@Maria_MillerMP
BBC has clear obligation to staff and obligation to licence fee payer-need to better manage relationships with stars like Clarkson

I read 'need to better manage relationships with stars like Clarkson' as 'don't let them get away with all kinds of shit just because they're popular and profitable' but I guess it could be taken the opposite way

so the reason for this dust-up was that jfc's dinner wasn't ready at the end of a shoot?

I wonder what Clarkson would have to do to lose the support of the Top Gear fan base.

be reasonable.

Although I wish Clarkson nothing but humiliation and would not miss the tv show, I hope that Top Gear magazine, which is not the nasty racist cartoon JC is but which contains some of the best English-language writing on cars, would be able to survive, perhaps under a different name.

emil.y, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 17:36 (nine years ago) link

I believe the verdict is definitive for clarkson tho! I mean its a big world out there with a lot of battles and etc.

and its not like he's not going to remain hugely popular anyway, this is just ilx eating its own farrow kinda stuff and we could be discussing new and interesting bowel movement technologies or something.

idk I'm getting a lil lj "ilx should be better than this absolute rubbish" which is nagl I know but look, Jeremy clarkson. what can you say.

I'd be more interested in a look at ok here's a guy who embodies a lot of what we hate who is hugely popular because of it what'll we do what does that say does it inform our struggle for righteousness where does it feed into election strategies or w/e a bump thats nothing but good, smart and funny posters and lex hating clarkson idk feels good sure but its a bit sow eating own farrow by now isnt it

post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 17:46 (nine years ago) link

oh I said farrow thing. not even sure of that ref tbh.

To call something "one of the best books of its kind published in recent years" is almost the definition of damning with faint praise.

it's always so weird when someone comes into a thread and just answers the years-old original question while obviously not bothering to read any of the new discussion

Deems given your perennially low posting-volume-to-content ratio this kind of telling it to the kids is a particularly terrible look for you.

I mean really that's what 90% of English politics is about these days and it's so fucking dispiriting especially on the day when another politically incorrect man of the people is talking about actively rolling back racial discrimination laws. I can't imagine much less enlightening that a thread full of serious issues men's rights andycarrol_thinker.jpg Maurice Glasman handwringing. Better to just let people enjoy the no doubt fleeting misfortune of this worthless cock for as long as it lasts.
