to boycott Amazon for hiring Jeremy Clarkson

Top Gear spent YEARS promoting dangerous, antisocial attitudes.
Cars AREN'T toys. When they are misused, people can get KILLED.
It seemed wrong that the BBC seemed to promote this idea that motorists are "above the law" with no concern for the dangers in residential areas caused (parents afraid to let their kids play out); wrong to promote the attitude that the best car, driver, driving is the FASTEST with no concern for the young drivers who kill themselves (and others) by driving too fast.

How, why did the BBC get away with it for so long?

Why has AMAZON now given Clarkson a new home and, no doubt, an opportunity to enrich himself still further while promoting attitudes that will surely cost lives?

He's a thuggish jumped up knobhead who wears the other two like hebephrenic glove puppets.

HerRoyal you can get Amazon Prime via a Fire Box (£79 but good power for gaming) or a Stick (£35, perfect for just watching shows and movies but not for gaming). Both of which you plug into your TV. Or you can access automatically by buying a Smart TV. We pay £5.99 a month but you can pay £79 a year if you also want free next day delivery of parcels and other perks.

You can also access Netflix on Amazon Fire devices though still have to pay separate Netflix subscription.
