TOP GEAR NEWS

Top Gear producer to sue Clarkson Producer punched by Jeremy Clarkson is suing the former Top Gear host and the BBC for racial discrimination.  WTF? Lawyers for Clarkson and the BBC attended a closed-door hearing with Oisin Tymon's legal team at a London employment tribunal on Friday. “Clarkson will be joined by his erstwhile Top Gear co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May on a new show for Amazon Prime, to be broadcast next year.’” The case centres on "verbal abuse" that accompanied a physical attack during which Clarkson struck Tymon in March. Clarkson, who was dropped by the BBC following an internal inquiry, will front a new show on Amazon Prime. The inquiry, headed up by Ken MacQuarrie, found Mr Tymon was subject to an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack". A statement by the BBC said: "We will be responding to this claim, but will not be commenting further at this time." [Full story] After inquiring about the "for racial discrimination" charge that is not further explained, my confidential source suggested it's "because the Americans use the race gambit  with great success these days. There's big money there."

Jeremy Clarkson Does Guns

Tails of the Gun (Hot Linked)          Things That Changed the Wur—rreld Jeremy Clarkson—creator and erstwhile host of my favorite adventure show, Top Gear,  is my favorite talker.  I like him because we share a similar mistrust of  "Progressives;" we share a sense of humor; and he has a voice I can hear and understand without subtitles. Add to that this history of guns (he owns a Tommy Gun! In Britian!) and ... total vidgasm!

Clarkson in charge

not all brits are leftist fops who betray their country                                 Clarkson in Charge I joke often about how, if I were in power, I’d employ police marksmen to sit on motorway bridges picking off people who drive too slowly… I can think of many people who could and should be removed from the scene in such a way that no one can really explain what happened. George Monbiot. Ken Livingstone. Various hardline Muslim fanatics. Most human rights lawyers. Anyone with a rally jacket. People in Babyshambles. People with beards. Anyone with a sign on their desk that says “You don’t have to be mad to work here”, anyone in a jungle in Australia, anyone who claps along to the oompah music at the Horse of the Year Show, and everyone at the Ideal Home exhibition. And: There was one girl we called Butterface. This is because she was ravishingly beautiful in every single respect … but her face, which was that of an eroded gargoyle. Then there was a boy who, because he hadn’t started shaving at the age of 14, was referred to always in the third person as “she”. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this simply wouldn’t be allowed any more. Calling a boy “she” would be an infringement of his human rights and the school would undoubtedly be demoted to the Gola League. The headmaster might even be branded a paedophile and banned from the sports pitches. collected archive
