Jeremy Clarkson: A Tory BBC? Everyone I met there in 25 years was flaming red
I know someone who was told to take down his Union Jack because it was “offensive”, and I was asked to remove my poster of Mrs Thatcher because it was upsetting people who walked past. I did, and replaced it with a picture of Kate and Wills, which somehow made them even angrier.
I’ve started watching Clarkson’s Farm on Prime. It’s most delightful. Very regularly, Jeremy Clarkson throws a verbal dig at Leftoids. This makes the show even more endearing!
I absolutely LOVE Jeremy Clarkson … his farm … and his self deprecating humor which he dishes out in equal measure to his critique of, well, everything else. Devilishly clever man … who has THRIVED in a landscape filled with woke weaklings. I believe he is just as important to our conservative backlash as Jordan Peterson and Victor Davis Hansen.
I say this all with the greatest earnestness to my fellow earnest SDA’ers.
He’s the Top Gear host turned farmer? This is a great article. Can he move to western Canada? Thanks for sharing!
Yep. FIRED from doing Top Gear by the BBC. One of the greatest shows, and greatest hosts EVER. But it was something like Adam Carolla’s; The “Man Show” … where they did manly things (strike one). And they didn’t care much for volvos or the cheap subcompact Yugo (strike two). And they routinely invited Rock legends to participate in the fun and mockery of global warming (strike three).

Tried to watch one top gear with the new hosts. It was gay.
Same with the American version.
Wish clarkson’s farm wasn’t exclusive to amazon. Seen most of it through youtube.
Some of the best Top Gear lines:

But his co-host was the worm Jimmy Kimmel.. Ugh!
Too funny Colonialista … but who is the bloody genius who put Gerald on Clarkson’s Farm!?

