Default Clarkson again...

Apparently he can't say anything on the opposite side of the planet without offending people

Quote:
Scottish politicians have reacted angrily to comments made by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson about Gordon Brown.

Speaking to journalists in Sydney, the presenter reportedly called the prime minister a "one-eyed Scottish idiot".

Gordon Banks, Labour MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, said the remark was "unforgivable". Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray also criticised Clarkson.

Jeremy for PM

It's just politicians wanting to get their names in the press.

I thought we were entitled to our own opinions?

Must be a quiet news day....

Two questions:

Has GB got one eye? Yes
Is GB Scottish? Yes

Sooo that means the only thing MP's have to argue about is if GB actually is in fact an idiot.
