Clarkson likes tanks.

Political blog Guido Fawkes is reportedly about to drive a tank to the BBC offices in London to deliver a Jeremy Clarkson petition. The tank will set off from Westminster and its drivers are hoping to save the suspended Top Gear presenter from losing his job.

After the Clarkson "fracas" came to light, in which the 54-year-old is alleged to have punched producer Toisin Tymon for giving him cold meats instead of a steak after a day's filming, Guido Fawkes rallied to back Clarkson. The online petition has reached nearly 1 million signatures.

The tank is the blog's latest move to get behind Clarkson and help him keep his job. It comes just a day after the TV star and columnist launched into a rant about his situation, where he told audience members at a London charity gala that he was going to be sacked.

The tank's exact route is unknown right now, and it's unclear whether it'll reach the BBC offices. However, it's another strong move from the pro-Clarkson camp. The country is resolutely divided by the figure.
