Jeremy Clarkson has insisted that he wouldn't return to BBC's Top Gear if asked after he was sacked in 2015 for punching a producer.
Despite previously claiming his firing was his 'own silly fault' he revealed he wouldn't be tempted back to the corporation as he doesn't think the show he loves would be made in the same way.
Writing for The Sunday Times, the 62-year-old presenter explained that he was confused by the public assumption that the BBC was a Conservative corporation, due to the fact the chairman is a Tory party donor, quipping the current mood is that 'the Beeb is a festering maggot pit run by the bastard love children of Margaret Thatcher and Gordon Gekko.'
However, he claimed that the opposite was in fact true, stating that in his experience they wanted to keep the 'festival of left-wing madness happy'.
It's because of this he claimed that his version of Top Gear wouldn't be made the same way because every show is now 'pitch-perfect to the BLT+ community and the ethnic minority communities and the community communities.'
