalism which is destroying the structure of societies everywhere. Clarksons message gells with this point of view- individuals should be left to do what they want etc. Forget the poor, disabled, the environment I want to do what I want because I’m a big fat mummys boy.

December 4th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
To JIM.Many people who like Jeremy Clarkson have a mind of their own,myself included.If you want to hate him that is your right but just because you don’t like someone ,it does not mean that those who do like him are incapable of thinking for themselves.Why do you really hate him?Is it because you don’t like the fact that he and people like him do not want to be told what to think by their opponents on the political LEFT?
The Chief
December 5th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Clarkson knows exactly what to say to get a reaction and has a fairly balance viewpoint. Most of his comments have a serious point and then are taken out of context for humour value.

He’s like a real life internet troll. He knows people aren’t going to agree with him on a lot of things, so he runs with it and decides that if you’re going to hate him, he might as well give you a reason to. That’s why he’s awesome. He’s also a lot smarter than the writer of this column, who clearly does not understand the art of exaggeration.

Because he may be many things, but he isn’t stupid. I am not sure if he is actually racist, although he is a right old Tory and without a doubt has some choice views behind closed doors… Either way, he knows only to well that the BBC would drop him like a stone and axe Top Gear in a jiffy if there was even the mere hint of joke about race / sex / gender etc. Then JC would be fucked because he would actually have to work for the Dave channel, having taking the piss out of them for years…

What an amusing series of comments concerning Mr. Clarkson!
It always baffles me why people get so uptight about a man in the entertainment business. Yes that’s right entertainment, he is not the Prime Minister so his views are just that, views. If you are honestly swayed by his arguments then you are a weak individual – the man does it because it is funny! If you do not like his humour then fine, do not watch the television or read his newspaper articles, simply really.
If you want to complain about someone with actual power moan about Gordon Brown and his crusade to ruin this Country.
Don Canard
January 5th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Nick.

Can you explain what Clarkson is actually for? He has ‘no power’, he is not entertaining, he is not informative and he is certainly not funny.

He is mildly offensive and slightly irritating. Like a watered down version of Richard Littlejohn, only HE TALKS LOUDER ABOUT CARS.

So, do you agree that actually he is just a bit of a pointless, middle aged twat?

Also, I think Brown is doing a fine job, but there is room for improvement and he needs to move a bit more to the left.

Oh, and if you don’t like his ‘crusade’ then don’t live here.

Simply really

Zoe
January 7th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Then again Nick one might say why would you come to a site knowing that people are going to be expressing negative opinions of Clarkson and then be/act as if you are surprised or baffled to see some.

Oh and clearly you have enough time to come read a site about Clarkson and leave a comment so why cast aspersions on the other people’s choice to complain about him?

Surely it’s no more silly than your comment telling us to caaaaaalm down and direct our hate to more worthy opponents - in your opinions.

Also how do you know that the people who comment here don’t also comment elsewhere/have strong feelings on/dislike of political figures (and maybe even the ones you mention) as well?

Disliking Clarkson doesn’t delete any other interest that the commenters here have in the world and it’s pretty silly of you to suggest that it does or even that it might.

It’s just people don’t talk about politicians like Brown here is because the topic is Clarkson.
Don Canard
January 7th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
@ Marc

You said: “To Don canard, why should we have to leave the country if we don’t like the labour party” Massive LOL! I was paraphrasing your own rationale in an attempt to illuminate how silly it was. You said “If you do not like his humour then fine, do not watch the television or read his newspaper articles, simply really.”. Oh dear…You are disagreeing with your own backwards logic - Not very smart. Anyway, you ramble on with this gem: “this is typical of people with labour views,its your way or the highway,is it now illegal in your world to be middle aged.” WTF? Labour views? What do you know of “Labour Views” other than the Nazi fanzine bollocks that you have gleaned from the Daily Fail? Remember, I was being flippant and quoting back your own failed argument. Also, and I’m sorry if this was too subtle for you the first time round, I was being satirical, given the amount of times have we all heard the Daily Fail / BNP trot out their worn-out “if they don’t like it then don’t live here” bullshit. Look up “Irony” As for the middle aged / illegal thing…. Err, WTF? Frankly you sound like a crazy person. I said Clarkson was a middle aged twat, which he is. Not sure how you got to your raving madness statement but it was very funny…
Paul
January 21st, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of an extreme hate figure. While I don’t agree with him on many things, he’s simply playing up to an idea of him that we all have in the liberal/leftish world, a bigoted, petrol head. Well I’ve got news for you I am a bit of a petrol head, I’m also a liberal and I’m British and as such I recognise that yes mistrust of ‘johnny foreigner’ escpecially those over the channel is a real part of the british national pysche, for a number of reasons, socially, historically and culturally.

