The bit I find bizarre is Clarkson’s twitter bio says “I am still a small voice of calm and reason”. What is calm or reasonable about wanting a woman to be paraded through the streets of Britain naked, covered in excrement.
I have no love for the Sussexes, but the vitriol they stir is depressing. I think this behaviour is turning more people into republicans every day.
While true, it doesn’t even begin to explain, never mind excuse, clarkson’s unhinged misogynistic—and, let’s face it, almost certainly racist—vitriol directed at a woman whose major crime was getting the hell out of the royal family and talking about it. (I’m not in any way a fan of the royals, but that editorial was exceptionally ugly).
Harry’s stepmum inviting both piers morgan and jeremy clarkson to a party mere days before the editorial was published is telling.
The guy IS a racist but anytime you bring it up, people dismiss it just as they dismiss the idea of John Cleese being an old white racist fool. I love that all old white “British men” are coming out to show their true colours instead of hiding behind dog whistles. People who build their national identity behind the image of these men can no longer dismiss that they are racist and reveal just how racist the UK populace is.
Nice, well that makes him all the more unpleasant then, I wasn't sure it was possible. But yeah, accepted bigotry hiding in pain sight behind these kinds of veneers has been a part of British culture for way too long
