Re: Clarkson for PM?
I think along with the vote there should be a basic iq test, if you fail you cant vote.

not a viable way, so i think the age of voting should be looked at, the exeptions i would make to that would be the "armed forces".

I think I'd rather have Maggie back, whom I loathed and detested, than that self-opiniated, public school educated, Yorkshire ******, as Premier of this country.

Nothing.

But it gives us a superiority complex.

All education is wasted on those unfortunate enough to be born on the eastern side of the Pennines.

Sorry, I forget you are from Yorkshire.

I think of you more as Harwood Red International, rather than Harwood Red Ecky Thump.

Found this, which is quite funny.

As A Dodo: Jeremy Clarkson 1960-2006


For all the people that've voted for him, don't forget he's a die hard Tory, and he'd have most of you doing National Service or sweeping the streets before you can say stone washed denim.