But Jeremy is a hate figure amongst the chattering classes/ guardianos simply because hes popular and he embodies rightly or wrongly much of what many in the UK still hold dear.

But the intellectual superiority with which the environmental lobby attacks him with is just not effective. He is a national treasure and I’d feel quite happy with him as PM, because unlike the guardianos and islington mob, he’s not afraid to say what he thinks right or wrong. The chattering classes on the otherhand spend their time projecting an outward aura of equality while inside still hold on to a measure of xenophobia and racism that is present somewhere in all people, as a result of the evolution of the human mind.

So give him a break, you want a real evil target who isn’t just a bit silly in the way JC is then go after Melanie Phillips Daily Evil writer.
Don Canard
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Paul

Fair enough – I think you make a good point and some of your criticism of the chattering classes is entirely just.

JC is not an evil bigot, like say Peter Hitchens or Paul Dacre. As I said before, JC may be a pointless twat, but he is also fairly harmless. He is not a political figure and has no coherent political ideology, other than trite Mail clichés (which one suspects he espouses with tongue firmly in cheek in any case.)

His public persona is a caricature; and may even be an attempt at post modern irony: The amiable, mildly racist and slightly sexist uncle that is embarrassing parties and likes Cars.

Not so sure about “…a measure of xenophobia and racism that is present somewhere in all people, as a result of the evolution of the human mind…”

That sounds unlikely to me. I was under the impression that Racism is a cultural phenomenon, not a genetic predisposition. Is there any genetic advantage in having an irrational fear of other races? I think that like all forms of bigotry, racism is a learnt behaviour that is perpetuated by ignorance.

And therefore with education it can be unlearnt. Over time, Millions of people can change their views for the better - as America have proven.

January 25th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
After reading the majority of the articles on our site I couldn’t agree more with your selection of ‘enemies’ and the reasons for hating them. However, when I look at the people you’ve written about in your other posts I’m entirely perplexed as to why this time round you’ve chosen to lay into someone who shares so many view and so many enemies with you. You seem to have lost your usual verbal panache and witty riposte, instead plumping for what could easily be mistaken for misdirected PMT.

Now, I can see how Clarkson’s views and the way he verbalises them could rub someone up the wrong way but I really think this is done for comic effect rather than actual political/social gain. His seemingly boundless jingoism is, I’m sure, a product of over-zealous BBC producers who’ve found their ‘product’ rather than Clarkson’s desire to kill/maim/insult/preach.

Also, this:
“In his position as a popular figure, he is no doubt to blame for a lot of the “scepticism” towards climate change.”
is bollocks.

The *skepticism* toward climate change is a result of founded scientific and political argument, most of which was raised in the Channel 4 documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. Clarkson’s views on climate change are, however misguided they may be, are purely as a result of his love of fast cars and not some sort of bizarre attempt to alter public opinion. If you want to ostracise somebody for encouraging people to fuck up the environment, perhaps you should have tried Geoff Polites, former CEO of Jaguar and Land Rover (it’s too late now, he died of cancer in April… how ‘tragic’).

Blaming Clarkson for the issues you appear to be blaming him for is a bit like blaming a film when your kid starts to misbehave: futile and wrong.

@ Don

You raise some interesting points and I think you are right as far as Clarkson though I believe that the daily mail is not a clarkson paper. Clarksons old boy public school a step above newer private schools (or so they say), and they dislike the daily mail. It is very much the paper of the lower middle classes and of the nouveaux (sic) riche. An old boy like Clarkson is more a telegraph or times reader, and I’ve actually heard Clarkson remark with some vitrol about the daily mail.

On my point about racism you may be right, what I said is just a personal opinion, based on personal experiences in Northern Ireland with regard to prejudice. I may however be wrong. But I do feel that the term ‘racism’ is thrown around far too much, to the point were in tribunals and incidents etc involving minorities or the majority race is a card that is used when it may not have been a factor at all.

