  | Jeremy Clarkson under fire over Gordon Brown slur Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson is under fire after branding Gordon Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot".  Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson is under fire after branding Gordon Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot". The BBC presenter also accused the Prime Minster of lying, in the comments reportedly made in Australia where he's hosting Top Gear Live, a stage version of the TV show. Mr Brown lost his sight in one eye after an accident playing rugby as a teenager. Clarkson, speaking at a press conference in Sydney, compared Mr Brown to Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd, after Mr Rudd had just addressed the country on the global financial crisis. According to The Australian newspaper, he said: "It's the first time I've ever seen a world leader admit we really are in deep s***. "He genuinely looked terrified. The poor man, he's actually seen the books. (In the UK) we've got this one-eyed Scottish idiot, he keeps telling us everything's fine and he's saved the world and we know he's lying, but he's smooth at telling us." Scots politicians reacted angrily to the remark. Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray said: "Such a comment is really a reflection on Jeremy Clarkson and speaks for itself. Most people here are proud that the Prime Minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis." Gordon Banks, Labour MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, branded the comments "unforgivable". The BBC and Downing Street declined to comment. Clarkson's comment has been branded "offensive" and "totally unacceptable" by the Royal National Institute of Blind People. LOL.

| Re: Jeremy Clarkson under fire over Gordon Brown slur Clarkson has been under fire a million times. He's BBC's golden child so they won't do squat about it as long as he doesn't insult the Queen. |

| Re: Jeremy Clarkson under fire over Gordon Brown slur Oh my god, some people... Why is it not allowed to say that the socialist is an idiot? Very funny to hear all the dorky organisations getting themselves all worked up
