I don't have a problem with Clarkson's comments yesterday, since if he thinks he'll have time to get off a single shot before I implement my plans for him, he's even more deluded than I thought.^[1]

There's a timely reminder from Michael White today of what to bear in mind whenever Clarkson takes up the mantle of "mouthpiece of the toiling classes":

[This] is not the lad's first foray into populist rightwing politics on behalf of north Oxfordshire's self-styled media elite, which gathers around Rebekah Brooks' Christmas hearth to roast a few peasants Guardian]

^[1] Note to Clarkson's lawyers: obviously my plans for him consist exclusively of feeding him delicious cakes. And asking him if he's got any more mistresses no-one's allowed to talk about.

It looks like Jeremy Clarkson was involved in a really bad joke (so what else is new) related to the Daily Fail conceit that the BBC are obsessed with "PC gone mad!". To use his prior explanation of this, for every white heterosexual man you need to include one lesbian Muslim. *facepalm*

So in the transcript the One Show team decided to put online:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/dec/01/jeremy-clarkson-one-show-strike
He starts off by saying that the strikes were great because there was no traffic and then justifies his viscious fascist tirade on the grounds of "balance".

What a wally, eh?
