@c5news: Maybe they were all looking at the Tapestry. Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson was in top form at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Taking to the stage on Monday, the presenter joked that a lot of people “have come dressed as seats, I notice, around the edges”. He pointed at the crowd where, presumably, a lot of seats were empty, while making the remark. Clarkson went on to say it had been a “terrible” year for farming due to hot weather and rising costs and questioned why “would anybody set up a business in this country right now?”
