The Independent: Clarkson joins fact-finding tour of Basra
The BBC presenter was the latest “celebrity” to make a whirlwind visit to the country and has left speaking glowingly of his experience of covering combat.
…
At one point during his visit to Basra he is said to have asked the British military to organise the blowing up of a car. He was told, however, that staging explosions in Iraq of all places was not a good idea.

Your description of Clarkson is way too kind.
For one he was about three weeks too late.
Can we now see a Warrior armoured vehicle doing speed trials in Brands Hatch?
“And as Jeremy takes Gambon Corner - oh no, he’s on fire! Look at that! And as he leaps from the burning vehicle, flames streaming from his ludicrous afro haircut, he’s set upon by a baying crowd of licence payers.”
An MoD spokesman said later that the crowd were a minority and that most licence payers were very grateful for Clarkson’s humorless, sexist, pro-speeding, pro-climate change arseholism.
Given Clarkson’s James Bond fantasies in Top Gear (getting shot at by squaddies while driving a supercar (no real bullets…alas), or trying to evade a helicopter gunship in a Lotus, perhaps he should have just done a Cannoball Run in an Aston Martin from Baghdad to the Syrian border.
Oh course I am joking about the real bullets
Meh. The kitchen segment on his old chat show was one of the funniest things television has ever seen.
The wanting to blow up a car thing does seem a bit odd, however… was sure he’d rather nuke a caravan.
You may mock jeremy, but i can tell you that his visit would of raised the spirts of the guys over in Iraq, who are doing a shit job, for little pay. I can say without a doubt if you came to Baghdad your arse would contract quicker than saying ‘civvy tosser’. He ventured into the lions den without any training or a a gun and got shot at more than one, how many of you twats looking at this screen has done that, for this Jeremy clarkson is a FUCKING LEGEND
