[Sun column] Jeremy Clarkson has more thoughts about UK PM Keir Starmer

Jeremy Clarkson put on his political hat (he’s generally supported views that align with UK Conservatives over the years) and used the main part of his Sun column to criticize Sir Starmer’s approach to military preparedness. Here’s a preview:
“As we have seen in the Ukraine war, an entire squadron of bombers can now be destroyed by someone with a lorry and a few drones, made from stuff you can buy for a tenner at Dixons.
“But by far the biggest problem we have is Keir Starmer himself, because he is very possibly the least war-like leader the world has ever seen. He is a stick of celery in a crap suit.”
(Usual disclaimers apply because it’s The Sun.)

What a crap argument...

Clarkson also brought some “old man yells at clouds!” energy in a different section of his column (and I thought it merited a separate note):
“…a survey by the NSPCC has found that today, many children prefer to sit at home, on their iPads, all by themselves. Only a quarter regularly play with another child.
“This is a worry because a child that’s spent its formative years shooting aliens in the face and watching mindless American cartoons is going to have no understanding of how to behave in society.”

From the man who had a hissy fit and punched another man over a steak.

Jeremy should just stick to cars, really..
"Least war-like"?? The same guy who literally said he would send troops to keep peace??

Whhhhhyyyy? Honestly if you had a problem with Jeremy why are you are here, it’s not new. He is right wing, rich, and has a platform. Not American right wing just more conservative, so why just stir stuff up?

Ugh. Can we post car stuff? Jeremy's political opinions are so obvious at this point.

Yeah, I don't think much of Sir Kir Royale myself, but someone who was an Army officer and Director of Public Prosecutions as prime minister is infinitely better than a failed journalist.

Remember when Clarkson described himself as a sensible centrist?
