Guardian - Clarkson stung by fraud stunt

In order to truly appreciate this, Clarkson is a smug right wing git given to ranting against political correctness, global warming and Peak oil

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he was wrong to brand the scandal of lost CDs containing the personal data of millions of Britons a "storm in a teacup" after falling victim to an internet scam.

The outspoken star printed his bank details in a newspaper to try and make the point that his money would be safe and that the spectre of identity theft was a sham.

He also gave instructions on how to find his address on the electoral roll and details about the car he drives.

Ah, I love the smell of schaudenfreude inb the morning, don't you ?

keep to the Fen Causeway

I would maybe have prefered them to give the money to an environmental charity, but it is truely entertaining and couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
