Jeremy Clarkson, a British television personality who hosts the popular BBC program Top Gear, weighed in on the controversy surrounding fellow Brit CNN’s Piers Morgan. Clarkson tweeted on Monday:
Americans. It took us 40 years to get rid of Piers Morgan. Pleasse don’t send him back.

The Top Gear host also tweeted:
Americans. Was the second amendment not introduced to protect you from the tyranny of the British? Piers Morgan in other words.

Following the deadly shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Morgan insulted second amendment advocates on Twitter and called a guest on his CNN show, Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners for America, an “idiot,” “dangerous” and an “unbelievably stupid man.”
Now that is funny.
The BBC Top Gear is great to watch and Clarkson is a big part of that.
UK petition appealing to UK Government to Stop Piers Morgan from being deported back to the UK from America.
Warning – really bad language. My favorite comment is from Peter Duffy in Glasgow who writes:
that last one is a good idea, the sharks will get a good meal
