Jeremy Clarkson and Aussie fires.

[Tinkerbell456]

Jeremy Clarkson ha s apparently written a column about the bushfires here in Oz. He apparently feels that God hates Australia, so he’s burning it. He feels that all Australian animals want to kill people ( forgivable view, but untrue. Mostly!) . He feels that Australia is too dangerous for human habitation. Okay, normally I enjoy Jeremy’ refreshingly un-pc, tongue in cheek humour. He does go too far sometimes and he has stepped way over a line here. People are losing their lives and homes. How this can be a topic for humour is beyond me. I know the man can be bigoted, but so outright insensitive?

He is a tit of the greatest magnitude- hopefully more people will realise this after this stunt and stop giving him opportunities to publish his outdated, bigoted and rude comments.

He’d be wise to avoid Australia next time he wants to sell his books or whatever.

he doesn’t give a monkeys about anything. Huge bellend who spews bellend things.

YANBU to think this is appalling.

YABU to think Okay, normally I enjoy Jeremy’ refreshingly un-pc, tongue in cheek humour.

It’s because of this opinion that he has ramped up as far as he has.

That's disappointing after he seemed to have a brief moment of clarity regarding climate change on a recent Grand Tour episode.

Well, you make a good point lborgia. I have definitely changed my opinion of him.

But Jeremy Clarkson has made a career of this kind of insensitivity. I'm honestly confused why you would be shocked that he said that.

Is this a case of "but he was being atrociously insensitive about other people before"?

Omg this guy is a first class wanker.
I hate him even more now!
God should fucking burn his ass

Yep, he has never been exactly sensitive it’s true, but I don’t recall him ever being quite this crass.

Clarkson and his ilk (Hopkins et al) build their careers on shock value. They don't care if its bad publicity so long as it gets them trending.

I have never been able to understand the popularity of this wanker. There is a time and place for this mentality and it’s not when people and animals are burning to death.

Is this a case of "but he was being atrociously insensitive aboutotherpeople before"?
Nailed it.

Burma, Vietnam, Argentina... Ooh, you naughty edgy un-pc man, you.

Australia. Oh, what? how could you Mr Clarkson? you've gone too far this time

Is it this column?

Where does it say that God hates Australia? I can't find that in the article.

Where does it say that all Australian animals want to kill people? He mentions a few animals but he only says this about some snakes.

It does say that it's too dangerous for human habitation. That's his entire argument. It's a stupid and tasteless argument but it's what I would expect from the Sun. I think you are being unreasonable to look for intelligent comment in it.

Looks like the article. No I hadn’t actually read it, but a précis on a news site. You’re right, it doesn’t say God hates Australia- bit of a misquote there on my part probably.

He is still an insensitive boor.

OP articles like this are written to generate comments on social media and you've fallen into the trap. Why would you want to waste your time on it?

I wonder if he changes his style of invective for the Sun.

I think I used to enjoy getting aerated at his columns when we took the Telegraph (although it could have been the Times^) before he just became too tiresome for me.

He's always been a cunt. Why do people give him headspace?

Jeremy Clarkson is irrelevant.

How he still gets work after punching some poor sod, while at work, and when drunk, is beyond me.

Let alone all the people at the time going yay!

Weird.

He's a complete twat.

I haven't read the article this is my opinion based on his previous form!

I've read the article kindly provided by SuckingDieselFella, and it reads like vintage Clarkson, except he has indeed simplified his prose for the Sun. No new depths have been reached.

That's disappointing after he seemed to have a brief moment of clarity regarding climate change on a recent Grand Tour episode.

I saw that, we were amazed to hear him say it tbh.

Is there a link to this column?

Who are the 11% who think he's OK? Presumably JC PR people if they even exist.

Genuinely concerned about those 11%.

He’s an obnoxious twat,always has been.