On another point, a more general point that I think is important people on this site note, is that the daily mail is simply playing on real fears that much of the upper working classes, and parts of lower and ‘middle’ middle classes have about our society. They have lost most during the new labour/liberalism period we have experienced since 97 and therefore retreat into a mindset (and a paper) that expresses those fears. Now I’m no closet mail reader, but I am a realist and i like to look at our politics and society from as objective a viewpoint as I can (hence i read the independant, I always feel it is quite balanced) and I fear that we have alienated large swathers of our society.

Now this may well have been done with best intentions at heart, but I also feel that there is a large element of intellectual snobbery and just some plain old snobbery. The white lower and middle classes represent some very british things things that many in the islington/guardiano classes find repugnant. I.E belief in academic selection, military service, etc etc all those ‘old britain things’ some good some bad.

And quite frankly we are leaving ourselves open to social tension, breakdown and quite possibly violence if something isn’t done, and real issues that the liberal community skirts around because it raises uncomfortable race issues.

Clarkson….just a big overweight snotty old man trying to make out like some young man. No chance! The fat b*****d can’t even drive except on some deserted runway where even my youngest could do as well. Try my job fat man..Traffic Policeman, driving extremely fast at times, through crowded city centres but safely. he wouldn’t have a clue! What i wouldn’t give for a couple of rounds in the ring with him. I’d soon knock that over elongated face of his to bits. Please, stop tryng to wear jeans. far too old and podgy. As for the Top Gear audience…what a lot of sad sods they are. Watch them, hanging on his every silly word and comment. They are all culpable in bringing this fool to out screens. I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.

Not at all Lewis. you appear to have missed the point altogether! I love my job and wouldn’t want to do any other. See this great oaf for what he is. Yes, he is well paid…by us mugs that pay our TV licence fee. You pleased with doing that?
Lewis
February 7th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Worth every penny imo.

Quite frankly I admire anyone who can turn a hobby or passion into a full-time job. Fair play to the guy and, if driving is your passion, fair play to you too.
However, I can’t understand the psychology behind taking pot-shots at a man for voicing his opinions. Surely half the point of having opinions is to share them?

Clarkson is the one who has been nurturing a cult of personality for what ever reason - so we can’t just watch a programme about cars any more, it has to be saturated with his irrelevant views and sniping at people who dare to disagree.
NickJ
February 9th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
To John the Traffic Policeman,

What an awful attitude you have! “What I wouldn’t give for a couple of rounds with him” I certainly hope I don’t live in your area if that is your policy on people doing nothing wrong except expressing an opinion!
It seems rather ironic that you need to resort to insulting someone on their physical characteristics. When Jeremy did that recently with regard to Gordon Brown and the one eyed Scottish idiot jibe the press certainly reacted – perhaps you and Jeremy are more alike than you would care to admit!
Simon
February 9th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
@ NickJ

There’s a big difference between expressing an opinion down the pub to friends or on this sort of web site, and abusing your position as a highly paid BBC front-man to air your irrelevant views to the nation. Especially dissing GB.
Don Canard
February 11th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Can I just point out that Brown is Scottish, does s effectively have one eye, and is considered by Millions to be an idiot.

I don’t like Clarkson, I think he is a twat, but on this occasion his comments, whilst cruel, could be seen as entirely accurate

That’s all.
NickJ
February 11th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Simon,

I think Jeremy has every right to express his opinion, why shouldn’t he if he sees a situation like the British economy sliding into oblivion?
In addition to Top Gear he has made many programmes which have had a patriotic flavour such as British inventions, Brunel’s engineering and valour in the theatre of war so you could never say he does not care for his Country. Perhaps his recent Brown outburst shows that he is saddened that a once great Country is now up to its eyeballs in debt, has the prospect of three million unemployed and as the governor of the Bank of England forecast today a deep recession.
Gordon Brown has consistently blamed everyone else for our current situation but Gordon Brown IS to blame.
Simon
February 12th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
@ Don - celebs should keep their opinions to themselves, or we might think that they are pursuing their own agenda, abusing their public position.

