Contraverisially, I quite

Contraverisially, I quite like Clarkson. I like watching his stupid antics on Top Gear, which is a funny programme. I think far too many people take what is essentially entertainment, i.e. false, fantasy, unreal, made-up actions and interpret them as serious.He has made a career lately out of being outrageous, right-wing and contaversial. I genuinely don’t think he means half what he spouts, it’s all part of the act.What worries me more than anything is the almost predictable reaction to it. Calling people ‘scum’ etc., is almost as un-thinking as the alledged misdemeanours of Clarkson himself – what seperates someone calling for stirkers to be shot and someone calling for that person to be shot? Hardly well-put criticism is it?I think it is better to ignore the stupidty of these type of comments which only play into the hands of the BBC by stirring the contraversy more and gaining ever more valuable publicity with it.There are bigger, faceless foes out there who are doing more serious damage to the working class and it’s interests to waste time condeming the celebrity charade that passes for entertainment nowadays. And if we must be drawn into criticism of the BBC I would rather that start with condemnation of the bias and appalingly one-sided news reporting of recent times, which has turned ‘Aunty’ into a state sponsored mouth-piece. Far more worrying than the outpourings from a irrelevant Top Gear presenter.
