Jeremy Clarkson subject of a poo protest

It’s the most confused protest since Jenny McCracken drove 550 kilometres to complain about global warming: Climate change protesters have dumped a pile of horse manure at the home of Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson in a protest about vehicle emissions. Six women stood by the dung in the drive of his home in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, with a sign that read: “This is what you’re landing us in.” They might have had a point if Clarkson regularly agitated for a return to pre-motorised transport on his program Top Saddle. As things stand, however, all these women have done is remind Oxfordshire residents how British streets must have reeked before cars were invented. Tim Blair
