Jeremy Clarkson article about Meghan
Rockybooboo · 18/12/2022 00:28
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.”

The only way I cope with all of these fractious people is to ignore them. I find Meghan, Harry and JC to be very irritating and focused on keeping the spotlight on themselves by being controversial.
Retire to your farm JC and M & H, please stop talking too.

Good point. I wish they would all just go away .

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?!
"It's only banter!" 🙄
Have you watched the Meghan and Harry Netflix?
His vile comments just prove exactly what they were saying about the media in it.
To say it straight after they spoke about mental health and online abuse too.
It's like they're hell bent on proving them right.
RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 20/12/2022 15:38
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
I've got him and P Morgan blocked on Twitter (not that they'll give a toss but it makes me feel better 😂 )
Means I don't have to read their drivel and leaves them shouting a bit more into the void 😁

You can put in a complaint to ipso online it’s easy
www.ipso.co.uk/complain/
It's apparently the most complained about article in ipso history
In other news the palace have refused to condemn the article but are said to be angry Camilla is being linked to JC. So they can speak when they want to 🙄🤔

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.

Is anyone surprised that Kemi Badenoch, so-called Women and Equalities Minister, didn't sign Noakes' letter? 🙄🤔 The Tories are something else.
flippin 'eck, she thinks it's in her interest to be a clarkson acolyte!! That's very disturbing, maybe he funds her in some way, or has some dirt on her?

I don’t really get this guilty by association/ guilty by omission thing going on here.
Unless she speaks out condoning him, her opinion is currently ‘unknown’ as opposed to being positive or negative.

How am I a ‘Meghan Hater’
Just a lazy characterisation.
Are you a ‘royal family hater’? A ‘Tory hater’?
Just let me know which glib little dismissive I can aim at you
We don’t know why she hasn’t signed, it doesn’t mean she condones it.

While you’re actually thinking, any advice on how to make evidence based assertions?
Or insights into how absence of evidence is evidence of anything?
It’s fine, I’ll wait…
