jeremy is hilarious and i love his shows but i could see how somebody would want to pie him in the face. i find it funny that he had such great sportsman ship about the “pie attack” done by the sad and offended ecomentalists.

Germy is two legs short of a legend, more of an ingrowing toenail really.

Come on sam, tell us why we should listen to you. Insults and vitriol look particularly hollow if you don't back them up with at least a little substance. What annoys you in particular? How do environmentalists affect your life? Why do you care what they do or say? RSVP or your comment goes in the bin (all nouns and verbs will be recycled, the swearing will be burned for fuel).

Hello James, do you really think that spamming millions of people with a misleading email is a shining example of democracy? I seems like a rather undemocratic and disingenuous way of drumming up support for the misguided petition which you mention.... more...

Pity that environmentalists don’t understand democracy and the voting system- they’d rather be playing with food like kids. If this were somebody in a hoodie they’d just be seen as an idiot thug, whereas because they have the tag “environmentalist” it’s acceptable?

Luckily, when civilised people disagree with something, they find a civilised way of dealing with it. For example the anti-road charging petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

There can be little that is more galling than having worked one’s brain to a frazzle to earn a degree, than to have to sit and clap whilst somebody ‘dresses up and walks on stage’ to be given an honorary degree just for turning up on the day…..in order to get publicity for the university.

Power to the real workers!

Interesting sentiments there Nick.

Do you have any suggestions on how those people who are concerned about the environmental impact of private transportation should convey their point?

You’re right in a way about the new-style honourary graduands that turn up to degree ceremonies these days, but some remain quite valid and I think Clarkson is a better example, given his popularisation of Brunel on the BBC and also his series that examined breakthrough inventions. Along with his Soul book this is the kind of impetus we need to encourage the engineering passion so sadly lacking in Britain at this time.

This is something I don’t think Jade Goody could help us with.

“I thought I said no groupies.”

Honourary degrees are a joke, and essentially to ensure publicity for an otherwise dull ceremony. Oxford Brookes with its ten-to-one bar-to-restaurant ratio, falls into the “I would never join a club that would accept me as a member” category. A significant number of Brookes students graduate before realising they weren’t taking the right degree for the career they had in mind. So faculty and student body are hardly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
