Everyone’s favorite TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson is in hot water with bus drivers over in Britain after the TopGear presenter made some rather harsh comments toward the public transit workers. In a recent Sun article, he said any bus driver who fails to give cars the right of way is an “inconsiderate jumped-up little Hitler bastard” who should be “shot in the middle of his face.” Public transportation official Graham Stevenson said he’s not impressed by Clarkson’s comments. “Bus drivers have a sense of humour, but these comments are … deeply offensive,” he said. “Many of our members and their families have taken offence. Clarkson should apologize, but he should do more, in our view, he should spend a week as a bus driver.” Stevenson promised to organize a job swap if Clarkson is prepared to try driving a bus.
