What I love about Clarkson is that he has the ability to wind up the right the on lefties with their patronising homourlous and mostly sanctimonious attitudes. This includes the climate change lobby who take themselves so seriously.Originally posted by pjclarke View PostIs Clarkson a clown not to be taken seriously ...?
Or is he an anti-social arse, guilty of condoning violence and the destruction of lifesaving equipment?
I favour the clown verdict myself.
He is in fact a childlike figure who just happens to be very sharp witted and articulate. You just have to look at the people he upsets to approve of himLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

What he says on TV many people say down the pub
and it is quite refreshing to listen to someone who does not wish to conform to the blandness that is expected of people in the public eye.
most of the haters are actually just jealous because he gets paid to hoon about in nice carsComment

La Aduana
The cars had foreign number plates and therefore would have to go through a 'tramite' (a process of great length) through the 'aduana' (customs) which would have taken at least 4 weeks and under the eyes of many bureaucrats - and they didn't see it???
Even if they had a 'fixer' to pay the customs off - they didn't see it either?Comment

He's certainly cracked it in blokey ambition terms of making a pile of cash, upsetting people and hooning about in fast cars
