He hates the Iraq war though. And I get the feeling half his stances are just there for comedy anyway. (xp botw)

He's not a gung-ho military type. He stands for something beloved of a lot of well-off educated types in the UK: don't get involved with other countries, they're not worth it. Let me own my many cars and my estate and present my TV programme, it's a free nation isn't it?

Clarkson is a Europhile* who hates America, just like most of the people who profess to hate him.

*well, he loves France and Iceland for a fact. And maybe Italy, Norway and Denmark. Probably not Spain, but it's difficult to tell past his lol stereotype gags.

Dear god, the comments on that daily mail page make yer average youtube comment box look almost sensible:

Our local MP is a wimp.

Add my name to the petition. Jeremy for PM! If not PM, then how about representing Leicester?

LOL

While these policies are written in jest, I don't think the government realises it's only a matter of time before Britons are prepared to embrace a leader such as Jeremy Clarkson as an antidote to the mass immigration and ridiculous political correctness of this era.

blah blah blah this labour government blah blah blah crush the spirit out of every englishman blah blah blah political correctness blah blah blah immigration blah blah blah speed cameras blah WTF is wrong with these people? Oh yeah, they're daily mail readers IE MORONS.

"If you don't really believe the right-wing bollocks you write for money then you're alright" is one of my favourite arguments ever.

Where is all this "ridiculous political correctness", anyway?

A disappointingly small amount. And it should have been to the campaign against Climate Change. 6/10 for mischief.

£500 is probably not much money to JC.

Well, there goes his political ambitions:

Clarkson, PM (Alternate universe in 2020) "It is with a truly humble heart that I have to apologise for not only losing all the bank details of everyone in the country, but also for posting them on ILE to prove that it does not matter anyway. soz"

A colleague in this office worships Clarkson, i think i may have to kill him before the week is out.

if i end up learning to drive within the next two years it will totally be his fault.

Dom, what the Number One song would be if Clarkson were PM? (No Status Quo please?)

doesn't clarkson like curved air or something?

He's also got love for the Doobie Brothers

He was on desert island discs a few years ago (he came across as surprisingly unassholish) the only thing I remember him choosing was something off "Dark Side of the Moon". It was old-school Q-readerish stuff for the most part, maybe there was an ELP track?

He was very good on Desert Island Discs. His actual desert island discs notwithstanding.

solsbury hill is a great song

Not as good as Cameron's premier choice of Ernie, though, or indeed the single that Peter Gabriel wrote for Charlie Drake.

Jezza was obviously trying to use the song titles to get a secret message across to Sue Lawley, the dirty bitch!

I woke up out that coma two thousand and one
'Bout the same time Dre dropped "2001"
Three years later the album is done
Aftermath presents "Nigga Witta Attitude, Volume One"
Rap critics politickin, wanna know the outcome
"Ready to Die" "Reasonable Doubt" and "Doggystyle" in one
I feel like 'Pac after the Snoop Dogg trial was done
Dre behind that G series and "All Eyez on Me"
I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Vibe Magazine
Workin with Dr. Dre was a (dream)
I had visions of makin a classic, then my world turned black
like I was starin out of Stevie Wonders glasses
It's kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West
comin back from his fatal accident to beatmakin and rappin
But, we the future, Whitney Houston told me that
And it's gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back

Russian and this 40 ounce, lettin the ink from my pen bleed
Cause Martin Luther King had a (dream)
Aaliyah had a (dream) Left Eye had a (dream)
So I reached out to Kanye and (I brought you all my dreams)
(Cause I love you, I love you, I love you)
(I-highhhhhh love you)

I had dreams, of fuckin, a R&B bitch like Mya
When I saw that ass on the front of that King
Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty things
So I'm in the glass house havin nasty dreams
Good girls never give it up
But anything is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica
Hurdled life's obstacles, found my way through the maze
Then joy turned to pain like Frankie Beverly and Maze
Used to dream of bein +Unsigned Hype+, 'til I was crushed by Dave Mays
Almost let my pen fall asleep on the page
Daydreamin yesterday, dozin off backstage
I thought I saw Eazy talkin to Jam Master Jay
So I walked over, heard Jam Master say
"It's a hard knock life, then you pass away"
They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide open
Cause a dream is kin to your last breath

(chorus)

The dream of Huey Newton that's what I'm livin through
The dream of Eric Wright, that's what I'm givin you
Who walked through the White House without a business suit
Compton had jheri curl drippin on Ronald Reagan's shoes
Gave Mike Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues
Started off with Whoo Kid, then I start blazin Clue
It was all a dream like Big said it'd be
Don't sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality
Rap phenomenon, defyin the rules of gravity
Studied all the classics, start revisin my strategy
Cause Marshall Mathers made it, Curtis Jackson made it
Head in the clouds, wonderin where the hell Marvin Gaye went
How do I say this - I'm livin for my son
but I can't figure out, why I'm at my temple with this gun
Wake up to a Jesus piece like a catholic nun
The war to be a rap legend, has just begun

(chorus)

This song is dedicated to Yetunde Price
The sister of Venus and Serena Williams
who was slain during a gang shootout in Compton
Sunday, September 14th, 2003 - rest in peace

(I brought you all my dreams)
(Cause I love you, I love you, I love you)
(I-highhhhhh love you)

one month passes...

'He may know motoring laws inside out, but Jeremy Clarkson clearly has trouble sticking to them. The loudmouth Top Gear host was snapped doing 70mph along the middle lane of a busy motorway while chattering away on his mobile phone....When the Mirror confronted the grumpy star about his dangerous stunt, he denied being in the car. But shown the photo, he spluttered: "Er, that isn't a phone." He then slammed the door of his Oxfordshire mansion and bellowed: "Look, I write a column for another newspaper...I'm not allowed to talk you" -

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 12:47 (sixteen years ago) link

"dangerous stunt" surely a typo?

Neil S, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 12:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, they meant to write "cunning".

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link

I can imagine this couple telling tales in the play ground. Even if it was Jeremy it's no big deal and they should respect his privacy, instead of behaving like children.
