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.”

@Walnutwhipsarenothesame
I don't live in the UK and missed her being interviewed.
Has she not "read the room" ?
Even if she has now, it's too late.
JC should never have have been allowed to publish that diatribe.

What Jeremy Clarkson wrote in that article was completely vile and I don’t think his so called apology on twitter makes it ok either.

Meghan doesn’t deserve that kind of hatred… It’s just beyond fucked up, I hope she sues the twat and the newspaper that thinks it’s acceptable to print such a vile, abusive article.

Nobody deserves that hatred. I hope she sues too. Both the paper and him personally, if that's possible.

Also there's no apology that makes that ok to say either. What can possibly be said to make it better? I mean his apology was bollocks, but how could he make a sincere apology if he thinks it's ok to say that in the first place. And no sincere apology can undo it, explain it away etc.

Some things just can't be undone.

I’d like to see JC stripped naked and have the public throw raw faeces at him. He deserves nothing less. He’s vile! 😖

Apparatently JC is horrified at the hurt he's caused.......

Owen Jones nailed it about this 'apology'

I saw her interviewed on tv this morning. She wasn’t the least bit repentant. 🤮

She's the editor of the fucking S*n, which is the worst kind of vile rag. What can you expect? She's always going to be a morally repugnant excuse for a human being.

The trouble with vile people like him, they are so full of themselves they would enjoy being paraded naked for all to see. He is someone who never feels shame and would feel no embarrassment his little bits on show.

As for throwing faeces at him, whatever comes out of his mouth is shit so he is well used to it.

MargaretMead · 19/12/2022 22:35

I would love to see him successfully sued. Is that a possibility?

Hopefully.

From what Harry and Meghan said in their documentary the papers do things they know they'll be sued for and don't settle because they know it gives them more and more engagement

GreenLunchBox · 19/12/2022 23:06

And that most people don't have the means to sue ☹️

At this point I'm sure people would be happy to bloody crowd fund to sue those fuckers

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

This nails it. JC is known for being a cunt. It eventually got him fired from Top Gear.

He's done this for publicity. You can tell he's being deliberately OTT to get a reaction amidst mountains of MM commentary.

Please watch this! He talks about the patriarchy and about how silence is complicity. It's a bit of a comfort to hear a man calling it out. I'm going to make my boys watch it.

GreenLunchBox · 19/12/2022 23:39

Clarkson's non-apology is an affront to us all and I really wish people would take a stand against him. I am heartened that he apologised but only because it means the backlash was sufficient to make his paymasters sit him down and say "we seem to have gone too far this time." Even though it's obviously because it will be harmful to them not to.

The fact that a disgusting rag like theirs think they have gone too far is great because this never happens. They usually are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want and poison our society every day with the drip drip drip of women-hating content.

Owen's video also talks about the other stuff Clarkson said in his column, which most decent people won't have read because we don't click on the Sun's content and only read the screenshot about the naked excrement disgusting scenario

I'm disgusted with myself for watching him on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire even though I hated him for previous 'escapades'. I thought he was an entertaining presenter and enjoyed his shows. For some reason I had amnesia about how I felt about him before. This is what happens when corporations keep people like him on because they know he draws crowds. Even though he was racist and assaulted a crew member for no reason etc etc etc.

Do you know what? This latest 'escapade' means I'm going to boycott him completely. He has millions of followers and his non-apology had like 50k likes the last time I checked so he won't care about me. But I need to do something and I hope others will too.

The Kensington Palace fast rebuttal team that come down like a ton of bricks of any criticism of the "chosen ones" on other threads seem strangely absent on this. I wonder why ?

Exactly

Has everyone posting on this thread actually read the article?
While obviously in terrible taste, it is clearly a joke - exaggeration for comic effect. Reading some of the responses here, you’d think it was a serious call to violence. Some people called it ‘terrifying’!? Really?!

Are you serious? You're really going to use the 'it's just a joke!!' defence? For goodness sake! In this hotbed anti-Meghan time we're in, someone writes an article about stripping a woman naked in public and assaulting her with feces and you think 'oh it's just a joke!!!' is a defence? Give your head a wobble! It's an incitement to violence. So much so that even his own daughter has come out condemning him for it. Please don't even DARE try to write it off as a 'joke'.

It is not worth trying to educate some people.
Let them drown in their own ignorance and stupidity

Lampzade · 20/12/2022 07:16

For all of you who are saying that this is ‘satire’
Please read another article written by JC about Meghan where he basically said that her sexual prowess was making Harry act the fool.
The whole article was a vile misogynistic piece and I now understand why he felt emboldened enough to write that horrible piece which he is currently being criticised for.

It’s quite weird - these older men eg p Morgan, getting into such a state about someone whom they have no reason to have dealings with ever again in their lives!

Thanks, just completed the IPSO complaint form.

R4 PM programme yesterday mentioned that 12,000 complaints were received just for Clarkson's article. The number of complaints overall made to IPSO before the Clarkson episode was 14,000.
