Long Live Jeremy Clarkson!
Jeremy Clarkson is a bit like Marmite - you either love him or hate him. I fall into the former category because I think the bloke is absolutely awesome! He is incredibly insightful, funny and has a habit of saying what a high proportion of society is thinking… which cannot be said for most TV personalities today. Most of them are being censored and threatened with the sack should they say or do anything that could be considered even mildly offensive! Take Christine Bleakley, presenter of The One Show, as an example. She used a Soda Stream machine live on air earlier this week and it made a sound that was reminiscent of someone farting (for want of a better term). You could tell that the machine had made the sound but Bleakley got complaints from the Mary Whitehouse brigade, all of whom now see it as their moral duty to take all entertainment off our TVs! Pathetic!
At least Jeremy Clarkson has the balls to stand up to the system… even if he is forced to apologise afterwards!
Clarkson, host of the ever popular Top Gear, landed himself in hot water this week and was forced to apologise for calling Gordon Brown a “one-eyed Scottish idiot.” The jibe about his lack of sight in one eye was definitely in poor taste and he was right to apologise for that… but I’m glad Clarkson halted his apology right there. His choice of wording was incredibly poor and he shouldn’t have said it but everyone has a right to say what they think in this country so the sentiment behind the rant was warranted. He did not apologise for airing his views and nor should he. Clarkson is a proud Brit and, all offensive material aside, he cares about this country, as we all should do considering the Labour Party is on a one man crusade to ruin it!
Clarkson went on to say: “He keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world and we know he’s lying, but he’s smooth at telling us.” People need to point out Gordon Brown’s lies for all to see because they are becoming so plentiful these days that it’s hard to see the wood for the trees. Many brand Clarkson as bitter, but he has every right to be… as do the rest of us. This government has effectively thrown away all our freedoms. Big Brother is always watching via a range of systems so we cannot say and do as we please anymore without everything being recorded. Our ancestors worked hard for freedom from feudalism and yet we’re being controlled just as much now but in different ways. We live in a nanny state in which upper class men that have never experienced true hardship seem to think they know what is best and make us tow the line.
And so I say again, long live Jeremy Clarkson! Come on everyone - find the backbone of Britain and say no to the nanny state!
