A Tank Is Driving Through London To Deliver The 'Bring Back Clarkson' Petition To BBC HQ
Just a tank in central London. Destined for someone's political lawn? or a pro-Clarkson message for the BBC perhaps? pic.twitter.com/99ptO79w1s

Jeremy Clarkson’s future at the BBC is up in the air at the moment following his scuffle with a producer, and the Top Gear host’s expletive-ridden speech last night implied he might lose his job over the incident.
That hasn’t stopped political blogger Guido Fawkes, who is the man responsible for starting a petition to have Clarkson reinstated. The petition has an incredible 990,000 signatures, and is being delivered to the BBC today… on a tank.
Police have issued an advisory on the @GuidoFawkes tank. Apparently around Islington atm http://t.co/J7jvF5Mpjj pic.twitter.com/URKEjsswTg

Police have released a statement confirming they are aware of a ‘self-propelled gun’ roaming the streets of London, and The Stig is piloting it.
The tank is behind schedule due to the fact it keeps breaking down, however journalists waiting at BBC HQ as well as following the machine on its route have been live tweeting the publicity stunt. Here’s a collection of their images:
