Jeremy Clarkson article about Meghan

I know this isn't The Royal Family board. I'm not analysing Meghan as I don't know her and she will have no affect on my life. I have become interested in the press and public reaction to her as it feels misogynistic which obviously does affect me.

This is from Jeremy Clarkson today. I feel like is the dark she's and we're hunting witches again.

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.”

It's vile. I am also disgusted that it was approved by his editors.

VanillaSugar2022 · 18/12/2022 00:31

I once worked with Jeremy Clarkson on a project and it’s safe to say he is an absolute c*.

Jeremy Clarkson http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/theroyall_family/4699988-jeremy-clarkson

I know it's discussed on The Royal Family but it's also a feminist issue.

That’s vile. He is a complete misogynist though. It’s perverse actually, like he’s acting out some sick sexual fantasy.

Ohtheweatheroutsideistoocold · 18/12/2022 01:10

It doesn't suprise me that he has sick fantasies about a beautiful young woman who doesn't make herself small and quiet being paraded naked, humiliated and assaulted. He always strikes me as exactly that kind of man.

I'm just suprised he's stupid enough to put it in print. But then he has a new series out in February so I guess it's perfect timing to raise his profile with his target audience.

Stupid little man

Ditto.

Even if it's supposed to be satire, or banter, or a parody of Game of Thrones, it is really, deeply unpleasant.

JamSandle · 18/12/2022 01:17

It is absolutely the modern day version of burning witches at the stake. Especially women who speak up and stand for something.

PicturesOfDogs · 18/12/2022 01:17

Yeah, it’s very fucking creepy.

bluebeardswife7 · 18/12/2022 01:24

Absolutely horrendous

BirdyWoof · 18/12/2022 01:32

To be fair, this has always been Jeremy’s writing / broadcasting style.

If you have read any of his newspaper articles on various cars over the years, watched any episodes of OG TopGear, or read any of his books, this is just how he is. This isn’t a new development for Meghan.

singstheblues · 18/12/2022 01:54

I have no interest in MM one way or the other but this vile, deranged, perverted attack on a woman is unacceptable. Suggesting she should be paraded naked while people throw s* at her? I don't care if it's "just his writing style" It's disgusting and inciting hate.

Read this today and couldn't believe it was allowed to be printed. Sure I know he's almost retelling the Lena heady scene from shameless but Meghan is a real person & his description of how much he hates her is vile.
I though piers was bad but this is another level.

unclebuck · 18/12/2022 09:18

Yes, he doesn't want her to loose her title or be banned from the country or any non mysoginistic "punishment" - he wants her, not Harry, her paraded naked. So he can throw shit at her. That's so fucking weird.

NatalieIsFreezing · 18/12/2022 09:20

He is disgusting. He wrote this precisely to get this reaction because he makes a living from being a cruel troll.

I don’t care if it is supposed to be satire. I don’t care if it is part of the Clarkson ‘brand’
The article reeks of misogyny. Disgraceful

catandcoffee · 18/12/2022 09:30

He's a nasty piece of work that man.
I'm assuming he's got "something" on the people that allow him to get away with this level of hatred/jealousy towards Women.

VioletLemon · 18/12/2022 09:42

Interested to see that Camilla had him & Piers Morgan for lunch the same day, drew publicity to them being there when this grotesque hate baiting of MM continues. Seems like classic white, male supremacy.

MM/H and children will need even more security now. It really is shameful, no matter what our opinions. He might be unwise, petulant and monetising his RF upbringing but this is hate bait. How can Camilla publicly endorse these men. How would she feel if it were her daughter.

C1N1C · 18/12/2022 09:43

I haven't read all the articles, and have purposefully avoided the M&H stuff because I feel they're basically just Instagram influencers... they only exist if you pay give them attention. So maybe someone can explain...

From what I've seen, I don't think it's her as a woman JC hates, but what she has influenced Harry to do and the repercussions on him and the royal family and England that JC disapproves of. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Harry was in line to be King. For many he was the favourite. He had the charisma, the personality and that slight edge to be interesting. Then comes Meghan and suddenly he abandons his family, his life, his country. He slags it off on a daily basis. He sells his story, his family's stories and his soul for hundreds of millions... basically profiteering on airing the royal's dirty laundry. The only common denominator is Meghan, who 'appears' to solely be interested in fame and attention, despite them both constantly saying they want to be left alone, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

That's just the impression I've gotten, I'll openly admit it has probably been influenced by propaganda, so if anyone has a different side or correct me, I'm open to the insight :).

liarliarshortsonfire · 18/12/2022 09:46

This says way more about JC than it does MM

PeekAtYou · 18/12/2022 09:46

@VioletLemon The lunch was hosted by Fortnum and Mason, had 200 guests and was held on Wednesday so before this disgusting article came out.
I know that JC has always been a dickhead but this is a new low even for him.

LindorDoubleChoc · 18/12/2022 09:48

That's so extreme I would actually like to know what was Clarkson's intent behind writing it. Because I don't for one second believe he actually would like to see that happen, and I know he knows that such extreme writing will provoke a huge reaction.

So is this supposed to be satire? Is it a dig at Piers Morgan? Hmm. I think it's a commentary on the OTT dislike of Meghan. Perhaps.

Vargas · 18/12/2022 09:49

And an editor approved it. Absolutely disgusting.

discontinueddiva · 18/12/2022 09:52

Vile article.
And I'm not a fan of Meghan.

Jeremy Clarkson was photographed attending a very recent lunch in Mayfair with Camilla and a host of other celebrities ?

Please complain as per above. This is a feminist issue. Horrible.
