Jeremy Clarkson at least acknowledges the tragedy of people who end their own life but then goes on to dismiss them as 'Johnny Suicides' whose bodies should be left on train tracks rather than delay journeys.

Ed Miliband criticises Jeremy Clarkson for promoting intolerance of the mentally ill.

Blighty would be committing suicide - if it ever votes for this Muppet (Millibund) - to be PM !
Blighty would be insane / 'mentally challenged' also !!

Mr. Clarkson is an amiable and likable host for Top Gear for which his smart ass remarks are perfectly tailored, he is in his element. Otherwise, Mr. C. needs to keep his mouth shut on issues where his glib,caustic one liners make him look stupid, clueless or just plain callous. Mr. C. needs to heed the notion that it is better to remain silent than to speak and confirm your foolishness.
