Gateshead Council’s artist-laureate Antony Gormley’s latest brainwave: lose the shoes. Not only will you be in solidarity with those who aren’t fortunate enough to have shoes—most of whom would likely punch you for not appreciating your shoes—but you’ll be able to feel the rising temperature of our warming earth.
The North Briton can assure readers that the feeling gained from leaving the house without ones shoes today in Gateshead will not be one of increasing warmth.

It’s hard to know what to say in response to this kind of clueless drivel from Gormley.
In the spirit of Clarkson; I propose that he be striped of the fruits of capitalism, tied to the front of an SUV and driven around the northern wastes for many days - until he is, err, not alive.
