Clarkson
Apparently Oxford Brookes University want to give outspoken car journalist Jeremy Clarkson an honorary degree. Someone has set up a petition against this on one of the proliferating petition sites out there. This is apparently because of Jeremy's views on "social responsibility and stewardship of environmental and public resources"
Someone posting this to the BNM list has caused Olly to set up a petition against the petition
Having looked at the signatories of the original petition, you could hardly call all of them serious, but I've still put my name down on the petition against the petition. I may not agree with everything Mr Clarkson says, but I like the way he thumbs his nose at the politically correct brigade and is happy to say that, yes, driving V8s is fun!
