Jeremy Clarkson has written a column in which he says that God is embarrassed by Australia “because he has decided to set fire to it”.

In the column for The Sun, Clarkson says that “God didn’t want people to live in Australia” and suggests Australian residents “come home”.

“You’ll like it. It never stops raining. And we are better at sport,” he writes.

Probably a fraction too soon

Lefty pin up boy cans the Greens over bushfires.

A little rain in lakes entrance. It’s not a lot and looks like it will pass over. Please sky’s open up

I struggle to connect with why anyone would give two flying fu**s about Jeremy Clarkson's opinion about anything.

...because I thought the page had moved to posting about wat Celebs were signalling

Was it satire?

There was a doco by Lewis Fitzgerald from the early 90’s (that in hindsight was well before it’s time in style) The Last Man Hanged that featured all of the key players who were still alive and it has stayed with me since; bottom line is that when it comes to capital punishment there is no going back should the said person later be found not guilty or have their conviction muddied with doubt

Ill timed attempted humour

You can't buy bush fire level publicity.

It’s the number one event in which the media/well knowns can clamber to the top of the ‘I’m helping the most’ ladder.

Further to the previous, the political point scoring over bushfires makes me physical ill.

You know what campaigners?

People have lost properties, families have lost love ones, animals have been wiped out.

And you campaigners sit there and espouse how it’s not your responsibility for ensuring that this shouldn’t happen?

And then it’s left to the generosity of the public to band together to help those most affected. If it’s good enough for an American singer to donate 500k, then it’s sure as shit appropriate for those elected by the very same people who are affected, to do whatever they have to do, money wise, to help.

Indeed. Excellent post. There's people out there who equate political advertising with empathy. It's anything but that.

Character is in short supply these days.

Here we go.

If only there was the same level of cynicism applied to the climate bullshit.

Be afraid, be very afraid

Lastly, all the ****ers trying to justify this as some sort of government conspiracy (Agenda 21) you can all royally GAGF.
