Jeremy Clarkson: King of ControversyDid anyone watch this? Jeremy Clarkson: King of Controversy explores the inside story of Jeremy Clarkson's most shocking moments over the course of his career. Includes a look at incidents involving Piers Morgan, a producer on `Top Gear', and the country of Argentina. tv24.co.uk/b/rp9mc0-d8lI suppose if you like Clarkson you will like it, if you don't like him, you wont. I liked it, that's because I like the fact that he is a buffoon, a comedian, entertaining and yes, controversial. Yes I watched it. I found it a little disappointing. It was no more than a clip show with inane celebrity commentary. I don't think I learned anything about Clarkson that I didn't already know. Yes, I know what you mean. Ten minutes in I mentioned to Mrs R than rather it being a programme about Clarkson it seems to be a programme about people talking about Clarkson. Still, considering the televisual crap that's on these days, I found it enjoyable. |

It's a bit different when it is a PM or a POTUS calling Mexicans rapists or blacks pickaninnies. Comics and other entertainers can be granted a bit more leeway. Pickaninnies is / was just a word mean 'black child' and Donald Trump never described Mexicans in general as rapists. When did Joe Biden start his comic career? Some time ago? |

Biden gets no more leeway than Trump as far as I'm concerned. He's more of an embarrassment than an outrage though. ''they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists and some I assume are good people'' That was a calculated statement given in a speech to one of his vanity rallies. It's a bit more than one of Biden's geriatric brain farts. |

''they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists and some I assume are good people'' A statement designed to highlight our lack of control. The Donald can be quite a good communicator when he is in the mood. I have no doubt, if your political position is functionally one step away from outright criminal enablement / advocacy, you would probably rather things be put a little more delicately |

Must have been a while back Perhaps Joseph 'He's a riot' Biden was a popular entertainer in comedy clubs and music hall during the twenties |

Viewed in this light a lot of his recent stage performances compare well to Stan Laurel - Biden's act is a bit derivative, but he can certainly pull off that signature baffled expression |
