Have some people got nothing better to do?

I know that we Brits have got a reputation for complaining, but does no-one possess a sense of humour any more?

After the Brand/Ross débacle (which, ironically, centered on an actor famed for his potentially-semi-racist-but-certainly-stereotyped-depiction-of-a-foreigner role), the “meeja” are now stirring up trouble for Mr. Clarkson…

One hundred and eighty-eight complaints before it hit the press. Out of an audience of seven million. Now, my maths may be rusty but even I know that’s a tiny percentage (0.003% -ish) that are calling for Jezza’s head on a platter.

As at time of writing, the number has literally swelled to 517 (0.007%) individuals that have nothing better to do with their time than complain; 329 that probably don’t even normally watch TG (an increase of 175%, seeing as we’re playing the maths game).

As for JC – sack him? Hell no – make him Prime Minister (or at least give him a knighthood for services to common sense and clear thinking)!
