Jeremy Clarkson, t*sser.

I saw in Saturday's Sun how a poor girl recovering from cancer had her hair set alight by school bullies as her face was disfigured. Turn to the page before and Clarkson has written about BBC shows to be axed and writes "Anyone who votes for QI, I will personally come round to their house and set their hair alight."
Bad editorship, bad unintentional taste or simply Clarkson being a t*sser? You decide. :o

It's the editor who decides where stuff is put. Clarkson probally didn't / dosen't know what was on the page next to his coloum. He write his bit and sends it in. Job done.

More the fault of The Sun editor. The amount of times they have done stuff simular to this before

Having met the man, and knowing many people who have worked with the guy, I'm happy to say, off-air, Jeremy Clarkson is a complete and total tosser. Jay, I respect on air you're more than welcome to believe the blokes a legend, but you must trust me that behind the scenes he's an egotistical sexist arrogant git, who is no nicer than an enema being inserted up your arse hole.

That's not challenging on such a popular site where the thread is ninth down the list. Guilty, as charged.

I don't think you're the only person in the world who's ever met him, yet I think you're in the minority with your opinion of him.

Whilst I respect your right to have that opinion, I would have to totally disagree you you and say that I've always found him completely the opposite of what you think.

As for the original discussion point for this thread, the positioning of the Sun article, that has to be totally down to the paper's editor and nothing to do with the contributor concerned.

I'm grateful that for once a member with a differing opinion can respect someone holding an opposing view.
