I used to find him mildly amusing and sometimes offensive, but his latest rant in the pages of The Sun is just sick beyond belief.

I agree the list of choices on the ipso list is inadequate. But you do get to elaborate it further into the form.

I put "discrimination" simply becuase it was the only viable option, but said more in the comments paragraph. FWIW, I think its just getting as many complaints in as psooible, and I felt others would have already made the points much better than me, and it's a numbers game now.

I agree, Wyllow. It's not just about Clarkson either - it is sending the message that this sort of misogyny is just unacceptable. Women's rights are already under threat, and the last thing we need is to have this sort of hatred login unchecked.

Forsythia

He’s telling his truth as he sees it. And aren’t we all entitled to do that now?

Have you even read what he said? It's msyogonist, racist, bile and sexually abusive. His secret fantasies about her and that he think she is worse than Nicola Sturgeon and Rose West.

That is not an opinion. Its utterly contemtable and enables those like it into thinking they can do it too. Look at the rape abuse, violence and murders going on and he is part of enabling that.

Yes words matter

Sorry, that made me laugh.

Yes!

I would seriously query any remaining "fan" of Clarkson. They are now in a situation of letting this be "OK".
