Great Rant from Jeremy Clarkson

[Paddy]

His points are well made with the use of humour, irony and extravagant metaphors. The point about Jeremy Clarkson is that he winds people up who take what he says at face value. Mandelson is an unpleasant self serving slime ball who like all other NL politicians put their own agendas ahead of the people who vote for them.

Well said DA!

At least he's popular, more than can be said of you snaw.

Incisive wit as always DP.

Hislop does it better. Agreed about Mandelson, obviously.

I think you'd struggle to find anyone who didn't agree about Mandelson.

Hislop doesnt do it better- he is awful. he says something that he thinks is funny and then puts a smug self satisfied little smile on his horrible little face, and looks around expecting everyone else to either laugh or applaud.

Irony is not really Clarkson's strong point otherwise he'd recognise that his money has been made off the backs of the taxpayer (via the BBC licence fee).
So his slagging off other public-sector parasites is a bit rich.

He could quite easily have made the money from any production company- likewise jonathan Ross- which is why they are (quite rightly)- paid so much.

I think we have a fundemental difference of opinion here.

For my money Hislop is in a totally different league from Clarkson. For one he's clever, something you could never accuse Clarkson of ...
