Jeremy Clarkson is everyone's favourite imaginary best mate.
Second favourite imaginary best mate is Ricky Gervais.
Their status is usually justified with the phrase "he says it how it is', six of the most depressing words in the English language

I was a Coastguard Auxiliary for years. My neighbouring station was Selsey, & on more than ome occasion he was to be found in the observation tower at Selsey station- it was the highest building in the village, & he'd sit in there being himself. Bugger to climb up with a tray of tea though

We had a bloke at work whos nickname was Jam Jar.
Theoretically, he was so clever, he could tell you the square root of a jam jar lid. Unfortunately, he was also so inept, he didn't understand how to remove the lid from the jar.

Mum & dad, on their wedding day in 1965. They're 24 here, met when they were 13. Dad did 30 years in the Navy, sunk in 82 in the Falklands
Mum, bombed out twice before she was 4, by the Luftwaffe. Caught Covid in their "ring of steel" nursing homes. Died 4 months apart. Didn't survive Johnson.

Go on. Tell us how you really feel. (I've not seen it - My 6th form college did a version of it in about 1987, I wasn't a radical, but it seemed insensitive to watch a bunch of middle class, Home Counties, proto Tories trying to be unemployed & disenfranchised Scousers. It didn't sit well with me)

As a bored, under employed, middle aged man, with West Highland accent, perfectly happy to attend said party as Morag's husband "because she's unable to attend due to work commitments". (I am the acknowledged master of skiving in my department.)

In 2020, I lost my mum on April 8th, my nephew on April 14th & Dad on November 2nd all from Covid. My sister died 15 years ago, so was spared losing her mum and disabled son in the space of 6 days.
The Inquiry seems to be more about protecting those who were meant to doing the protecting.

I pointed out that the Gammonati's 2nd favourite imaginary best mate is blatantly manipulating the narrative for his vodka for free by getting his acolytes to share every "banned ad" - and 1 reply was "he does loads for animal charities". (The favourite imaginary best mate of theirs is J Clarkson)
