Richard Hammond is not dead (he’s on Amazon Prime)
“I thought Richard Hammond had died.” says Jeremy Clarkson on the Daily Star’s cover. No, Clarkson, he’s just not on the telly as much, having moved from the BBC to Amazon Prime.
For those of you not in the know. Hammond was in a car crash. No, it wasn’t the car crash that put him in a coma a few years ago. And it wasn’t the Top Gear car crash – that was Chris Evans. This car crash was when Hammond destroyed a “£2million electric car” while filming The Grand Tour show.
He’s alive.
But how much was that car worth? The Sun, Mail and Mirror all agree that the car was worth £2m. But was it? The Times says it was worth $1m, which a lot of money for a customised milk float, but a lot less than £2m.
The car was a Rimac Concept One, an electric car. You can buy one for $980,000. You can buy the one Hammond was riding in for less.

Jeremy Clarkson suspended over fracas following hullabloo, brouhaha and imbroglio
A resonably priced fracas
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson is on gardening leave. He’s been suspended by the BBC “following a fracas” with a producer. Yes, a fracas. Not a brouhaha. Not a kerfuffle. And most certainly neither an imbroglio nor a tawdry hullabloo.
Last year Clarkson was given a warning when he appeared to say “nigger” while filming. It’s something he denies.
The full BBC statement runs:
“Following a fracas with a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation. No one else has been suspended.”
The BBC seem to realise that without Clarkson, Top Gear is an expensively priced lame duck. Richard Hammond and James May, Clarkson’s sidekicks, nay his abettors, are free to work but the show will not be broadcast this Sunday.
Taxi for three…

Jeremy Clarkson And The Repton School Rapes – Roald Dahl And C.B. Fry Not Linked
The Times has a story on alleged rapes at Repton School in Derbyshire. A teenager has been arrested.
But that’s not enough. This story of sex crimes needs the vital angle: the celebrity.
A boy of 17 has been arrested on suspicion of committing two rapes at Jeremy Clarkson’s former 16th century boarding school.
Jeremy Clarkson is not helping the police with their enquiries…
Other notable Repton old boys with nothing to do with the allegations are: Roadl Dahl, C.B. Fry, Nick Raynsford…
Top Gear Race Row: BBC Velly Solly For Calling An Asian Man A Slope
ON Top Gear’s colonialism-in-a car-style trip to Myanmar, Jeremy Clarkson looked at the bridge her and his two sidekicks had built over the River Kwai (did you see what they did there?) and observed the “slope” on it.
The show’s executive producer Andy Wilman says it was a “joke referencing both the build quality of the bridge and the local Asian man who was crossing it”.
He is velly solly for an offence caused. It was all done accidentally on purpose, maybe.

Manx Pratt Jeremy Clarkson loses human rights claim to Isle of Man path
IT’S just gotten that little bit easier to see Jeremy Clarkson shagging. Clarkson’s wife, Mrs Frances Clarkson was of the opinion that a public footpath close to their Ieel of Man home was breach of their human rights. Their property resembles a lighthouse.
But Deemster David Doyle preferred to protect the “rights and freedoms” of the great unwashed. The path stays open to the public.
The BBC reports:
Mrs Clarkson said the couple would not be making any comment about the decision.

Jeremy Clarkson offends elephant charity
GUESS what? Go on. Guess. Yep, that’s right, Jeremy Clarkson has gone and said something offensive that has offended people looking to be offended.
Clarkson said on Top Gar that a Japanese car/camper van hybrid was like “people with growths on their faces”. He then did schoolboy impression of the Elephant Man, or any other spazmo, or Jeremy Clarkson waking up.
“You know sometimes you meet someone and they have got a growth on their face and it is bigger than their face … one of those really ugly things.”
Pro lickspittle and Top Gear co-presenter Richard Hammond took his cue and called the vehicle the elephant car.

David Cameron get Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s
ANYONE else suspect that David Cameron sees Jeremy Clarkson’s schtick of saying mildly offensive non-PC things in a loud voice as a way of reaching the people who perceive a loss of free speech in modern life and reassuring them that he understands?
In an interview with the Telegraph, Cameron said of shadow chancellor Ed Ball’s appearances in the House of Commons:
“But I’m very bad, in the House of Commons, at not getting distracted, and the endless, ceaseless banter, it’s like having someone with Tourette’s permanently sitting opposite you.”
Cameron is talking to the Tory voters who might think he’s soft. His words are not accidental. They echo the studied offence of Clarkson, who aims to be the voice for the man blessed with common sense who sees through the PC bullshit. David Cameron has contracted Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s, a strain of the illness that causes the victim to say non-PC things to a deadline.

Jeremy Clarkson, the EDL and a liberal anti-racist Daily Star
JEREMY Clarkson is in a “NEW RACE ROW” says the Daily Star, the paper that until recently supported the English Defence League and warned us of Muslim only toilets in Rochdale. Has Top Gear presenter Clarkson been not racist enough?
GOBBY Jeremy Clarkson stormed into another race row last night after making fun of drowned Chinese cockle pickers.
Is that racist of just offensive? John Ward adds:
And his latest outburst came after the Daily Star Sunday discovered he had posed for a snap with the leader of the racist English Defence League.
Is that the same EDL the Daily Star said 99% of its readers would pick at the ballot box?
The 51-year-old was slammed after joking about dead Chinese immigrants in his regular newspaper column. He tastelessly compared synchronised swimmers to the 21 cockle pickers who were killed in rising tides in Morecambe Bay, Lancashire, in 2004.

