Clarkson is an unpleasant bully with a large landed estate across which he has tried to extinguish rights of way to keep peasants out.

A telegraph writer, one Delingpole, has tried to defend Clarkson, but I have messaged Delingpole from his website: -

""Your defence of Clarkson is a disgrace. For decades people like you said "Can't women take a joke?" "Can't Jews take a joke?" "Can't negroes take a joke?" Some joke.

A little time watching any of Clarkson's TV appearances (or indeed a tiny bit of research into his landed estate and the rights of way on it) will demonstrate that the man is a self-important bully.

It is time that toadying to such bullies stopped."
