Burning an effigy is a pretty ancient English tradition. Nothing unusual in that.
He says it wasn't Trump. The only photo I can see is already burnt. It does look Trump-like though.
I doubt that someone as brash and shouty as Clarkson would do something and then back-pedal about it. If he was prepared to burn a Trump then to my mind he would have followed through and owned it. I guess we'll never know.
Maybe it was an opportunistic jab with plausible deniability, but I do agree that if Jeremy Clarkson wanted to say something you would expect him to say it. Thanks for the response by the way! that info lines up with what I see others online saying about it, it was just hard for me to reconcile as an American
