Jeremy Clarkson moaned about ‘today’s youth’ and these 7 responses really are top gear
Here’s Jeremy Clarkson moaning about young people today in the Sunday Times.
Here’s a taster of what the former Top Gear presenter had to say.
‘Over a lovely lunch on my holiday this year, one of the “old people” around the table said that Britain’s super-slack immigration policy means we are letting an army onto our shores. Well, the mood couldn’t have changed more quickly if she’d said: “I’ve just murdered 14 tramps.”
One of the young people began to sob. Actually sob. And another fixed the old person with a stare made from rage and bile, and explained that everyone from anywhere should be allowed to live wherever they like. And between mouthfuls of padron peppers, I agreed with this, saying that I’d love to live in George Clooney’s house on Lake Como.
This went down badly, so, as the lovely lunch was turning into a bit of a … ‘
That’s enough of that (actually, we have to pay to read more and we’d rather not do that). Instead, lets enjoy these responses instead. Much better.

It may be that they call him racist because he’s saying racist things

That’s the problem with today’s youth. You say something racist and they call you a racist.

Well, that's because you are one Jeremy. You see that's how it works, someone comes out with a racist comment…I don't know saying something like "Mexicans are lazy" for instance and they get called out on it. Really it's not rocket science. https://t.co/AYA2RqagUx

Not everyone was having a go at Clarkson, though.
Obviously there’s never an excuse for violence, but people forget that at the the time his mum was dying, he’d been told he may have cancer and his marriage was breaking down. Violence is never ok, but to just say it was just over cold food does him a huge disservice.

But the person he punched was literally a guy who worked for him. And he’d had nothing to do with those other things. Plenty of people go through all of that and more without punching people. He flipped out over food.
