Yeah, I know I didn't address Al verbatim, (but near enough.)

I am not a trendsetter so don't want to be the first person in history to actually address the words of what somebody said during a debate.

After all, the early posts on this thread debated the media reaction to what the media said Clarkson said, not the context in which he said it. (Taking the piss out of the BBC stance of "in the interest of balance" by sounding as unbalanced as you can get.)

(Which, lets face it, isn't hard for him.)


A few comparisons above between Clarkson and the Johnny Speight character Alf Garnett. I recall the actor playing him, Warren Mitchell, when shouted to in the street how bang on Alf was, he used to shout back "We're laughing at you, not with you."
