How’s this for a slap to the face with the What the fuck are you smoking? bat?

“Most people here [in Scotland] are proud that the prime minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis.”

Really?!? Is anyone willing to claim responsibility for this half-witted, ideologically-blinded and amoral twat? And how could anybody think that he’s the ‘right person’ to get the UK through anything? Yes, he got us into it,but that doesn’t meant hat he knows how to retrace his steps and get us out again…

Also, why is anyone getting at all worried about this sort of thing?

The controversial presenter compared Mr Brown to Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, shortly after Mr Rudd had addressed the country on the severity of the global financial crisis.

According to The Australian newspaper, Clarkson said: “He [Rudd] genuinely looked terrified. The poor man, he’s actually seen the books.

“[In the UK] we’ve got this one-eyed Scottish idiot.

“He keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world and we know he’s lying, but he’s smooth at telling us.”

For a start, this isn’t anything that Clarkson hasn’t said every episode of Top Gear for years. And to follow up, it’s the truth. Well, except for the smooth bit; I’ve seen roads in Cavan that are smoother than him…
