The Jeremy Clarkson Angle...


Boo bloody hoo, Clarkson's done it again. He's made fun of someone in the public domain. So he called Gordon Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot", so what. He's just having a go, a quick joke for quick laugh. It's hardly a pre-emptive strike in an England vs Scotland race war.

We could even break this down just a little bit.

1. Does Gordon Brown have one eye? Yes.
2. Is Gordon Brown Scottish? Yes.
3. Is Gordon Brown an idiot? Well this one is up for debate. Personally, he's pretty inoffensive. He also DOESN'T make me laugh, when Jeremy Clarkson does. I won't make a total judgement on whether Gordon Brown is an idiot. I'd have to go through 12 years of his career in government and probably come to the conclusion that he is in fact not one.

I love the overblown reaction from Scottish Politicians though.

Some MSP had this to say:
"Such a comment is really a reflection on Jeremy Clarkson and speaks for itself"

You're right there. It proves that he's funny, knows how to get a reaction and you're a kilt-wearing fanny with a bean up your arse doing the exact same thing he expects and wants you to do.

"Most people here are proud that the prime minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis."

Most people where? In cloud cuckoo land? Or in Scotland? Why would people be proud? Is Iain Gray under the misconception that Scottish people wake up and are genuinely proud of Gordon Brown? I don't think they do pal, do ya ken what I'm saying mate? I'm pretty sure they already hated Jeremy Clarkson before this anyway.

Why is everyone so insensitive? So what, he had a dig at hookers and lorry drivers, he had a dig at Australians, and he has a dig at the French and Americans week in week out. But the last two are okay because...well they're just okay. But you can't offend the Jocks and blind people because that really is stupid, whereas the Yanks and Frogs are fair game. I guarantee I know more Americans than hookers and I guarantee there are more Americans than hookers in the world so why is it okay to have a dig at one but not at the other?

You become Prime Minister with the full expectation someone in some place and at any time is going to call you a ''wanker'', or in this case "a one eyed scottish idiot", you deal with it and move on. Which is what I'm sure Gordy has done, I'm sure he's not going to go crying to his mum in the Cairngorms because some sassenach has called him a mean name. Boo bloody hoo, what a load of old Gollywog.

  1. Criticizing Gordon is fair game- but bringing his disability and nationality into the debate is unnecessary. The fact he is one-eyed and Scottish has no baring on his abilities as PM. Clarkson is being a typical English Tory. Boo him.

  2. Took three hours for a Scottish illiterate to come on here and type some incomprehensible garbage; a record surely?
