    I read that Jeremy Clarkson, speaking in Australia called Gordon Brown a "one eyed Scottish idiot."

    Since then he has apologised for making the comment.

    Sorry Jeremy you have got it totally wrong this time – you should not have apologised. What you said was completely accurate and factually correct – shame on you – you have gone down in my estimation.

    I notice Scottish Labour Leader Iain Gray said

    "Most people here are proud that the prime minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis."

    If leaders in Scotland hold those views then, if I were a Scot, I would be seriously worried.

    At least there is some consistency in that the Scottish Labour leader is an idiot as well.

    I don’t find it offensive. If the shoe was on the other foot, and a Scot called Blunkett ‘ a blind English moron’, then best believe the English would start driving the offended bus at full speed. The English are good at being offended these days, to the extent where it can ruin television.

    Again a huge fuss about absolutely nothing. When are people going to grow up?

    If a comment causes such offence to someone then I’m glad thats all they have to be concerned about in their lives.

    Can’t say this, can’t say that! :roll:

    FFS – The world hasn’t ended. This over sensitive crying really is pathetic.

    One eyed, two eyed or three eyed Clarkson is bang on about Brown being an idiot.

    Exactly the same right as you or I have I would suggest.

    .just what exactly has he ever achieved?

    He has bought more smiles to peoples faces than Brown ever will – actually I will qualify that, Brown will bring more smiles to peoples faces if he were to quit – but that is not going to happen until he has the balls to call an election or he is forced to.

    Clarkson has more personality in his little finger than Brown has in his entire body.

    Clarkson would, in all probability, make a better job of running the country than Brown has done – then again that is not all that difficult.

    Clarkson is an unadulterated ******. Let’s not be under any illusions about that.

    You may think that – others may not share that view.

    Paul, if I had an Etch-A-Sketch handy, I could prove it beyond all reasonable doubt.

    I’d rather watch 12 weeks of Big Brother than half an hour of Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson.
    He must have a very good agent as he seems adept at gaining maximum publicity week on week with some outburst or other. At his age, and he’s no spring chicken or remotely attractive – and that’s generous – you would think he would have more decorum than to spout this nonsense.

    I suppose he is entitled to call Mr Brown an idiot, I think so if that’s his opinion, but not to bring his appearance or nationality into it.

    I find him an appalling creep and seriously begrudge my licence fee to keep him in business. I think he’s just another wind up merchant like so many forced upon us these days, and further, if the English, who are an increasingly mixed bunch, are getting a little more offended than previous, then I think that’s a good thing and long overdue.

    Gordon Ramsay is another I’d put in the Clarkson mould. I certainly wouldn’t want him cooking for me, every mouthful would contain the F word…..

    mind you, I reckon he’s a right goer…phwooar! :)

    Clarkson is a w*nk stain on the boxer shorts of life. Apparently we are all entitled to an opinion, though i would gladly trade mine if it meant i never heard from him again.

    What do you think of James May UM? I’ve rather enjoyed that series he’s made with Oz watsisname…tended to think of him as ‘the ugly one that I might stand a chance of getting off with’ but have googled him and find that he’s spoken for…..sorry to digress……

    …oh my goodness, now we’re talking…
    yes I do quite like him I must say, he reminds me a little of Stephen Fry but rather more ooomph! if you know what I mean.

    Neil Oliver is another on my list, he does Coast and History of Scotland….

    is it the hair do you think? :)

    ‘the ugly one that I might stand a chance of getting off with’

    James May doesnt have sex moe, everyone knows that.. :roll: :lol:

    To be fair to Gordon Brown, he is such a complete ****** that I dont expect that history will ever manage to accurately portray the scale of how much of a ****** he actually was. Its nothing to do with him being scottish the bloke is just a ******, every country has them (we have gerry addams).

    I cant help but expect that whoever is posted in for the clean up operation will bear the brunt of the public discontent over all browns failings.

    Nothing can or need be added to this, unfortunately.

    Ugly Mare’s description of Clarkson as a wind-up merchant is spot-on, I’d never thought of it that way before.

    Gordon Ramsay I suppose can cook, so he does have a skill, though whether it is a skill that is any more difficult to master than plumbing or plastering is another matter. Being able to boil an egg hardly warrants being given your own series, but then what do I know.

    What most annoys me about Clarkson and that other superannuated moron, Chris Moyles, is that they are reasonably intelligent people, pretending to be moronic for the sake of their careers. Clarkson in particular has become a kind of performing monkey for people to goad:

    "Go on, Jeremy, say something controversial, go on, what do you think about the environment….oh you are awful….have a banana…."

    And as for Top Gear – I once had the misfortune to watch a couple of minutes of that alleged piece of entertainment, having temporarily mislaid the remote. A bunch of morons standing around guffawing, Beavis and Butthead style at the alleged jokes of three men who’s only redeeming feature was their wilful refusal to countenance the interference of anyone from the wardrobe department.

    On a related and increasingly angry note, I received an email from a bookie the other day, inviting me to enter a competition. The prize? A ticket to a live recording of Top Gear. What an astonishingly badly targeted piece of advertising, I thought. Does the presence of the letters M and R in front of my name mark me out as some kind of moron? Because of my particular chromosome configuration, am I to be stalked for the rest of my life by people asking me what I think about the new Ferrari, calling me ‘mate’ when we’ve only just met and assuming that I give a flying lettuce about who Chelsea are about to sign?

    The next advertising person who tries to pigeonhole me gets a pigeon in their hole. And Clarkson can have one an’ all.
