Jeremy Clarkson article about Meghan

Shocking and disgusting article.

Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level. At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her. Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.”

I take it this is a quote from the article WellsRose?
Speechless...

Yes it's horrendous. It proves how vitriolic the press can be.

Just spotted there is already a thread about this running 👍

Funny, Jeremy Clarkson isn’t a very nice person himself, either. Could never watch him on tv, made me want to barf.

nanna8, I agree. I used to say that he brought me out in a rash...

Very unpleasant article, so why are you promoting it, Wells Rose?

What a very unpleasant username WellsRose.

I started a thread about this yesterday as I find Clarkson’s vile fantasy about a woman of colour sickening.

I don't think the OP is promoting this. It's being drawn to our attention.

You are right, it is an appallingly unpleasant article which should never have been published. Hopefully, decent people will now refuse to have anything to do with anything Clarkson produces in the media. And with the newspaper that published it.

I find it misogynist. Why print it, it fuels hate?

CleoPanda Sun 18-Dec-22 11:39:23

Who printed/published this nightmarish attack?

WellsRose Sun 18-Dec-22 11:39:33

It's admixture of family names. What's unpleasant about it

The Scum Sun, so called newspaper.

I'm sorry Blossoming, can you explain why my username is unpleasant?

Looking at the link to the article it appears to be about his contempt for Nicola Sturgeon and adds comments about MM at the end. However most of the responses are against him for his views on NS not MM.
It's an appalling article even tho I don't care for either mentioned, JC should be held accountable for his words.

Apologies WellsRose I misread it as something quite rude.

Jeremy Clarkson not being nice - shocker!!

I cannot believe such a thing of the man who punched a member of staff because he didn't like his dinner options ..... hmm

It was removed from The Sun’s website on Monday afternoon at Clarkson’s request following a wave of criticism.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) received more than 12,000 complaints about the column.
In a letter to The Sun’s editor published on Tuesday, 64 MPs from different parties said they were “horrified”.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the violent misogynistic language against The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle,” they said.We condemn in the strongest terms the violent misogynistic language against The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle,” they said.
MPs added: “We welcome The Sun’s retraction of the article, we now demand action is taken against Mr Clarkson and an unreserved apology is issued to Ms Markle immediately.
“We further demand definitive action is taken to ensure no article like this is ever published again.”

Thanks for letting us know, Grany

I think the condemnation was universal.

HurdyGurdy Tue 20-Dec-22 11:29:34

All very well The Sun being urged to take "definitive" action against Clarkson, but they chose to print the article, so who is going to take action against them?

Or will they claim freedom of speech, and that the views are Clarkson's own, and do not reflect those of the publication.

The complaints to IPSO are now up to 17,000 which is apparently is more than they received in total last year.

It's been discussed on LBC and J Vine and all the people who are against Clarkson complained about the remarks concerning MM.

I'd say its a bit sickening about any woman!

ShazzaKanazza Wed 21-Dec-22 11:46:55

I am not a fan of Megan and Harry and I didn’t watch their documentary I chose not too. But what Jeremy Clarkson said was utterly disgraceful. I’m sure she doesn’t deserve such vitriolic hate.

Oldwoman70 Wed 21-Dec-22 12:03:18

His past behaviour has shown he is a very nasty person (even resorting to violence when he doesn't get his own way), so why is anyone surprised he writes a misogynistic article - what surprises me is that the female editor of the rag that published it allowed it through!
