Jeremy Clarkson of 'Top Gear' calls out the radical left's attack on normalcy and free speech

[Excerpted]

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."

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).

I believe BBC axed the show after Clarkson had a dust-up with the show's producer. This was the last straw as Clarkson had a past full of pissing off people (many of whom deserved it).

That said, I find him hilarious and imagine he'd be good craic during a night on the piss.

If you go to Beaulieu, the national car museum located in Hampshire, you can see many of the Top Gear cars on display.

Jeremy Clarkson is a rightist-rabble-rouser in his own country where the slightest idea of freedom is considered too extreme.

Mr. Clarkson is still a socialist. In America he is considered a limousine liberal.

He can leave at any time. He spoke his mind in a country that doesn’t allow it.

His spiteful words and clear misdefinition of American culture leaves him little room in my own mind.

Richard Hammond however loves America.

Jeremy Clarkson says that Richard Hammond is an American because he loves cheese.

Jezza is automotive journalism’s Don Rickles. He talks smack about everybody, even the people he likes. That’s his schtick.

You’re nobody unless Clarkson has dissed you.
