I'm not Jeremy Clarkson. Let me make that absolutely clear. In fact I care not one bit for pretty much everything he says and does and his attitude, which can be summed up as, "Shut the fuck up, hippie, I'm talking," makes me wish I was a short, black lesbian working-class aristocratic motorphobe, just to be as unlike him as possible.

There are so many women like me. Independent, fierce and strong-minded. We are fashion focussed, we read Cosmo, Vogue, Grazia, Stylist. We are beginning to realise that cars are more than a way to get from A to B and back again. They are an accessory, a massive accessory.

Why the Jeremy Clarkson Twitter Frenzy Shows Computer Don't Make You Clever

I'm not going to ring in the New Year defending Jeremy Clarkson. What concerns me is that the immediacy of social networking is allowing many, otherwise clear-headed individuals to be sucked into frenzies which, if we witnessed them outside our computers, would have us slapping each others' faces to ward off hysteria.

It is so important to hate Jeremy Clarkson for the right reasons. Doing so on ridiculous grounds just spoils it for the rest of us. I say this assuming you do hate him, which I don't recommend. It only encourages him.

Clarkson V. Unison - But it Was the One Show's Grenade That Started the War

At what point, then, did it become an appropriate forum in which to ask Jeremy Clarkson about his views on the Public Sector strikes? Irrespective of whether his remarks were in bad taste, the simple act of asking the question deviated so heinously from the One Show's magnolia-inspired modus operandi that a more poorly thought out line of solicitation would have been harder to find.

When it comes to controversial humour, there can be a thin line between applause and society baying for your blood. Some celebrities, like Jeremy Clarkson and Frankie Boyle, make careers out of it whilst public figureheads should be exempt of it in their ambassadorial roles.
