BBC motoring commentator does it again
Jeremy Clarkson has a huge following among car lovers and delights in being "incorrect". His comment below is about the British Prime Minister
"Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson is under fire after branding Gordon Brown a 'one-eyed Scottish idiot'. The BBC presenter also accused the Prime Minster of lying, in the comments reportedly made in Australia where he is hosting Top Gear Live, a stage version of the hit TV show, with fellow presenter Richard Hammond.
Mr Brown lost his sight in one eye after an accident playing rugby as a teenager.

His comments will rightly be taken as humor but a lot of Scots are still offended, apparently. Since Brown IS in fact a Scot, it is rather hard to see why. Is it supposed to be a secret? Do they think that Clarkson said that ALL Scots are one-eyed idiots?

I think the Beeb’s concerns are that idiots will be offended by Clarkson having Gordo included in their lot.
It's Britain, for Christs sake. Who cares!
Well, better a one-eyed Scot than a one-eyed trouser snake.
I'd be annoyed too if I were a Scot and people reminded me that Gordon Brown is one too...

Geez, what's the big deal??
I like the Scotch......Neat!
PS: Gordon's da dropped the "E" from his surname when he immigrated from County Kerry to Scotland.
Yup, the lads pure and simple a dyed-in-the-wool one-eyed, Hibernian eejit!
