Default Top Gear

Clarkson and his fellow presenters have recently occupied their time by handcuffing themselves to buses (At Hammersmith Broadway bus station) while shouting slogans about the pollution etc. generated by buses when compared with private cars. They encouraged passers by to use cars rather than environmentally unfriendly buses.

The BBC have said that their actions were a response to similar protests by members of Greenpeace and other green nutter organisations.

I know that the Transport 2000 demands that Top Gear be removed from TV screens met with some interest on here and so thought that you might like to tune in and keep an eye out to see if reports of this protest appear in the show over the weekend.

Just remember that it is actions such as this, and indeed those carried out by some members of this forum, that are ensuring that you are allowed to use private transport at all. With this in mind I would encourage as many as possible to engage in some form of protest in support of keeping your access to your car, should it only be to write to your local newspaper.

Thumbs up

Abdabz,

the point of Hedgehog's post is that if we don't stand up to the sandal wearing, lentil munching green nutters, none of us will have a life worth living!!

Thumbs up to Clarkson

So you'll not be complaining in 5 years when your car's been confiscated & crushed because you did 26mph in the bus lane of a 25mph limited dual carriageway then.

Don't think it won't happen, the lentil munchers are in positions of influence & power all over the globe now & Bliars not averse to a bit of power abuse here & there

The general election was the last chance to defeat the socialist *****.

There is no stopping them now. You get what you deserve.

Abdabz you WILL be on Prozac before us - for we have seen it coming. Ye yet face disillusionment as ye are too young to have turned experience into protective knowledgable cynicism. Being a cynic rarely means dissapointment as it involves having a stronger will to fight THE B@STARDS - for it is written that they are wrong. D >takes hand off bible [and Rioja] and relaxes LOL<
