Clarkson has gone for a Burton, the Chav population are not happy

Twitter is hilarious at the moment.

If you think his audience is chavs, you don't really what you're talking about.

Poor Clarkson, millions in the bank and millions more fans worldwide.

did i say his entire audience

I shan't shed a tear - I find his boorish antics dull in the extreme; Top Gear disappeared up it's own backside years ago when it stopped being about cars and started being about him and his two fawning acolytes.

Personally, I'd be a bit aggrieved if I'd been loved by a colleague at work and a petition was signed for the aggressor to face no sanction; I guess fans of middle-aged men smashing up cars and mocking foreigners really does have a wide appeal - love is blind!

Fear not Clarkson fans - he'll be on ITV before you can say "Eeny meeny miney mo..."

I'd have thought Sky would be the favourite where he'd be protected from up on high by the Prince of Darkness.
