Here comes the first apology ...

Publicity stunt. Audacious and superbly orchestrated

Immediately reported and re-reported on all BBC outlets, who even report on each other's reporting of it. Ensuring Top Gear gets headlines in several papers, 2 months before launch. Radio 4 this morning: "Chris Evans has apologised on Radio 2 for...".

The fact that George Osborne tweeted he was disturbed by skidding noises does crack my theory somewhat. Either way, you can bet that Osborne's tweet will be headlne news on all BBC early evening bulletins.

" Wow! Top Gear is out soon! And it's all edgy and semi-offensive, and not politically correct at all ! I can't wait, can you ? "

ok maybe I have gone too far.

You are a cynic realist

Were they cream filled donuts?

What is the minimum distance from the Cenotaph where you can do donuts?

Surely there are more important things to get upset about.

Much ado about nothing, cars drive past the Cenotaph 365 days a year, even on remembrance Sunday the road is only closed for a short period not the whole day.

Viral marketing at its best and the Sun fell for it

Eggsfeckingactly.... Just amanufactured brouhaha purely dreamed up to promote sales of down-market "news"paper. It's just a fecking lump of concrete, no bodies there resting in peace for crying out loud!!!!!!

And Chris Evans is just a part time apologist for all his PR cock-ups!
