And he took it in great spirits!

Dare I say because unlike some folk here, Jeremy has a good sense of humour
and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Why is Nelson Mandela a more deserving person.

He is ,after all, a convicted terrorist.

He didn't do 'porridge' on Robin Island for illegal leafleting !

And what is it with all these Christians thinking they are somehow
being virtuous for following the teachings of a convicted criminal?
Perhaps they should all renounce their faith and convert to
Clarksonianism.

Well, the "'porridge' on [Robben] Island", after they dropped the
charges for high treason, was for "sabbotage" and "attempting to
overthrow the government". That seems much more environmentally
friendly to me than leafletting, whether legal or not. On the
other hand, it might have involved ignoring red traffic lights.

Mind you, Clarkson is a genius,

| Shortly before he was assaulted, Mr Clarkson, who lives in
| Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, said: "I do have a disregard
| for the environment.
|
| "I think the world can look after itself and we should enjoy
| it as best we can."

but only as a self-publicist.

For some values of top. He is a bigot, who gets away with being a
bigot by being amusing some of the time, so that a lot of people write
off his more crass statements as misguided humour.

He is not wrong all the time, of course - his piece on Brunel was
quite good.

*sigh* Let me guess, he's not wrong when he agrees with you?

The pie thrower is a self-righteous idiot imo. Fine, disagree, but show
a bit of class, not to mention intelligence, by making your point in a
way that might actually make a difference to society. She might as well
have stayed at home.

Pie throwing, flower bomb throwing, etc is a form of assault unless the
recipient is a willing party.

Can you imagine the furore in the Graniaud (who represent the left that
is oh-so-right as in correct) if Clarkson threw a pie at an
environmentalist?

Does not Mr Clarkson write mass media articles arguing that
cyclists, who may or may not be environmentalists, should be run
over by motorists? A "custard" pie is rather mild in comparison.
However, Mr Clarkson did take it well (probably because he had
planned how to react in a number of likely circumstances).

I think Mr Clarkson gives a very good impression of a village idiot,
but his programme on Mr Brunel was indeed very good. Not enough to
outweigh his more usual mass media tantrums though.

Quite. There's a difference between pandering and representing :-P

Flower bombs eh? Would that be a spray attack?

And the green welly brigade and lycra clad louts regard common assault as
being a responsible activity????

Perhaps it's OK now, to plant custard pies on the faces of lycraclad louts
cycling through red lights et al....... :o)

He is doing rather well financially, as village idiot. Far better, I
suspect, than most of the village idiots on this group.

I'm glad you view terrorism so lightly.
Perhaps you could e-mail your reply to the families of the victims of
the London bombings.
