And he took it in great spirits!

Dare I say because unlike some folk here, Jeremy has a good sense of humour
and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Why is Nelson Mandela a more deserving person.

He is ,after all, a convicted terrorist.

He didn't do 'porridge' on Robin Island for illegal leafleting !

And what is it with all these Christians thinking they are somehow
being virtuous for following the teachings of a convicted criminal?
Perhaps they should all renounce their faith and convert to
Clarksonianism.

I submit that on or about Mon, 12 Sep 2005 19:52:34 GMT, the person
known to the court as Mike Hibbert
made a statement
in Your Honour's
bundle) to the following effect:

For some values of top. He is a bigot, who gets away with being a
bigot by being amusing some of the time, so that a lot of people write
off his more crass statements as misguided humour.

He is not wrong all the time, of course - his piece on Brunel was
quite good.

The pie thrower is a self-righteous idiot imo. Fine, disagree, but show
a bit of class, not to mention intelligence, by making your point in a
way that might actually make a difference to society. She might as well
have stayed at home.

Pie throwing, flower bomb throwing, etc is a form of assault unless the
recipient is a willing party.

if Clarkson threw a pie at an environmentalist?

Does not Mr Clarkson write mass media articles arguing that
cyclists, who may or may not be environmentalists, should be run
over by motorists? A "custard" pie is rather mild in comparison.
However, Mr Clarkson did take it well (probably because he had
planned how to react in a number of likely circumstances).

I think Mr Clarkson gives a very good impression of a village idiot,
but his programme on Mr Brunel was indeed very good. Not enough to
outweigh his more usual mass media tantrums though.
