New Top Gear

As far as I know the "ginger freaks" never punched one of his work colleagues in the face because he couldn’t get a hot dinner.

 

merely reciprocating squire

 

Before the 'Top Gear' fracas: Jeremy Clarkson's epic list of controversies

if he was someone you worked with in the real world, not only would he have been sacked a long time ago but most people would have been glad to see the back of him as well

hes a racist tory bigot and the worlds got plenty of them already

 

No particular reason, just not a massive fan of tories/public schoolboys in general so just threw it in the mix as i was compiling a list of the things i dislike most about him.

Youre probably right though, racist bully with a penchant for offending anyone that isnt him probably suffices.

 

Yep. That's really what it comes down to isn't it.

 

So just to be clear is it all tories or all public schoolboys or all tories who are public schoolboys that you dislike ?
Half the Labour front bench were ex public schoolboys before the Corbyn Terror.

 

Just a personal preference John.

 

let it go man

he's your hero, i respect you for that

 

But which is it ?

 

Clarkson's was hardly a silver spoon birth. He only got to go to public school because his Mum, in desperation to feed the family after another of Clarkson senior's regular financially catastrophic job failures began knocking up Paddington Bear soft toys on her sewing machine in the back room to sell to friends. They took off in a big way and became the ubiquitous hatted and duffle-coated Paddington teddy bears that were absolutely everywhere in the 1970's and made the family's fortune. Without that Clarkson would still be speaking with a Doncaster accent and probably driving a white van.
At least he's made good on the advantage his parents struggled to give him and didn't squander it in idleness or develop a whining sense of entitlement. He's worked hard to get where he has and I've got no problem with anyone doing that whatever their personality or their political preferences.

 

I think its his whole snobby demeanour where he appears to think he’s above everyone as opposed to him actually voting tory although I do connect the two (rightly or wrongly).

 

So the fact that he is a tory (?) is irrelevant ?

 

As are the posts...

 

The persona Clarkson adopts in Top Gear is characterised by shoutiness, hyperbolical exaggeration, being provocative, and mechanical incompetence. This is an entertaining characterisation which has achieved great popularity worldwide. He can however play other characters; has anyone seen his series about Victoria Cross holders?

It is quite funny to see some folk swallowing Clarkson's persona whole and expressing opinions about him as though it was real. This is a tribute to his abilities as a performer.

In other news, Schwarzenegger is not really a robot, Stallone is not really a boxer, and Edward G Robinson was not really a gangster.

 

Is Keith Lemon real or not?

I know Ali G is.

 

You sure? Have you seen him act?
