Top Gear is the best thing. Unifying. Brilliant. Visceral. Hilarious. Gorgeous.
Its three presenters are a big part of why. Jeremy Clarkson is the biggest and baddest of the bunch and his outspoken ways have often landed him and parent network BBC in hot water, though anyone with even a modicum of intellect knows when he’s taking the piss and when he’s intentionally going overboard in order to entertain and add to his repertoire. His criticisms of how the powers that be affect his everyday life are often exaggerated and ridiculous but they’re always intentionally over the top.
Recently Clarkson complained about public workers on strike in his country, claiming they ought to be executed in front of their families. It caused a furor to the point where the BBC issued an apology and many calls have come in asking for the presented to be fired.
Because he REALLY wants these people executed in front of their families. Unbelievable stuff.

I love Clarkson so much. Almost as much as I love Top Gear in its entirety. It’s amazing how quotable the show is – just listening to Clarkson describe how a 20 year old Ferrari is superior to the current model is poetry. Poetry + gorgeous editing and music.
This is good, now I know what we can talk about when I work up the nerve to come to the Chateau.
And on that bombshell, goodnight!
The really unbelievable stuff is that in the FULL interview he was saying how great London was with everyone on strike.. How easy it is to get around etc.. and then said “oh hang on this is the BBC I have to be balanced” and then went on to say what you hear in the clip as a fucking obvious joke. Unsurprisingly none of the online clips show that and the Facebook masses fall all over each other to be the first to be outraged.
Actually, this tool is a serious right-wing cunt, and global warming denier. Fuck huim.
Top Gear is a fine show, but this guy is a dick hole. I really can’t stand him.
