Something is afoot.

Danny Wallace: Diesel-smelling Top Gear host who threatened climate protestors misses butterflies.

    Exactly. There was a time when I didn’t know how to multiply 6 by 5.

    But I learned, as did I’m sure all of you.

    Ignorance can be cured.

    Punishing people for the ignorance of their past when their present self is trying to do better is wrong.

    Maybe be a little more charitable towards your fellow man.

      But Clarkson wasnt just ignorant, he was actively spreading ignorance.

      He was out there telling all the kids that 6 x 5 = 40.

      Now it looks like he might have realized that 6 x 5 is actually 30. If he wanted to be an adult and try to do better, he would be posting about how he was wrong, posting apologies, and positively affirming that 6 x 5 = 30. I dont see him doing any of these things.
