Jeremy Clarkson: 'Chris Packham doesn't understand the real world'
TV naturalist and Just Stop Oil supporter Chris Packham has come under fire from outspoken farmer and newspaper columnist Jeremy Clarkson.
Writes Mr Clarkson in today's edition of The Sun: "These days, it's difficult to keep up with the pontifications of nature enthusiast Chris Packham.
"He seems to find everything annoying."
The columnist is particularly scornful about the BBC Springwatch presenter's recent criticism of Taylor Swift for flying in a private jet, rather than using commercial flights such as BA or Ryanair, on her current world tour.
"What this proves is that Mr Packham simply doesn't understand the real world.
"Ms Swift would either have been late for every gig or would have arrived in Copenhagen when she should have been in Vancouver.
"And, if she stopped for every selfie-hunter at airports, she would miss the plane."
Concludes Mr Clarkson: "Packham is reasonably well known among the nation's ramblers and bingo enthusiasts.
"However, he has no knowledge of what it is like to be properly famous - not Packham famous, Clooney or Lewis Hamilton famous.
"I can't imagine that Chris Packham will become a Formula One world champion.
"But I know he likes music so I hope one day, he releases an album that propels him to global stardom.
"Because then we'd see how long it'd take him to ask his agent to book a private jet."
The naturalist is understood to be considering The Sun man's music challenge but so far has not responded.
Famous - but not yet super-famous. Will Chris Packham (centre) release an album?
