A tank was used to deliver a petition for the return of Jeremy Clarkson to the BBC in central London on March 20. The petition, started by the blogger Guido Fawkes, had garnered almost a million signatures by March 20. The blog promised “a big surprise” on Thursday, March 19. Fawkes also tweeted that he “needed a tank” in central London.

The tank, with a man on top dressed as The Stig, a character from Top Gear, was seen approaching BBC headquarters in London.
