Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" fame faces further risk of cancellation over a December column in which he ridiculed former actress Meghan Markle. It appears he has decided to go out swinging, although his target is of much greater significance this time around.
While these leftists may conceal their intentions, Clarkson suggested their impact is far-reaching and unmistakable, citing as proofs the apparent ideological capture of television and radio, big business, and the education system in the U.K.
The former "Top Gear" presenter wrote a comedic column in December stating that he hated Markle on a "cellular level," and — in a reference to a scene from "Game of Thrones" — quipped that he wouldn't mind seeing "people throwing lumps of excrement at her."
Clarkson suggested that the leftists who successfully took over British schools "went fully Pol Pot, doing a comprehensive year-zero job on the curriculum so that kids would know their parents were all racists. Apart from those with 'unconscious bias.' Who were racists as well."
"You probably think, because you don’t know this war is going on, that when you drop little Johnny off at the school gates he’s going to learn the nine times table that day," wrote Clarkson. "No, he isn’t. He’s learning that he might actually be a girl, which is why there are probably tampon dispensers in the boys’ lavatories."
"We’ve now reached a point where the leader of the opposition is so boxed in and frightened that for a while he could not answer when asked if a woman could have a penis," added Clarkson, concluding, "There really is an army with the ability to remove from public life anyone who disagrees with its increasingly militant viewpoint."

Last “TG” I watched, years ago, was Clarkson whining about his 2006 Ford GT’s “alarm system gremlins”.
Pluto TV has a dedicated Top Gear channel.
Fun to watch.
I’ll check the ROKU listings for it. Thanks.
Good for him
Very welcome.
Most of classic TG seems to have held up well.
Pluto is a favorite of mine.
I watch too many reruns of Green Acres and Hawaii Five O.
Jeremy has always been one of those Brits that never did “political correctness”. I like his humor, while I admit some did not and an avid “car” person, with a number of cars in his collection, told me Jeremy’s car show was not a serious car show. Like Jeremy would have, I just laughed, it was supposed to be entertaining after all.
Woke is dying
Season two of Clarkson’s Farm starts 10 February. I will definitely watch. Funny as heck he really does try to be a great farmer.
He doesn't suffer himself lightly either. So, he does what he will and would give a knuckle sandwich if he needed someone to push off.
He hasn’t been hosting TG for years. The whole team quit over some other kerfuffle and now they have their own show on Amazon Prime, called “The Grand Tour” (and several offshoots).
“So, he does what he will and would give a knuckle sandwich if he needed someone to push off.”
IIRC Jeremy gave a knuckle sandwich to Piers Morgan in ‘04...
As big a Top Gear fan as I am, their Grand Tour just wasn’t that interesting.
“Last “TG” I watched, years ago, was Clarkson whining about his 2006 Ford GT’s “alarm system gremlins”.”
In the last episode i watched he complained that the Corvette he was testing was “plastic”. Of course, it was a far better performance value than the euro trash “super” cars.
For a guy who used to work for the government (BBC) he is the opposite of WOKE. Sometimes he is a meat head but he almost never fails to amuse.
W.O.K.E. = Wrong On Knowledge Everytime
I think a great business idea would be some sort of a Top Gear/Grand Tour vacation company.
You get a $1000 car and some sort of a plan to get to point B through some various challenges along with two other “vacationers.”
“Pluto TV has a dedicated Top Gear channel.”
Thanks! I didn’t know that.
Loved British Top Gear. Best episode was The Ambulance Challenge.

My favorites include lorrying, Range Rover versus the Challenger, the Hi-Lux, and the Germans.
