'Has IQ of a stone' Jeremy Clarkson blasts Liz Truss' 'wooden' reading at Queen's funeral
Jeremy Clarkson has blasted Prime Minister Liz Truss as having the "IQ of a stone" as he compared the delivery of her reading at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral to that of a "Dalek".The Clarkson's Farm star, 62, compared her eulogy to that of other country leaders who delivered theirs with "feeling", while likening her to a six-year-old reading poetry.The Top Gear presenter didn't hold back as he recalled the first time he heard the new Prime Minister speak.Jeremy revealed it was when the leader of the country delivered the Monarch's eulogy, which he said sounded like "a six-year-old who'd been told to read John Donne poetry out in class."He continued: "It sounded like it was being read by someone who couldn't understand what the words meant."Or by someone who had the IQ of a stone."The Grand Tour host applauded other nation's leaders over their tributes, including Justin Trudeau and Emmanual Macron, saying they gave theirs with "feeling".However, the Diddly Squat Farm owner told how he was once again left speechless when the PM stood and gave a second reading at the Queen's funeral, which he branded "more wooden than the altar."Jeremy went on: "She probably thought, as she sat down afterwards, that she'd done a good job."She'd got all the words in the correct order and hadn't accidentally used the word "vagina"."But it's not what you say, it's how you say it. And she had said it all wrong.
