Default OT- Clarkson Joins The Burka Debate

I can’t see young Muslim men (i.e. the dodgy ones) will be
particularly offended by this besides they are all petrol heads and
therefore adore Clarkson.

Remember, one of the few worldly pleasures open to faithful young men
is the motorcar.

That is prior to reaching nineteen then getting to marry their
cousins.


Alternatively they can blow themselves up in a supermarket, taking
women and infants with them. The brave soldiers of allah then have 72
virgins to schtupp.

Personally, as a train spotter, who knows which side of the war
against the motorist he is on, I was never going to warm to Clarkson.

However, as I survey the long long lsit of the po-faced, self-
righteous, control freak left (that would control every aspect of our
lives) that he has upset to the point of explosion; I find he has
rather grown on me.


The left in a nutshell: Conrol freaks.

Every family has its black sheep! I understand heavy drinking is
becoming a serious problem. I would question if there is a "top down"
solution to it. Education might work better than control.

Yes, it's too expensive.

I'm all for top down solutions. Better than that cold continental bottom
fermented solutions.
