Jeremy Clarkson Blasts BBC and Attenborough for Stuffing Planet Earth Series With Climate Propaganda

by Will Jones
6 November 2023 1:15 PM

Jeremy Clarkson has blasted the BBC and David Attenborough for stuffing the latest Planet Earth series with climate change propaganda, saying he “hates” the show and urging a change in direction. The Mail has more.

The Grand Tour host admitted that while he’s been captivated by the new BBC series, he found the script “insane”. 

Clarkson wrote in his column with the Sun: “Oh the photography is brilliant. Spellbinding even. But the words are driving me insane.”

The outspoken broadcaster then pointed out that despite once admiring Attenborough’s in-depth knowledge of animals, he now feels his mission to educate viewers on the impact of global warming has become a bit repetitive.

He wrote: “Now all we ever get is, ‘Here’s a see-through fish with an orange stomach, and it’s future is threatened by climate change’, and then it’s: ‘Here’s something with pointy teeth and soon it will be wiped out by global warming.’

“We know already. So please, in future, tell us about the animals, not the bloody weather.”

Worth reading in full.

It’s not the first time the petrolhead has criticised Attenborough’s climate change obsession. Last year he made similar points about Frozen Planet II, calling it a “joke” and saying he’d turned it into a drinking game: “Every time climate change crops up, I have a beer. It’s the only way to make this half-arsed twaddle tolerable.”

Today, Sir Attenborough is too old to appear in the films and I’m afraid he doesn’t even write the script any more. He just reads out words that have been written by a team of vegan communists who have only one thing on their minds. Climate change.

I’ve been watching Frozen Planet II and it’s a joke, because we learn nothing at all. We see some dramatic footage of a polar bear and before we are told anything at all, we are warned that because of human activity and capitalism and Donald Trump, the poor bear’s habitat is disappearing. …

When I first began to notice this stuck-record commentary, I decided to get my own back. Every time they mentioned global warming, I’d turn my central heating up a notch. 

But that’s too expensive, really.

So I’ve turned it into a drinking game. Every time climate change crops up, I have a beer. 

It’s the only way to make this half-arsed twaddle tolerable.

I believe the EU fine Poland for daring to use coal. But I thought all countries in the EU were “Independent”?. ——At least so said the wicked witch Sturgeon

Bringing blankets to cold eco activists worried about warming is about as absurd and pathetic as it comes. All institutions today are infected with the Snowflake virus. They would want to bring Ian Huntley some extra bottles of bleach to make sure his house was clean and free of evidence. They would ask Harold Shipman for advice on their mother in law. They would make sure Hitler had enough corn beef and beans in his bunker.

Amusing to note that they were all wearing hi-tec fossil fuel based clothing and happy to accept fossil fuel based blankets too…

He was a vegetarian because he objected to animal slaughterhouses so beans only. I suppose Blondi, Negus and Stasi would have enjoyed the corned beef.

“France gives up on meritocracy”

Brilliant comment underneath this article:

‘Writing from France, I need to say this:

Firstly, Macron was never supposed to be elected president in 2017. He was having a go to build up his CV but, suddenly, a scandal engulfed the front leader, Francois Fillon, and forced him out. A vaccum opened up, and Macron walked in. Pure luck and coincidence.

He had huge momentum behind him and set up a new party, “En Marche” and just about every chimp with that label got elected – Attal being one of them.

Macron’s first choice of premiere was Edouard Philippe. A fairly competent and steady person who soon started attracting rumours of presidential standing. Macron reacted by sacking him and replacing him with the most awful gormless oaf imaginable, Jean Castex, who was premiere during covid. He is now in charge of the Paris metro, and he still wears a mask (whenever on TV, that is).

At the last elections, Macron lost his majority in parliament and appointed Elizabeth Borne, who has one quality in common with Castex: totally gormless.
Now he replaced her with this kid.

I remember Attal vividly from the covid nightmare. He was the media spokesman nervously lying through his teeth. He was so nervous and so dishonest you could see him visibly shaking. He has no guts, no brains and no spine.

What he does have in common with previous holders of the office (after Macron learned his lesson with Edouard Philippe), is that Attal is absolutely no threat to the boss.
Macron chooses people not because of their abilities, but because of the exact opposite: no one in government can outshine him. Given that it does not take much to do so, he is scraping the barrel ever harder.

Meritocracy vanished in France ages ago. Not just now.

Unfortunately, the mass/legacy media is totally pro-Macron, who pays McKinsey consultants to tell him what he should do. It is a muppet show here. (Sorry Kermit, Ms Piggy.)’

Let us never forget Micron’s complicity in bullying the spineless Bunter into lockdown.

‘We had prepared the closure of our border and told Prime Minister Johnson we would implement it that day if there was no evolution [of British measures],” a senior French official familiar with the conversation told POLITICO.

French paper Libération reported Saturday evening that Macron had “threatened” Johnson. The French official said that was “too strong a word” to describe the call.’

https://www.politico.eu/article/france-was-ready-to-shut-border-had-uk-not-toughened-coronavirus-measures/

Micron always reminds me of ‘Inspector Clouseau’. Where is Chief Inspector Dreyfus when you need him……..

The ‘news round up’ above is dominated by the Horizon scandal. How I wish that the outcry, attention from politicians and column inches dedicated to it over the last few days were also being directed to the (ongoing) wrongs of the covid era. One can only dream how quickly the population would wake up if all the press were trumpeting the government wrongs and lies about being stabbed and the tremendous harms (and excessive deaths) that have been caused.

‘‘Trial by media’ saved the sub-postmasters. Ministers should know better than to attack the press”

Attack the press? The press are in their fecking pockets! Msm are the government mouthpieces, this is just a one off

Smokescreens part 8 was a good article. Made me think that it might be wise to add the affair of the last 4 years to the same bucket list as the Horizon scandal.

“Covid hasn’t gone away so where’s the plan?” – Mainland Europe is taking the threat of the Juno variant seriously, but Rishi Sunak is sticking his fingers in his ears, writes Alice Thomson in a typically hysterical piece in the Times.

we find

But the government response is bizarre. It’s their job to take this virus seriously.

And right there is the problem. It’s not their job. It’s our job or the NHS/GP businesses job to take it as seriously as we/they deem appropriate. Telling us how to (they think) avoid infection is a medic’s job, not government. Deciding how to sub-allocate the enormous piles of taxpayers money which has been given to the NHS – that’s their job.

I know a number of retired medics from drinking with them in our student days. I can assure you they were no more intelligent than other people and just as unconcerned about drinking to excess.

I work with a just retired GP one or two days a week. He’s a nice enough chap but in all other respects thoroughly mediocre. Very much BBC informed. Medically too much a fan of pharma solutions. He never ventures to discuss the Scamdemic, well at least not in my presence but I get the impression he is / was fully on board.

Not nice but dim but certainly nice but mediocre.

Cultural vandalism is the comment. Exactly. This is the Khant’s true, undeclared Manifesto. London must be destroyed.