@NickJ - all western countries have the same problems and the UK has less debt than many other top countries. JC is no economist, and you read too much Daily Mail.
Chris
February 17th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Isn’t it healthy to have a bit of balance in society’s debates? After all in the relentless rise of left wing alternative comedy in the 80’s, we still had to endure knob’eds like Jim Davidson, Dave Lee Travis and Noel Edmonds who, as it happens, were given free reign to say what they liked on BBC air time (By the way both the hairy cornflake and Noel were regular guest presenters on the original Top Gear format).

While I can’t bear to watch the man Clarkson, nor for that matter the interaction with his two little arse licking droogies, if the BBC have decided that those kind of blinkered views should be represented and paid for by the license fee payer, I can’t think of a more four star, max powered, top fueled c+nt to represent them.

Silencing this man will only throw fuel onto his fire and make him even more powerfull in the eyes of his pathetic devotees. I say give him the kind of exposure that some others get, i.e. put him on every celebrity dancing, celebrity Oh Christ I’m in a fecking jungle type of programme and just you watch the great white British public, whose attention he so adores, will soon have their fill of him and reject him in their masses.

Pity we can’t make it work for Bruce Forsyth eh?

Which brings me to another related point. In 1997 Bruce Forsyth, Paul Daniels and Cilla Black all vowed that if a Labour government got elected that year they would all leave the country for good. On one hand I thank them for the most effective peiece of unintentional labour campaigning in political history and on the other, “Why the feck are you still here you over tanned cliched has beens?”

Clarkson is in fact a psychopath, in that he relishes putting other people down and shirks his responsibility for the environment. Not a throw away remark, I’ve studied it for many years and he has a personality disorder - the modern term for psychopath. If you pass this knowledge on, I wouldn’t be able to stop you. Scary but true. Terry Wogan is another climate change denier….shirking responsibility….yes another psychopath.

Don Canard

@ Alex

I don’t doubt your intensions here and your concern for the environment is admirable. However, your argument would have had more validity if you had avoided using cod-psychology nonsense. Remember, if in doubt, Google is your friend…

‘Personality Disorder’ is not a modern term. I am pretty sure it has been referred to in the DSM IV for at least the last 20 years, and there are some texts and papers dating back to the late 1950’s that used the phrase. The concept of someone having a ‘personality disorder’ goes back to ancient Greece.

Whilst it is correct to say that a ‘psychopath’ is someone who has a certain type of Personality Disorder, it is not correct to say that it is a ‘replacement’ word. For one, the word ‘psychopath’ is still widely used to describe a certain, very extreme form of personality disorder, and two, there are many types, or clusters, of personality disorder and they exist on a continuum.

That is to say it is all very subjective – diagnosis is not easy and not definitive.

It is neither fair nor accurate to suggest that all those with a ‘personality disorder’ are psychopaths.

It’s important that however well meaning, rational and progressive people ensure that they speak and write responsibly about mental health issues

Shit-rags like the Sun and the Mail spread enough lies, fear and ignorance already.

Clarkson is an entertainer with a lad attitude…that’s what his fans think.

But hes a wanker, he’s Mr BBC with a big egotistical mouth that I would love to stick my boot in!!!

I can’t stand the fat fucker. Really!

A dart board with his face on it would be a best seller. Why go to all the bother of writing why when I can just let loose with how I feel and not care two fuckin hoots!!!

So thats it…HE’S A WANKER!!!

Clarkson is a unique talent. He is the only person I can think of that can wind up: Road safety campaigners, pc lefties, eco-nutters, AGW alarmists, gays and foreigners all at the same time. He makes it look easy he and does it on TV and in the press without creating a scandal or jeopardising his career in any way. In fact it’s expected of him! It’s amazing.

However, the thing I like best about Clarkson is his ability to make me weep with laughter while he’s doing it.

You’re on the wrong forum mate. This is a discussion about Jeremy Clarkson. If you want to preach about Global Warming/AGW/CAGW/ACC/MMCC/Climate Change (or whatever it has been re-branded as this week), you would be better off joining the ever dwindling band of disciples on a web site like realclimate.org where you can all comfort each other by chanting doctrine together and cursing the ever growing armies of “denialists”.

Meantime (with any luck) Clarkson will continue earning huge piles of money by taking the piss out of people like you, whilst providing amusement to millions of free thinking people who actually have a sense of humour.

