Jeremy Clarkson - Jeremy Clarkson Unleashes Rant At Fellow Brits

Clarkson, who helms hit motoring show Top Gear, lashed out after he was stunned by the reaction to news of his beloved dog's death.

He had posted a note on Twitter.com telling fans his pet pooch had passed away but instead of sympathy, he was hit with a deluge of insults and mocking comments - and Clarkson is convinced the remarks show the true nature of his fellow Brits.

In an article for Top Gear magazine, he revealed he'd been subjected to "a non-stop tirade of abuse", adding, "(It) confirms my theory. Britain is a nation of 62 million complete and utter b**tards... We are the country that invented the concentration camp and international slavery. Hanging, drawing, quartering: that was us too.

"I bet if you checked you'd find that, along with everything else, bullying was invented here too."
