ok, face facts...

Clarkson is no idiot - and there's not reaaaly much to be gained by hurling childish insults
at the overpaid high profile media buffoon..

What he is.. is a very shrewd cynical opportunist; and for all his higher education & intelligence,
an intellectually lazy figurehead for the millions of unenlightened bigots and bullies
festering and thriving in all aspects of our great British society.

It's easy enough for us lefties to accuse him of a sinister orchestrated propaganda campaign
against all and sundry that might be potentially discomforting to the vested interests
of our deeply entrenched right wing ruling elite..

However, he does without doubt strategically exploit his powerful position in light entertainment at the BBC,
and in various mass printed media,
to promote an agenda..
reinforcing a pernicious biased dominant reactionary cultural/political ideology.

Should the BBC punish him ?
Many of us would demand his suspension.
Some might even wish upon him the same extreme ultimate terms of 'suspension'
meted out to Lord Haw-Haw for his ill judged broadcasting 'gaffs'...

A dilemna is that "Top Gear" is a very popular TV show even amongst Public Sector workers.
It's one of my wife's guilty pleasures, she couldn't care less about cars,
thinks the team of presenters are complete knobs,
but laughs her self stupid at their weekly antics..

It's just the kind of easy viewing tripe she enjoys to wind down to
after a hard weeks work as an exhaustingly overstressed professional public servant ????

A serious concern is that the Unions and progressive political activists
don't shoot themselves in the foot overreacting to his obnoxious public provocation.
They are in danger of playing into the hands of right wing media ever ready, vigile and eager for any 'stage managed' excuse
to further discredit public sector defenders in any ploy to manipulate mass public opinion.

At the very least we can hope that the mass of public sector 'Top Gear' fans demonstrate their contempt for Clarksons stupidity
by not purchasing any more of his vapid xmas tie-in product
defiantly hitting the toxic fool in his big fat overstuffed wallet....
