I see Clarkson has stepped in it again, in truly spectacular fashion this time. He's turning into a miserable fucker like Cleese.
For me, it's a surprising target for his pathetic opinion column innit? Really playing to the dumb masses.

Every time I see left wing this or right wing that, I think the author is a twat.
I have no idea what either means but idiots get pent up about it.
You don't know what right wing and left wing means?
No. And I don't want to know.
Politics don't have a place in my life.
I can fully understand you wanting to block out all the white noise that emanates from all sides of the political spectrum, but unfortunately politics affects all of us in every aspect of our life. So while you may not want it to have a place in your life, I'm afraid it does...

At least he appears to realize how badly he fucked up this time. His daughter needs to proof read everything he publishes/tweets etc
I've even seen Game of Thrones and I didn't realise his naked-parading-shit-throwing wet dream was supposed to refer back to it. And in any case, fantasy medieval humiliation is hardly an appropriate response to someone you don't think much of.
I saw a bit of the offending documentary. There seem to be two quite distinct messages to it. #1 is a pretty graphic horror show explanation of what it's like to be hounded by the gutter press for years, which we should all be ashamed of given what happened to lady Di #2 is just a sickly sweet advert for the Harry and Megan team, whatever that's meant to be.
Harry fucking hates the tabloid media, I don't think there's any doubt about that! I can't really say I blame him - first off there's what happened to his Mum when he was a child, then there was the fact he had to stop doing the job he actually wanted to do (active duty in the Army) 'cause a tabloid broke the gentleman's agreement to not report on him being there.
I very much doubt he's gonna receive any different treatment from them by suing them a lot and making documentaries about them though.
This may be just my theorising based on less than substantial evidence, but could it be that the media have pretty much declared open season on Harry (and Meghan) because they suspect that he's not actually Charles's son? Plus he's committed the cardinal sin of marrying a mixed-race American...

Awaits incoming...
The howls of anger from people when he married her made me suspect that all the people complaining about her were secretly hoping Harry would marry them instead.
Even Clarkson has been bitching like a jilted ex girlfriend recently.
Mind Clarkson is just desperately trying to remain in the news as he's less relevant by saying more and more childish crap.

And his daughter called him out very publicly. Good for her.
He's another one who just seems to be having a 40 year long midlife crisis, like Elon Musk.
Unless he's just "Winding the left up" which seems to be a euphemism for acting like a knob.
You don't know what right wing and left wing means?
No. And I don't want to know.

All of the buttercups up in arms over Jeremy Clarkson. It's not as if he said pour acid all over her body, is it?
When Jo Brand made a ‘joke’ about the ‘milk shaking’ of Nigel Farage by saying: “Why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?”. I don’t recall MPs writing letters calling for her to be punished by her employer. How come it’s different for Jeremy Clarkson?

Buttercup? , he wrote "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."... not on the spur of the moment but in a newspaper column that he would have proof read and so would the newspaper. It reflects extraordinarily badly on anyone who thinks that this is acceptable and tries to defend this. I'd go so far as to say you'd have to be way beyond stupid, verging on being a really grim person. Jo Brand was reported to the police by the way.

Clarkson has rarely done anything that could be taken seriously. Why would he change?
I can't stand the clown by the way. For a supposed motoring journalist he was remarkably I'll informed on road safety issues for example.
It may well be that he's a misogynist arsehole but for me he's just an arsehole. I'm surprised anyone is interested.

Did I miss the stink kicked up when GoT showed this nasty misogynist scene he referenced?
Have you actually watched GoT for more than just this clip? That's pretty tame compared to some of the stuff in it. But (importantly) it's all just fiction. Wishing that on a live human being is somewhat different.
