Again, why would I watch a cunt like Clarkson on telly? Do people not viscerally react to people they don’t like when they come on the telly or radio and have to switch over?
That said, I do remember as a student in London in the late 70's/early 80's when a bit bored/out of money, we did sometimes tune into Brian Hayes for the novelty of 'shock-jock' style rudeness to dumb callers.
Yep, future minister, right there.
The answer to that question is No, that's not how most people react at all. Why would you expect them to do that? The man comes across as a bit of annoying plonker (one of the things that makes him funny tbh). For what reason do you dislike Clarkson enough to switch over when he comes on? Have you met him? has he inflicted personal harm on you? I get your not a fan (fair enough not everybody is) but it seems strange to me that someone you don't know and hasn't directly affected you can cause intense dislike.
Christ, there's loads of people I feel like that about. And you're saying this on an election thread too!
Well not really. I feel the same about Starmer and Streeting etc too if that helps.
I feel very much the same as Orang Utan on this one tbh.
Journalist. Well he was anyway.
Pub bore and legend of his own lunchtime John Sweeney otherwise known as Pootle Flump
Isn’t that what danny la rouge cooks on New Year’s Day following his granny’s recipe?
He used to work on the Observer/Newsnight etc doing investigative stuff. Wrote a book on Martin Bell's campaign against Neil Hamilton.
I attended a talk on Scientology at Conway Hall by John Sweeney some years back.
He got badly and I mean badly stung whilst working with Hope Not Hate on a Panorama documentary about Tommy Robinson. He was set up to have lunch with Lucy Brown an on-and-off ally ( now totally off) of Robinsons. Sweeney was after some dirt and his lunch with Lucy Brown was covertly recorded by her. The footage released in Robinson’s video ( if you remember he toured with it showing on a huge screen) had Sweeney running up a drinks bill of over £200 , slurring badly and comparing working class people to cannibals from the Amazon., making racist and homophobic remarks and trying to get her to make accusations of sexual assault against Robinson.
Meanwhile in daily telegraph reality
Don't know her tbh. Not read the article as it's paywalled but thought the headline and bit i could read was hilarious
How is that relevant? Some people make your skin crawl because of their personality, behaviour and expressed opinions, regardless of whether they directly affect your life or not.
