Jeremy Clarkson

Stupid does as stupid is...........

If you haven't heard already, Mr Clarkson made an error of judgement by having his bank details published in one of his new paper columns.

He was trying to prove that the recent loss of personal data was nothing to be worried about. How wrong he was as someone created a direct debit to a charity that took £500 out of his account. But, don't let this worry you too much. The person who created this account will have known what they were doing and the fact that Clarkson is a 'celebrity' (oh god no!) means that all the information you could ever wish for is available on some dodgy and some not so dodgy web sites. Think, date of birth, mothers maiden name, town of birth, you know, all those questions that the bank ask you for security reasons. All the ones that you aren't advertising to anybody but people who know you well.

The problem is, he's now probably worried half the nation with his stupid school boy antics and raised yet more questions about issues which were confusing enough as it was.

In waving his red rag to a bull, he practically invited people to try and raid his account and they succeeded and now he's upset.
