Imagine he'd said it about Kate...

Exactly!! I'm sure the rf would speak up then!

@electricmoccasins

Good posts.

It's as much satire as evil Frankie Boyle dragging people with downsyndrome lnto his nasty jokes.
We can all live without that kind of satire.

Harry and Meghan have left the RF and are very negative about them. I am not sure it is the time or place for the RF to comment any further on matters related to Harry and Meghan. H and M want separation and have left those roles. It seems murky for the RF to still be commenting on them now. I don't think there is anything the RF could say that wouldn't lead to more anger from H and M. Their own PR team should be putting out a statement, not the RF.

It's good his DD spoke outout against him. I feel for her. How Clarkson must hate women! Vile misogynist.

He thinks he is untouchable. He was able to punch a member of the Top Gear crew - got the sack but made shedloads (even)more money on the back of it from Amazon (The Tour) and got the Who wants to be a Millionaire (me! - ha -already am) gig and his Farm Tv show of the back of it all. Quids in!

Hopefully ( not holding my breath) there will be adverse consequences for him this time. He reminds me of Boris Johnson a dreadful, public school bully type to whom no mud ever seems to stick for long or only serves to enrich them! Boys will be boys - eh?

What sort of Human could hate MM more than Rose West????
I hope he gets a visit from the police soon and arrested for incitement.

I am taking it seriously because I know how terrifying it is for an older man to voice violent fantasies about you. I am taking it seriously because there are countries across the world where violence against women is the norm. I am taking it seriously because women die every week in this country at the hands of male violence. It is not a joke. We should never ever accept descriptions of violence against women as funny.

Well said.

On the subject of racism, there doesn’t have to be explicit language to see the politics.

A white man wants to see a black woman paraded naked in the streets. What other imagery might come to mind, what other context have we seen white men parade black women in the street? A RL context, not fictional like GoT.

It is not possible for a white man to say this about a black woman and for the currency of what he says not to include the racial context.

I am not saying that it is legal grounds for prosecution, I ‘m not even sure I think he should be arrested.

But I would cheer and chuck shit if instead of his mealy mouthed non-apology he admitted his vileness and submitted to a Walk of Atonement.

Yes, you are right. Thank you for explaining using such powerful imagery. I didn't see the racism before, just the vile misogyny, but I see it now. I didn't think of the slave markets I'm ashamed to say.

Everyone should write to their MP's, asking for their clear views on making misogyny a hate crime, citing this incident as a lightning rod.

Oher · 20/12/2022 19:40

Because it’s inciting hate and violence against a woman, and the police have no problem with that - quite often they join in with the violence.

Try the same thing against a transwoman and see how quickly you end up in a jail cell. 🙄

Even more depressing is that Clarkson was paid to write that and no one at the publisher’s legal team saw a problem with it.

What a world.

NextPrimeMinister · 20/12/2022 19:47

I am no MM fan, but truly appalled by this. What an awful, awful man. No one deserves that.

Nine days wonder.
It's Clarkson, isn't it? Why is anyone surprised?

Because not everyone knew what Clarkson was like.

And this is reverberating around the world.

silverclock222 · 20/12/2022 22:27

He's hardly inciting hate and violence though is he? I can't stand any of the RF (nor JC) to be fair but this just makes him sound more of a knob than he already is but doesn't make me hate MM or want to be violent to her or him. NS on the other hand..............

Virginiaplain · 20/12/2022 22:34

I agree everyone should white to their MPs.

A Tory MP is being investigated for making racist comments to a man recently, see link above. I don't understand why Clarkson isn't being similarly investigated as well.

Harry is the king's son.
Megan is the king's daughter in law and mother to his grandchildren.

Tbh some of the RF threads here are headed the same way. But yes, he should be.
