Millionaire Jeremy Clarkson ‘fed up’ with 'whingeing' over quality of £30 meal parcels (claims mother would spend the funds on scratchcards etc)
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
Improving school food is a great aim, but the poor-bashing nonsense is par for the course for Clarkson. This kind of shit has been part of British life for decades, but the escalation in the early 2000s with the chav-bashing, benefit-scrounger bullshit has made public discourse about poverty and state support utterly poisonous, and people like Clarkson with their bully pulpits in right-wing tabloids have a huge responsibility for that.
TL;DR Clarkson can take a flying fuck at a brick wall.

If you were to take everything terrible about the Little Englander mindset and recreate it in human form, it would be Jeremy Clarkson.
thank fuck I'm not the only one that feels this every time I see it
the guy has been spreading poisonous bigoted trash for years in his newspaper column and elsewhere, because he is a poisonous bigot
The poor-bashing is why we've gone from giving the money, to vouchers, to food parcels.
It's important to remind people why there was such an uproar:
This is a food parcel supplied to a family by a private company supposedly worth £30, it is to last a week of school meals. The outrage is that not only are the less well off getting scammed, the tax-payer is getting scammed - which is interesting because the likes of Clarkson and those that eat his shit would moan til the cows came home about how tax money was being used inappropriately by the less fortunate.

Its worth about £5 which means the rest is being pocketed by the company, who surprise surprise got the contract because they are big donators to the tories.
Its all a grift, the entire Conservative government is there to make themselves or their mates richer
Some fat old and rich bastard seems to bite off more than one can chew while still spewing utter shit out of his mouth.
Incredible
Incredible
Clarkson is the definition of a gammon.
Disgusting asshole and I am honestly glad that The Grand Tour seems to have less mindshare than top gear had.
Also, love how gammons will treat his words as wise and considerate but when a black artist or athlete speaks up about something they tell them to stick to what they know

Yeah, it's the same old shit as always. The rich and temporarily embarrassed millionaires believe the poor are only poor because they choose to be, so the assumption is that they wouldn't be able to spend the money properly or would spend it on drugs or whatever.
It's a pretty stupid argument to make and, evidently, the government should just give families the money directly. You could easily get many times the value of that parcel you posted if you just went to ASDA or wherever.
In fact, if you go on the ASDA website, they actually have several collections of five recipes for five meals for £30 or less. Seems perfect for this sort of thing. For example:
This is the ingredients for one of their recipe collections and it costs £30.50. A little bit more impressive than a loaf of bread and some fruit, no?
What an ass.
Hopefully enough for people to stop posting the "anyway" meme.
Oh jeez lots of c words in this thread huh.

No surprise that Clarkson would say something like that. And he's got kids too so you'd think he'd at least keep his lousy opinions to himself. What a twat.
Those school meal parcels were fraudulent profiteering on government funding for kids in poverty for a claimed value of £30 a go. The idea that 'people should be happy they got them in the first place' is some sneering gammon bullshit, the idea that parents can't be trusted to not do a decent shop for food every couple of weeks rather than blowing it on gambling and ciggies. To then call out the mother pointing out the issue is just gross.
Those parcels were meant to last 10 school days, not a single lunch, and are as much a national disgrace as you, you utter tosser.

Clarkson continues to be a cunt, to no-one's surprise.
By choosing to give them insufficient food, you're swapping a kid potentially not getting enough (due to a voucher being exchanged for drugs?!?!) vs guaranteeing it.

Absolute evisceration, with absolute clarity. I love this clip.

I was going to make the same point. As a tax payer, Clarkson should be getting mad that a private company is obviously taking the piss and just pocketing tax payer money and that is being kind because you could argue that it is fraud. But no, his right wing mentality kicks in and resorts to class warfare.
I'm learning so much new vocabulary from this thread. Specially British swear words and ways to insult. Thank you guys.
I had hoped, when my only exposure to Clarkson was Top Gear, that he was primarily playing a character on TV and that his moronic, entitled, vaguely racist/sexist/British exceptionalist persona was a bit like Gordon Ramsey's; extremely overblown for the sake of drama. I still hoped, even after learning that he decked a producer for no reason, that he just let his ego get the better of him and that he genuinely was contrite, as I couldn't reconcile the fact that a guy who made me laugh to the point of tears could be a raging asshole in real life.
He's a raging asshole.
He's a raging asshole.
I'm British but vapid gaping clunge is a new and brilliant one for me
Yeah, i didn't know any of those three words before. And searching them together on Google didn't help me, as a matter of saying.
don't do it
This is one area where we have so much to offer the world culturally. Armando Iannucci should have a knighthood.
I do enjoy the shows he's been involved with, but no doubt he's not a particularly nice person. How many times has he been caught making derogatory comments to all sorts of minorities?
Twat.
To be clear, that £30 is to cover the costs for a week. They weren't 'demanding' £30, they literally used to get £30 of vouchers which were then replaced with these packages, and the vouchers were restricted so couldn't be spent on cigarettes, alcohol, scratch-cards etc, so he's talking out of his arse as usual.
Fucking idiot.

Didn't take long to look up either.

You would have a book as thick as the dictionary with the compilation of terrible things he's said.
Jeremy Clarkson has worked out how to get away with being a huge asshole in public without suffering any consequences: also play one on TV.