Jeremy Clarkson And Eamonn Holmes’ Sense Of Humour Bypass
EAMONN Holmes, Sky News presenter and part-time This Morning host on ITV, says of the Jeremy Clarkson advertorial that all public sector strikers should be shot:
“We’re not al easily offended these days. But some people are very easily offended these days. Some people know their rights theses days.”
Holmes says anyone who can’t laugh has had a “sense of humour bypass“.
This would be the same Eamonn Holmes who sent, via his lawyers, a letter of complaint to the BBC after a series of sketches about him on Jon Culshaw’s The Impressions Show.
Using the catchphrase “I was fierce hungry, so I was”, Belfast-born Holmes was depicted by Culshaw eating a sofa, a jockey, and a vase of flowers…

Jeremy Clarkson Catches Fire Up A Chimney
BBC presenter and taxpayer-funnded worker Jeremy Clarkson plugs his book on BBC TV’s The One Show – another seasonal book with the image of a grumpy middle-aged man on the cover – and The Times, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Daily Star, Daily Mirror, The Sun, The Independent and the Guardian all lead with news of Jeremy Clarkson being sort of worry for saying that striking public sector workers should be shot.
Yes, indeed, the PR drive has not been a total success: the Daily Express lead with:
“MILLIONS AFRAID TO TURN ON HEATING”
In case they burn Santa in the chimney and grumpy dad doesn’t get his Jeremy Clarkson book…

Jeremy Clarkson Is Raped And Shot In The Face In Joke Taken Too Far, Say Some
JEREMY Clarkson says of the striking public sector workers:
“I’d have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. I mean, how dare they go on strike when they have got these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living?”
He does not say who would shoot them, but we imagine it would be winners of the Clarkson Lottery or members of the Emma West Twitter Hunt. Or Richard Hammond, Clarkson’s chief lickspittle on Top Gear. No, he wouldn’t do it. He’d just agree with Jeremy that it should be done and snigger. The killer would be James May.

So, Alexandra Hall, What’s It Like To Have Sex With Jeremy Clarkson In A Reasonably Priced Car?
JEREMY Clarkson and his wife Frances once sat on a super-injunction that prevented his ex-wife Alexandra Hall from ever talking publicly about her life with the Top Gear presenter and Sunday Times columnist. This was not to save Hall the infamy of being that woman who had found the pre-fame Clarkson sexually attractive and had had intercourse with him, rather it was to gag Hall from making claims that Clarkson was sleeping with her behind his wife’s back.
This all follows the false rumours that Clarkson had been shagging Jemima Khan – the intern and minted daughter of late money man James Goldsmith intern who recently became the anti-nepotism, equal opportunities campaigning New Statesman’s associate editor.
Responding to the Khan story, Clarkson wrote a newspaper columns in support the new injunctions, which are brought on the basis of European human rights legislation. As he said:
“It is said only the rich and famous can afford a gagging order. But only the rich and famous ever need one.”
Once again, as with Clarkson’s BBC colleague Andrew Marr, the rich journalist would seek to gag the press.
Now Clarkson is of the opinion:
“Injunctions don’t work. You take out an injunction against somebody or some organisation and immediately news of that injunction and the people involved and the story behind the injunction is in a legal-free world on Twitter and the internet. It’s pointless.”

Will Smith And Jenny Cannybody Lose Super Injunction Fight: Spoilt Rich Bastards Got Theirs First
JENNY Cannybody, 30, of Scotswood Road, Newcastle upon Tyne is never likely to get the superinjunction she craves to stop the exposure of the fact she is having her bones humped to breaking point by Will Smith. (No not that one).
This Will Smith is, as fable has it, a 42-year-old North Shields butcher and, according to Jennifer in a Newcastle’s Bigg Market pub rest room tête-à-têtes with her mates, likes a good time, has a bit of brass and knows how to wield his pork sausage the right way. (“If you know warra mean, like”)

Does Jeremy Clarkson Have Only Half A Scrotum?
JEREMY Clarkson the likeable gang leader of TV’s Top Gear, has written of his apparent dislike of philanderers. Only, the Mirror says he might well be one. It introduces us to his alleged mistress Phillipa Sage:
TOP Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has been cheating on his wife with a pretty blonde during an international tour with the show.
Father-of-three Clarkson, 50, has been betraying his loyal wife of 18 years Frances in a brazen, ongoing affair with a work colleague.

Jeremy Clarkson’s A Funny Foreigner At His Home On The Isle Of Man
JEREMY Clarkson has a holiday home on the Isle of Man. Anorak can’t put his finger on it but that seems to say much about the Top Gear presenter and professional bloke.
The Isle of Man is a British Crown Dependency with its own parliament for matters domestic. You’d imagine that anyone born there would want to get off as soon as possible, and anyone else would only want to get on the island if they were lost, looking for some version of a bygone Britain or a place to stash their filthy lucre and mentally negligible relatives.

Truckers Linked To Serial Killings
IN the US, the FBI is forming a database that links long-haul truckers and serial killings.
Anorak readers will recall this comment by BBC presenter Jeremy Clarkson on truckers:
“What matters to lorry drivers? Murdering prostitutes? Fuel economy? It really is a hard job and I’m not just saying that to gain favour with truck drivers. There’s so much to do. “You’ve got to change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror… murder a prostitute. Change gear, change gear, murder.”
