mr slump Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Clarkson apologised for the one-eyed bit indeed not for calling him an idiot we have the right to call politicians idiots don't we I thought it was more interesting that he called him a liar mind you 'one eyed scottish idiot' is all I've heard on the bbc radio 4 + news today the more they make an issue of it the more it gets repeated...priceless Edited February 6, 2009 by mr slump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habeas Domus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 New Labour = New truth Gordon Brown is NOT Scottish Gordon Brown has perfect eyesight Manuels grand-daughter is NOT some tart working in a strip club House prices ARE still going up This is the new truth - its better than the old truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copydude Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 the eye thing is below the belt, but im standing by the idiot comment. I would think the fact that he can't read anything in less 18 point type has a lot to do with his lack of understanding. He isn't able to even scan the Internet. Clarkson put it bluntly, but it probably is the time for plain speaking. How many hours of text information do you take in each day? Gordon probably can't make a tenth or twentieth of that. Yet he's paid more than you. Why do you think he can only cope repeating simple phrases in bold type ad nauseaum? 'TORIES ARE A DO NOTHING PARTY'. These have been written on A3 paper in giant marker felt pens for him. I'm not unsympathetic, but in an information age, he isn't up to the job. And people are noticing.

Minos Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Complaints have been coming in thick and fast about the one eyed, Scottish idiot truism. The RNIB have complained as have various Scottish MPs. But so far no idiots have complained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Loo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Clarkson would be impressed and excited about the SPEED the thread was pulled. and the handling, just the perfect poise as it navigated to the off topic forum, balanced by the skilled finger control of the moderator...or is it the STIG?

'Bart' Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 STIG? Stig? As in "of the dump"? Has anyone started a thread on what the Aussie PM said, the speech that Clarkson was commenting on? With a transcript or mayhap a video link? Now that would be of interest to a lot of people on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RNIB have complained as have various Scottish MPs. But so far no idiots have complained. I like the fact that Clarkson apologized for comments 'about the PMs appearance' - which part of 'one eyed Scottish idiot...lying' relates to appearance?

Too f***ing right, BL. A thread about the man who has lost control of the economy is removed, while an esoteric discussion about traction control (BMW - Mercedes) is seemingly OK. It's getting as bad as the BBC's 'Don't Have Your Say'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
