    How long can this man stay in the public eye. Regardless of our thoughts on Meghan Markle or the shenanigans within the royalty. He, imo, has way overstepped the mark. People have been sacked for much less.
    Also the Sun. The editor should hang their head in shame. Most popular rag according to stats. What a sad state of affairs.

    I was thinking more ITV. And edited to include the Sun as you posted.

    Agreed. I despair at how many copies of it you see around. I have to stop myself asking folk why they read it.

    Clarkson has always been, and always will be, a knob. This is the bloke who in 2011 said that striking local government workers should be executed in front of their families. Don't know what anyone sees in him. An absolute knob.

    He seems to have something sort of self destruct wish. Can’t see him ever getting any more tv work

    The odd part was everything goes through the editor so the female editor of The Sun will have read the article and deemed it acceptable to put in the paper about another woman.

    Clarkson. Started out trying to be a controversial host on cars. Figured out that there was money to be made in being controversial and right wing in every sphere. Milks it for all it's worth. No shame.
    The Sun. Right wing rag appealing to the thickest most under educated in society. No shame.
    People who read The Sun. Unfortunately there are an awful lot...see above.

    A friend of a friend is a notable “right wing commentator” but behind closed doors is as liberal as they come. Don’t underestimate what bile people will spew for money.

    Unfortunately its the working class what keep this paper in business , if there was a total national boycott of this shameful rag by all the workers of this country then it might just go to the wall , alas there are a lot of hypocrites in this world, they do not like the sun & what it stands for but still go out & buy it .

    I can't find the words to adequately express my contempt for this excuse for a man.

    Here we go ! Ranting and raving again ! You lefties really do get into a right kerfuffle . The man’s an arse, always has been, always will be. Get over it! It’s all spin for his new Clarksons farm series! Im more surprised he watches Game of thrones to be honest .

    Someone should burn his farm down. With his kids in it.

    Obviously I don’t think that. It’s ‘just a joke’. Like what Clarkson does. Just spin.

    He’s a self-publicist, and he’s very good at it. He was brilliant in the various Amazon Prime car series with his two mates and also the Farm series. I don’t care about his private or public views. It’s a free country and he can say what he likes. Prince Philip was as controversial as they come , wherever they went, and nobody criticised him for it.

    He’s a funny guy on the telly and even funnier in his books. I’ve read several of them. I like him and I much prefer colourful characters to the grey, bland, nothing to say types that often get in front of a camera.

    We live in a beige society. It's easier to be safe.

    We don’t live in a free society and you can’t say what you want particularly put it in print , I’m sure he and The Sun will find that out in due course

    Agreed. The same c&nts who were apologists for Prince Philip and his lazy bigotry, are likely the same people who think Clarkson is just ‘having a laugh at the loony left’.

    The $hite he spouts is vile. And he knows it. He’s made a career of it. And doesn’t care. I put him in the same bracket as Katie Hopkins.

    His Sun article is hateful and shameful. Just like the Sun is. Vile misogyny. People guffawing at it will have daughters, mums, wives, grandparents. It’s NOT OK to just be allowed to print this in mass media and brush it off as ‘well it’s just Clarkson’. It isn’t.

    His apologists are wide and varied, and should be ashamed for defending him.
