Hear hear! Any man with a Harrier jet on his lawn has to be pretty sound.
TG is a programme that unashamedly appeals to men's men. Especially because they celebrate on-the-edge racing and risky stunts - a far cry from other cotton-wool BBC programming.

Unless he subsequently put a Harrier there, I believe it was an English Electric Lightning he had on his lawn.

It’s a programme that celebrates stupidity. Hooray, three men are so incompetent that they manage to burn down a caravan. Fantastic, Jeremy Clarkson drove to the North Pole – proof positive that global warming is a lie.

It hadn't crossed my mind that we might want to proudly call such idiocy "a shift to the right".

Mr Clarkson certainly strikes a chord with people of a certain political mentality. Very occasionaly certain people in the media have the ability to 'click' with an audience. Jeremy Clarkson et al fully deserve all the respect they are getting for their brand of 'honest' broadcasting.

The pathetic way they went trolling for a response on the American 'special' turned me off TG for good.

And as for Hammond, if I'd known it was the way to become famous I'd have written my car off years ago!

People have enjoyed burning and blowing things up for thousands of years. We even have a national day to celebrate doing just this, if people enjoy it, why not?
Clarkson represents many peoples view of conservatism not because of his habitual burning/destruction of caravans, but because of his right as an individual to do so, if you dont see that, i think youre missing the point here.

Driving to North Pole wasnt meant to prove anything about global warming or make any political point scoring, it just set out to be the first people to drive a car to the North Pole, a bit of adventurism (and maybe a little marketing for Toyota)

I think your attitude is was clarkson would deem to be that of a 'miserablist', Just dont watch Braniac Science abuse, many more caravans meet their death :)


Must admit, I'm a 101% fan of Clarkson, if only because he stands out as an example of resistance against the whole enviro-fascist dead hand of regulation which seems to currently paralyze the UK.

He sticks two fingers up at the likes of 'real nappy outreach co-ordinators', "diversity monitors" and other sad quangocrats [always funded at the expense of the taxpayer] - long may he do so!

If Cameron et al want to truly succeed in their quest-for-votes, they should look to the likes of Jeremy Clarkson - embrace the upcoming 18-25 demographic [who want to be able to afford a nice comfortable fast car] and once-and-for-all drive a stake through the heart of tax-the-aspirational Greenpeace Zak-Goldsmith levelling-down-to-carbon-neutrality econonsense.

Astra/Mondeo-man doesn't want to pay £500/year car-tax, believe me!

"Astra/Mondeo-man doesn't want to pay £500/year car-tax, believe me!"

And no such proposal is on the table.
