As Australia is on the brink of humanitarian crisis, Jeremy Clarkson has waded in with yet another bizarre opinion, saying that the country is 'God's laboratory' and that people aren't meant to live there.
In what we can only assume is a weak attempt at humour, he went into detail about why he thinks the country is on fire.
In his column for The Sun, Clarkson claims that God is embarrassed of it and that although we can argue that the fires were caused by 'global warming' - it's simply that God wanted to set fire to it.
He begins his odd rant with the opening line: "I've suspected for some time God didn't want people to live in Australia.

"He created it as a continent far, far away where he could house all his experiments that had gone wrong."
He then goes into detail about some of the creatures he thinks don't deserve to exist, before continuing: "[God] needed a home for all these things, so he made Australia.
"He even used this remote outpost to house some of his more ridiculous ideas. Stuff he came up with when he was drunk. Like those birds that can't fly and that otter with a beak.

"Then you have the kangaroo, which gets about by bouncing, and the koala, which is permanently stoned and catches chlamydia if anyone ever picks it up.
"Plainly, God is embarrassed. Because he's decided to set fire to it. It's been argued the fires raging across the country were caused by global warming or out-of-control barbies.
"But when you look at the footage, you know something biblical is going on. Those things are huge.

"This has happened before in recent years and there's no doubt it will happen again. Which means people must accept that Australia isn't meant for human habitation."

Meanwhile, the fires in Australia show no signs of stopping. Just today, two more lost their lives, bringing the death toll to an estimated 23, with some still missing. Meanwhile, photos of the funeral of a volunteer rural firefighter this week showed his dummy-sucking toddler son accepting a bravery medal in his honour.