Please feel free to indulge yourself in an ad hominem attack on me. It might help to relieve your frustration at the fact that Clarkson remains well beyond your reach.

El Kabong I have no desire to have a pop at you at all. A sense of humor is what you are gonna need mate look at this winter. Coldest since 1914. Am I lying? It’s gonna be hard to do burnouts in a evo in four feet of snow. If you want to put your head up your ass and deny scientific fact be my guest. It is the kids growing up now who will have to carry the can. Does it ever strike you that Clarkson has a vested interest in slagging off people worried about climate change given that he is a car salesman? That his opinions might not be so impartial after all. That maybe the reason he is so rich is because he denies climate change. I’m not trying to take anyones opinion away or preach to the people who will never listen. Go and buy yourself a Bronco for all I care mate. A Inconvenient Truth Isn’t just a clever name.

Tsk, tsk, no question mark? That’s a bit sloppy.

Yes, of course I’ve seen it (it is required viewing for any well informed AGW sceptic), besides I enjoy a good comedy, that’s why I watch Top Gear.

Enjoy your lentils and don’t polish your sandals too enthusiastically, it’ll make you breath out extra CO2.

I see they are showing “Mega-Tsunami, Wave of Destruction” on Eden tonight. That should be a perfect bit of light entertainment for you to get paranoid over.

You haven’t seen it El Faggo. If you had you could answer my question what is the closing scene. Typical fucking ill informed moron that you are you don’t even know the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. What a spastic. You can use words like Pavlovian and puerile and albeit, but you have no understanding of science a twelve year old can grasp. You are such a retard El Faggo. Stick to championing the car industry and leave the science to the grown ups.
Steve
March 5th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Let me clarify a few things for you El Faggo. Human Beings are carbon based life forms which breath air. Air is comprised of several different percentages of gases. Trees turn co2 in to oxygen which drives your muscles and brain (if you have one). Cars give out gases which pollute the air /atmosphere. With me so far? Cars give of carbon monoxide which becomes dioxide when mixed with the air. Above our planet is something called a ozone layer (heard of it?) This layer protects us from ultra-violet rays. You know as in UV protection or I suppose that is a lie too. The gases in the atmosphere are thinning the protective layer because there is too much co2 and not enough trees to turn it back in to oxygen. This thinning is causing the caps to melt. The melting caps are causing climate change. Now for fucks sake which part of this cycle of man made destruction do you not understand? Or do you need something with pictures? I suppose the earth is flat as well El Faggo. Fuck me.
Steve

March 6th, 2010 at 3:49 am
That’s it; you just keep on parroting the AGW dogma. You never know, you might be lucky enough to find a gullible mug who believes it (but you’d better hurry up, they’re getting pretty scarce).

If you want to be one of “Gore’s Whores” that’s fine by me. I would fiercely defend your right to believe whatever you like. Just think, if you can make it into the AGW priesthood, maybe Al will take you for a ride in his private jet. It’s got a special magic doo-dah to stop it emitting any greenhouse gasses (Honest guv! Swelp me). I think it’s called a carb’n’trader (must be like a carburettor, only better, eh?).

Obviously, your “science a twelve year old can grasp” hasn’t caught up with the fact that real science is never “settled”. Real science welcomes sceptics and thrives on debate. That’s how scientific advances are made.

Oh yes, and just for the record, I’m not championing anything, least of all the “car industry”, but please don’t stop making wild guesses about me. I’m enjoying having my own personal “Climate Clown”
Steve
March 6th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Indeed El Faggo what you are actually championing is ignorance blindness, and crass stupidity. I notice you know a awful lot about climate campaign groups. For somebody who denies climate change. Personally I have never heard of the AGW or half the other organizations you bang on about. Presumably the government are having a act on co2 campaign for their health, and rolling out recycling schemes everywhere for the fun of it. I guess they phased out leaded petrol at enormous expense because it isn’t happening as well. In addition I also suppose the people who live in Greenland and Canada who are watching the Arctic melt are lying too. And the people of the Polynesian island who are slowly getting washed away are in on the hoax. Not to mention the Netherlands who are spending billions on coastal defense are doing that for the fun of it. Your denial is beneath you.
Steve
