Jeremy Clarkson's "The World According To Clarkson" is one of Penguin's "best books of its kind to be published in recent years"

Round these parts, we call a twat a twat.

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

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

can we not just simply celebrate this cock finally getting the hoof from the public payroll?

read that as "humiliated and penisless" and was all like "jeez, when did lex get so raw?"

hence the farming phrase m.i.a. farrow

lol

its a confused ref Stevie the meds are kicking in tbh

sows do WHAT?

^^^ was not brought up on a farm

afraid so

disgusting savagings

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

660,000+ on the petition... does he get knighted when it reaches 1,000,000?

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.

Pre-match: Surely attending this Chelsea - PSG game will help make me feel better

xp I'd question your footing, and I'd like to see my scores vs site average

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.

MDC OTM

darragh - doesn't look like you are on enough meds. Take care of yourself.

Don't know why people bother with this "ILX, must do better" shite, as if any of it really matters.

We have to uphold the standards set by the good old days..

basically, lol @ UK's attempt at culture wars

everybody otm inc me and xyz but are we having any fun yet

Well, I am.

Admittedly, that's over there

now then, now then

Clarkson will be on Sky within a few months, the front page of yesterday's Sun couldn't nudge and wink much more obviously in that direction. It's all fun and games until we realise he'll be popping up repeatedly during every ad break in every Premiership game for the rest of our lives.

I really hope that, sans the Top Gear format, Clarkson falls flat on his face and into obscurity. I'm guessing it won't happen, but it would be headswimmingly satisfying if it did.

Saville is like Clarkson, in the sense that he is allowed to get away with it because he draws notoriety and ratings. So for the BBC to sack Clarkson is telling me they have learnt their lesson.

No chance of obscurity for such a playmate of the PM, but don't think Clarkson could get anywhere near the same audience as he does on BBC for anything and adverts don't give him the free reign he's used to. Maybe he's in a better position than most to launch his own online-only show.

yeah but even though he's an unrepentant loudmouth racist apparently prone to violence, nobody is claiming him to be among the most notorious rapists in recent history and to conflate his crimes with those of saville is at best unnecessarily hyperbolic and at worst a pretty serious insult to the dozens of saville's victims.

the comparison is poor and that it serves no one in this

Xp

Its why I said "in the sense...". Obviously throwing punches and racist remarks and not liking reggaeton isn't on the same level as Saville.

However I do see this whole thing as a post-Saville test for the BBC. Post enquiries and all. They've already failed as he should've gone after the racism but its a case of better late than never.

good points

I think he's too lazy for that, though.

Will be lol to see what his pitiful lickspittles do in his absence though.

Both the other presenters also present other things...

Not exactly setting the heather on fire though are they?

may will do alright as long as there's a demand for someone who straddles the divide between blokey and nerdy. i've no idea what hammond's appeal is supposed to be.

He's there for the laydeez.

He seems to be the only one of them who can talk about cars without any insight any more. Remember cars?

bbc shd launch a magazine show about cars
