Tim Burgess wins takedown of the week after Jeremy Clarkson called Greta Thunberg a ‘spoiled brat’
We don’t expect you to have read the column – eternity’s too short – but Jeremy Clarkson used his latest missive in the Sun to slag off Greta Thunberg, calling her a ‘spoiled brat’.
Here’s just a tiny, tiny bit of what he had to say.
‘So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat. And yes, you are spoilt because when you told your mum and dad to stop using planes and give up meat, they didn’t behave like sane parents and ignore you. They actually said, “Yes, dear.” And did.’
That’s enough of that. And there was no shortage of admirable responses, not least from Clarkson’s daughter, Emily.
But the best one was from Charlatans frontman, Tim Burgess.

And the perfect encore.
When a tweet gets crazy numbers of likes, it’s traditional to drop in your soundcloud link. In this instance it seems more apt to attach @Greenpeace’s website – if only to further infuriate @JeremyClarkson https://t.co/eWmB55TzO6
