Is the reason Clarkson's job is safe
something to with the fact that Broon does have one eye, is scotch, and is an idiot?

1. That would be "Scottish".
"Scotch" is whisky.

6. Or it could be...
...that regardless of the fact that he's a pillock, he's also very popular and if the BBC drop him he would most likely just get his own show on Channel Dave and be even more of a gobby RW eejit then before.

Besides, go into most pubs and you will be able to find people willing to say far worse things about Gordon Brown then that. As an example of what Labour are up against (and possibly why he gets on their goats so much) here's the Jeremy Clarkson should be Prime Minister Facebook group, which has 452,396 members.

Compare that to the Labour party on Facebook, which has only 4,971 members.

9. I suspect he has a contract with a big payout clause
Edited on Sat Feb-07-09 07:34 PM by fedsron2us
which will be triggered if he is forced out of his job, just like Jonathon Ross.

Carol Thatcher probably wished she had the same.

The BBC is not covering itself with glory at the moment.
