You couldn't make it up etc...
Jeremy Clarkson, of all people, using the Human Rights Act, of all legislation, to try and stop people walking past his house ona public footpath.

Good news is, he lost :o)

Bit of Friday irony or something like that.

Sorry for Beeb link.

This makes me want to get a sledge and a team of huskies
and mush it past his house with a "Right to roam, Cockface!" banner down the side.

(I'd rather do it in his favourite 4x4 for sheer irony, but this wouldn't be allowed on a, you know, footpath)

Another celebrity
buying a "dream home" without doing his homework then acting all upset when he finds the proles using a well established right of way.

Madonna could piss off when she did it, and Clarkeson can piss off now.

I will forgive Clarkson everything
if he just carries on punching Piers Morgan in the face.
I think that is a fair trade.

To be fair I never said that I didn't.
It's more that his stock in trade is ranting about interventionist nanny states and bleeding heart liberalism, and then he goes and reverts to the Human Rights Act when he's unhappy about something.

I am conflicted about Clarkson. A part of me reckons it's just a stage persona that he adopts, and that behind closed doors he's actually far more sensible and balanced.

There's a lot of it about.
Roy Chubby Browns wife is black for instance.
Graham Nortons got a wife and kid hidden away in Cork.
Bono is still a cunt though.