And ironically … when I was in the 3rd grade in of all places, Santa Clara, CA … I had a neighbor who spoke EXACTLY like Gerald. He spoke a mile a minute of gibberish with a thick Midlands accent … and I never caught more than 2 comprehensible words per paragraph of speaking.
But ohhhhh mommmaaa … Clarkson pokes fun at peoples different ethno-cultural peculiarities… ohhhhh mommmaaa … how bloody insensitive of him.
Actual reason he got fired: he punched a junior producer because he didn’t get hot food when the hotel kitchen was closed.
Either you believe it’s okay for multi-millionaire bosses to punch junior employees with impunity if they don’t like their performance, or you don’t.
Personally, that’s not a standard I want applied generally.
Actual reason he got fired: he punched a junior producer because he didn’t get hot food when the hotel kitchen was closed.
He did far worse to his co-hosts, who forgave his hangry fit.
Grand Tour junior producers likely paid good attention to hot food thereafter.
Exiled from polite society, much like Churchill, Clarkson retired to the country to
re-connect with his roots, by growing wasabi, selling t-shirts, and tormenting by-law producers.
“Actual reason he got fired: he punched a junior producer because he didn’t get hot food when the hotel kitchen was closed.”
Nah, that was just a convenient excuse. Yes Clarkson’s behavior in this case was wrong, but the firing had political motives, they weren’t going to stand his political incorrectness anymore and he gave them an out.
“Tried to watch one top gear with the new hosts. It was gay.”
Pure cringe, and those that came after them and the US attempt. None of it had anywhere near the chemistry as Clarkson, Hammond and May had.
The failed Aussie attempt was even worse! The friend who took me and I walked out of the audience after about 30 minutes of boredom and rubbish…
The entire crew and cast straggled in, after a cold wet day, and was presented with cold food and drink, and with no places open where they could eat or get groceries. Clarkson acted as their representative, to someone who had failed in the basics of his job requirements.
If you think Clarkson was mean, you have NO IDEA what the various Hollywood unions would do in such a situation. The “craft table” is large, sacred, and part of all the union contracts; and woe betide the visitor who even casts an eye upon it, much less nibbles something from it.
If the Tories were serious they would eliminate the TV “license” tax…. but they arent
I emigrated from the UK over forty years ago, at that time the BBC were considered the most staid and conservative broadcaster in the UK. My how things have changed over the years. Even CNN was at one time considered a serious news organization. How about the CBC, same thing there as well. I don’t know much about the media in Oz and NZ, but I would be willing to bet there have been similar transformations over there as well. Probably in Europe as well. All leading western nations have had this happen, and I would imagine that if one were to drill down deep enough, we would find WEF influence and backing to have been the cause. They are insidious and evil. When you can gain control of the media and governments, you are able to manipulate everything that occurs in those countries. The WEF, and their cohort are evil and have plans to enslave us all in a new techno feudal society that they will control. When they have “infiltrated” governments, you can be sure it’s not for the good of our welfare. Governments are not our friends, and have not been our friends for a very long time. If the sheeple don’t awaken soon, we are all screwed, and I mean awaken, not woken!
In 1983 the BBC was very far from staid or conservative. It might have been more reliable than it is now, but not by much, and it was every bit as far left as it is now.
ebt, I would respectfully disagree, however, perhaps my perspective was twisted by having grown up and living there. Either way, I’m glad I left in early 82, and things were good here for a few years, but it has slowly devolved into darkness, and now I’m to old, and really, where else is there to go? I would consider a red state in the US, but we can’t even cross the border (pureblood) and immigration if accepted, would take 8 – 10 years, and I’ll probably, sigh, be dead by then!
I was living there too, and I found the BBC to be distinctly left of the CBC at the time. A saner time then than now on both channels, of course, but still. It was the more noticeable since the BBC was in many ways strikingly better than the CBC.
“Frankfurt School”
Clarkson could be describing almost every institution these days. Rent seeking whores are considered capitalists. DEI infests the corporate boardrooms as well as the public trough “workplaces”. Epistemological mush (ESG, CRT) is found in all mission statements. And universities are into full on cultural revolution and the Great leap forward (into hell). Post modern nihilism is fobbed off as modern thought. Christianity has been effectively replaced with green theocracy. Cohesive western culture has been replaced with multicultural pre-civil war “diversity” and a return to racism under new management. By those standards, perhaps the BBC does seem slightly “conservative”. Both the CBC and BBC should be abolished as the media (and most other areas of engagement) are not legitimate roles of the state.
I always wondered how Rex Murphy could stand working for CBCpravda .? I suppose he was after the generous pension
I don’t believe he is there anymore.
At least the Brits can opt out of paying the yearly “TV License” that funds the BBC. The 30 million Canadians who never watch the CBC pay for it even though they despise it.
Compared to CBC, the BBC would appear right-wing.
Just like Fox News that offer no news about foxes, BBC too is false advertising….
Someone was arguing on Twitter that the cbc was right leaning. Compared to what I wanted to know.
“Someone was arguing on Twitter that the cbc was right leaning. Compared to what I wanted to know.”
I’ve heard the same. They don’t seem to understand that even the mere thought of that marks them as extreme left-wingers (some have convince themselves, somehow, that they are ‘centrists’
When you are that close to being a Communist, then sure…everything else looks ‘right wing’ to you.
When PBS or CBC or BBC presents itself as a career opportunity you are already a communist.. Vegans don’t work at steak houses and conservatives don’t work at public broadcasters..
The public funding model needs to be rethought.. Im not saying these places shouldn’t exist but dear God I don’t want to pay for it..
Pay your own bills…
CBC is the 4F poster girl for the CRTC, the love child of a Batchelor and a Butcher, in the aftermath of
the Vietnam ‘conflict’, when Canada absorbed a huge influx of refugees across it’s southern border.
Prior to that, it was something one could tune into by twisting the antenna when the Wayne and Shushter
show came on.
Macdonald gave us a railway.
Trudeau railroaded us.
The BBC has always been full of Communists. That’s why it’s the background of Orwell’s 1984 (something made more explicit by The Goon Show’s episode “1985”).
But yes, it’s not just majority Communist these days. It’s pretty much all-Commie all the time, even compared to ten years ago.
