Katie Hopkins tweets support for 'top bloke' Jeremy Clarkson following Top Gear suspension
COLUMNIST Katie Hopkins has tweeted her support for Jeremy Clarkson after the presenter was suspended by the BBC.
Katie showed her support for her fellow outspoken TV personalty today when Jeremy was suspended "following a fracas" with a producer.
The 40-year-old decided to get behind the Top Gear star despite having no knowledge of the incident.
She claimed the "licence fee makes no sense" without Jeremy on the BBC.
Writing to her 523 thousand followers, Katie posted: "Clarkson suspended by BBC. I don't care what he said. Clarkson all the way. #TopGear #topbloke."
Later she added: "JeremyClarkson v @BBC Without him, the licence fee makes no sense whatsoever. Enough lefty lunacy. Get the man back on #topbloke #TopGear."
"Clarkson's suspension has nothing to do with a minor bust up. It is the jealousy of the dim-witted left v the quick-witted right. #TopGear."
"If Clarkson tried to punch me I'd duck, kiss his little belly & ask which car to buy. Can we please get a sense of sodding humour? #TopGear."
After making a string of controversial comments on the show last year, Jeremy was put on what was called his final warning.
It came following a racism row over claims he used the n-word while reciting the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny Moe during filming of Top Gear.
The presenter denied using racist language and said he was "horrified" that it could have sounded as though he did.
Shortly after the incident, he wrote in his column in The Sun: "I've been told by the BBC that if I make one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time, I will be sacked."
It seems the 54-year-old might have predicted his suspension last month, as he posted a tweet apparently calling for a "new presenter for Top Gear".
He tweeted: "Wanted: new presenter for Top Gear. Applicant should be old, badly dressed and pedantic but capable of getting to work on time."
His last tweets were on Sunday, when he wrote: "It's an old skool Top Gear tonight. Nobody falls over and no-one is fired by canon into a hospital. I'd watch something else frankly."
