Clarkson suspended by the BBC

[SteveJ68]

It does seem incredibly important to you. I'm just pointing out the nonsense you are spouting.

 

Burghwallis was a mining community. Folk who were born there in the 1950s usually ended up working down the pit. According to the stats even today folk in Burghwallis have qualification levels below the national average, and earn below the national average wage. Hardly surprising that folk sent their kids to private schools if they could so they didn't end up down the pit.

Private school is not elitist. If you make sacrifices many can afford it instead of foreign holidays. The incentive is that folk who go to private school tend to do better than the national average and earn rather more than the national average wage.

So Clarkson earns enough to see his folk right. Let's be right a half million quid home is pretty small fry. There's hundreds of them around Sheffield.

 

Michael Palin's family lived in one. They sent him to private school. He did OK as well.

What planet do you live on?

What part of ' Personally, I don't care one way or the other what his family's personal finances are ' do you have problems understanding?

 

As for ' it does seem incredibly important to you ' have another look at your post above and take another guess as to which of us it is important to.

 

A statement was made ' Jeremy is a poor lad from Donny ' I responded by pointing out that he was neither poor nor from Donny.

 

Both of those points are true, he came from a village 6 miles from Doncaster and his family were well off in comparison with the majority of the population.

 

Answer three questions, firstly take another look at his childhood home including the pictures of the interior and external views.

 

Question number one, does that house look like the home of a pit worker or a poor man?

 

Question number two, do the houses for sale in this link look as though they are situated in a deprived rundown pit village?

Question three, did Clarkson benefit from coming from a well off family and gain opportunities not available to most people of his generation?

Actually the reference to "Jeremy being a poor lad from Donny" was posted by me as a tongue in cheek p88s take,it would seem obvious to all that Clarkson was not as described in the reference!.......However a warrior from the PC leftie brigade has taken upon himself to make mileage out of said post!....like a Jack Russell down a rabbit hole!.......not suprising!

It was recognised as that by those who have a sense of humour.

Couple of points, If you're referring to me, I'm not a lefty as I regard communists as deranged and unions as a large part of the reason the countries in a mess.

 

Neither am I right wing as I regard them as a bunch of mainly bigoted tossers.

 

Secondly, humour does not translate well on a forum especially if you don't provide a clue such as a smiley, you didn't and have obviously forgotten my reply.

Rock stars, particularly talented ones are supposed to act like that.

 

When Jagger became a member of the MCC I was personally disgusted, but as I always rated the Beatles and The Who above the Stones I survived.

 

Clarksons talent is as a writer, don't know if you've read any of his stuff in the Times but he's good, apart from he spoils it a bit at times by his constant urge to be controversial.

 

As a 'personality' I find him irritating, boorish schoolboy pranks and childish humour do not appeal to me.

 

Obviously others disagree and that is entirely their prerogative.

 

I assume you are attempting to be humorous with the ' poor lad from Donny ' remark?

 

Jeremys mother made a substantial amount of money from manufacturing Paddington bears and the family had money prior to that.

 

Privately educated our Jeremy has never wanted for anything and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

 

His childhood home.

Very nice and not bad for a poor Donny lad.

 

Note the 'attempting to be humorous'

 

Not a particularly good attempt either.

Oh it has become very important to you. So important I bet you stopped in on Paddy's night instead of going on the razz.

Indeed!!!!

[Phanerothyme]

He became a parody of himself 20 years ago. Time he was put out to pasture, or of his misery, or something. People who think he is funny will look back in another 20 years and wonder why, whilst the rest of us will wonder what took you so long.

[Mr Bloom]

Like I was saying.....if you watch the video

 

You will see a breakdown of why Clarkson, overweight and disgustingly ugly dinosaur that he is, is liked by a certain demographic

Just like the school ground bully, who pokes fun at the weak and the vulnerable, he holds office with the empty-headed and easily led

 

Yes, you do sound like one here.
