Jeremy Clarkson takes one last swipe at Danny Cohen

Although Jeremy Clarkson has now moved to Amazon Prime to host a new car show, it appears that the BBC is never far from the former Top Gear host’s mind. In an interview with the Sunday Times over the weekend, Clarkson couldn’t resist revisiting his ongoing feud with Danny Cohen, the former director of television at the BBC.

With Cohen — a darling of the liberal elite — thought to be instrumental in his sacking, it comes as little surprise that Clarkson is boosted by the news that Cohen, too, has now departed the Beeb. Speaking of the former director of television’s exit, Clarkson says it was ‘inevitable’. ‘Of course he’s gone. That was inevitable. You can’t have a man like that running anything,’ he says. As for Cohen’s outlook on the world? ‘Those views are not echoed by anyone living in the country that I know about.’

Funny that, Mr S thought the Beeb — which Clarkson describes as a ‘1920s’ operation — wasn’t in short supply of luvvies.
