Forums - General Discussion - Jeremy clarkson for Primeminister

JC - He is a journalist, he mostly drives cars and shouts POWER, he has 2 sidekicks called hammond and may who presnt a show called top gear. He has a real "make Britain great again" attitude that some people like and some hate. He has quite a few vaious political views.

You know what is kinda sad.

When we start talking about US politics, nearly everyone on this board, regardless of nationality, knows the main players and has some opinion.

When we start talking about some other countries politics. Only the people from that country or maybe its direct neighbors know.

Actually, the US visitors, like me, only know our politics.

Anyway, who for wha??? :)

It's like when Britney Spears' sister gets pregnant everybody knows what is going on, but when your sister gets pregnant only her friends and faimly (and certainly not Britney Spears) knows about it. Also I think you overstate foreigners' knowledge of US politics.  "Knowing" nothing more than Bush = Hitler is hardly being knowledgeable.

Anyways, I have no idea who this guy is but he can't be much worse than Brown, Cameron or whatever nut is in charge of the LDP.  If he supports fossil fuel, or especially nuclear, power he'd have my vote if I were British.  Given the green obsession of the main parties Britain's eletricity output will soon match 1st world prices and 3rd world reliabilty.  Then again with the EU in charge now it's not like non-French national leaders have any real control in their countries anyways.

Oh I would really like him then, though I doubt it is possible.



The problem with Jeremy Clarkson is that he really is an idiot.

He is the type of person who never ever grew up.



I love him, he reviewed my car and liked it :)

Jeremy Clarkson is the main one with pubes for hair in this video.

There was also a reference to him in the simpsons once



Jeremy Clarkson. The Enoch Powell of car shows.

Seriously, it's bad enough that he even has a newspaper column. If you've ever had the misfortune to read it you will know what I mean when I say that he is a boorish, ignorant prick with zero understanding of social issues and a complete aversion to the facts. Actually, thinking about it, that pretty much qualifies him for office.

Anyway, if he was the Prime Minister, elections would probably be rigged just like every episode of Top Gear (I'm convinced there is a clause in his contract stating that he always has to win).

If you would genuinely like to see someone like him running the country, my advice is to do the rest of us a favour and NEVER EVER VOTE!



What Munkeh111 said. Entertaining but probably completely rubbish.



^Wow - you really dont like him. oh and you are right every episode is rigged and highly scripted

Congratulations, your understanding of the way the EU works is about as good as Jeremy Clarkson's.

P.S. Despite my comments, I think Clarkson is fine as long as he sticks to subjects that he knows, namely: Cars, World War 2 and stadium rock.
