Clarkson- "But the thing is, when I was a kid, and I was mardy and bad-mannered and rude my dad would smack my bottom. And I learned quite quickly to stop it."
Really? Isn't his whole TV persona "mardy and bad-mannered"? Doesn't look like he remembered that lesson too long.
Occasionally I read Clarkson's articles and I think what a waste of a good brain. If he'd stop trying to be the journalistic equivalent of a shock jock I'm sure he'd be a more wholesome read.
Is he really advocating physical abuse against a girl (of whatever age)? He does seem to be. Fundamentally tho I think he just does it to wind people up. As I say, waste of his talent.
It's his "shtick" innit. Doesn't do to take him too seriously but I can understand his frustration with St Greta.
Seems to me at times her look of concerned anger turns into smug.
