According to http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090206/tuk-clarkson-labels-pm-one-eyed-idiot-6323e80.html good old Jeremy Clarkson has said “We’ve got this one-eyed Scottish idiot” referring to PM Gordon Brown.
Well, Gordon lost the eyesight on one eye as the result of an accident playing rugby as a teenager.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People said “Mr Clarkson’s description of PM Brown is offensive. Any suggestion that equates disability with incompetence is totally unacceptable”.
Erm, hang on. JC wasn’t equating disability with incompetence. He wasn’t being racist, he wasn’t being blindist. He was doing his usual of stating “facts according to the Gospel of St Jezza”.
Mr Brown only has sight in one eye.
Mr Brown is Scottish.
Jezza feels that Mr Brown is an idiot.
Therefore his statement should not need an apology.
