This week's Quote of the Week, is rather topical, and will be censored for those younger readers.
Anyone in the UK must have been living under a rock if they had missed the public sector strike, followed by an ill-timed joke from Tory posterboy Jeremy Clarkson. There's a debate to be had on whether he was joking (he clearly was), whether he should be fired for it (in an ideal world no, but he should at least suffer the same punishment as Ross and Brand, a precedent set by the BBC) and whether Britain can't take a joke (unfortunately, it's clearly getting to the point where we can't). I don't like Clarkson, I don't enjoy Top Gear and I think he's an arse; but he was clearly just joking.
Anyway, of the back off all this, my friend made the following comment, which made me laugh and I agreed with entirely:
"I always thought Clarkson was a c***, and now everyone will think I'm just jumping on the bandwagon."
Truer and truer.
