Jeremy Clarkson says: "This car started out in life as a hybrid. A car for the enthusiasts of armpit hair and brown rice. But as you've probably noticed, it's been tweaked a bit...
...what Mugen have done, they have taken the brown rice and smothered it in pepper sauce."

Ok vote time, if you love clarkson give this thumbs up, if you hate him give it thumbs down.
Bet more people love the bloke than cant stand him, yet in this country, the minority always out shouts the majority. its why we can have a advert banned due to 100 people complaining, yet this country has a population over 62million people. of that 62million, 8million people would rather sit and watch clarkson, Hammond and May, like me lighten the mood.
Sorry but if you don't like the bloke, you have a good old English tradition of turning the bloody channel over.

Clarkson for Prime Minister and restoration of freedom of speech in the UK!! Oust the PC mob, they're eroding our freedom of speech. If it's not PC then you're not allowed to think it or say it!! I'd tie them all up together,sit em in the road and squash them with a steam roller so they became part of the road. I'd then turn the road into the UK version of the Nurburgring and we could all enjoy racing over the top of them. You know where you can stick your political correctness!!!

Clarksons comment about the strikers was actually spot on , i'm 56 next month and i've got to stay at work until i'm 66 with no chance of changing anything
The public service workers seem to think that they are some sort of special case , with complete disregard to the fact that every other worker in the country is in exactly the same boat - Why should they be treated any differently from me ?
Jeremy Clarkson is irreverent and outspoken and absolutely fantastic
If you don't like him then don't watch him on the telly and don't read his articles , keep your sad politically correct ideas to yourselves

Clarkson is a legend. Just because he says what he thinks and doesnt give a s**t about it doesnt make him a w****r. He is a great presenter (of probably the best show on TV and the only one left on that isnt a bludy drama) and he really knows his cars. Talking about expesive mad cars and travelling all around the world is like a man living the dream, its a glimer into a window of a life we would all love. Its entertainment and thats what our licence money is supposed to bludy pay for.
What he said is offensive to some people but its what everyones thinking. What really should happen is not the public sector get less but us mugs who get crap pensions etc that arent guaranteed and work in the private sector, should stand up and fight for better deals like what the public sector have. The only reason they have it is because thats what they did. Now the real f***in* ar**ho**s the PMs and the MPs will try and screw anyone in any sector working class or otherwise into getting nothing so they can line their pockets with more cash. Up clarkson! f**k Cameron! and Thatcher to a shallow grave in the woods!

Where would we be without Clarkson? I am a public sector worker, I wasn't thick enough to take what he said seriously. He is after all, Jezza, just dont take a word he says seriously, enjoy his humour and thats that. Anyone who agree's with everything he says is missing the point too, he will be laughing down his sleave at you too, which is why I for one like him.

This is just for all the people who hate Clarkson.
I don't wish to tell you that you aren't free to do as you wish but what I simply cannot understand is why, if you despise Clarkson so very much (as some of you have so clearly expressed), did you follow a link to an article about him? I mean, did you all "miss-click" or was it that you just wanted to start an argument? You're telling people that they are wrong for liking Clarkson because he is an over-grown child but in doing so are you not just being incredibly childish yourself? I mean, come on. Haven't you all got better things to do than start pointless arguments? Sort it out.
By the way if you read through this whole post then good on you and you have my thanks ;)

Clarkeson is just a TV character, he often says stupid things just for entertainment value; if he was a professional comedian then you'd ignore the substance and merely rate him on a drab to hilarious spectrum. The point that everyboby missed here is the often unjust and unfair way that private sector workers get shafted while many public sector workers (and I use the term lightly) get to screw money out of the country's coffers for providing lack-lustre services! Does anyone actually know a Council worker who seriuously works hard for a living. I do realise that teachers have to deal with some of the most awful kids imaginable but hey they get 13 weeks holiday to get over it along with very good pay and a pension scheme to die for. Why don't they all join us private sector workers for a year and get a proper reality check?
