How the the hell did he get away with putting this into print:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64025074

That’s it for me, as a father to mixed race children and specifically one of them being a girl, he’s dead to me.

hopefully the fat old c-unit will be dead soon. So dont lose too much sleep over his existence.

And thats coming from someone who has enjoyed him over the years, but now he just seems out of touch with the modern world.

Good lord.

Sometimes things aren't as funny as you thought when you read them back, eh?

I won't be shedding any tears if he gets properly "cancelled" now anyway.

Out of boredom, I clicked. 3 things I don't give a shit about and have no bearing on my life - Clarkson, The Sun, Meghan Markle. So... hmm. moving on.

He's always been a grade A b3ll end frankly and i'd be amazed if anyone pays any notice to him at all - hence such an over the top piece of writing.

Shame his PA didn't chin him back all those years ago! I doubt he has more than 4 punches in him before a cardiac arrest kicks in.

A complete tool.

What everyone should do with Clarkson, Piers Morgan and their ilk is ignore them

He'll be absolutely ****ing loving this. As will the Sun.

Don’t give him the oxygen of publicity. Just pretend he doesn’t even exist.

What surprise me, is that anyone's surprised.

Some people will think it's usual oafish crap, and therefore funny. Some will think it's his usual oafish crap, and therefore awful. My guess is that the ratio of the two groups is probably 52:48.

lol, you're probably right!

He's a public school **** who pretends to be a man of the people but off-camera punches his chef when he runs out of vol au vonts, and has been openly racist for decades, because it's lucrative.

I too am surprised anyone would see this as the last straw - there have been an awful lot of racism straws over the years.

What I find fascinating is that both him & Pierced Organ were invited to a do put on by Camilla.

Certainly makes the Harry & Meghan side of the story somewhat more believable.

I've paid zero attention to this Meghan Markle stuff, but I am genuinely baffled as to what she has done to enrage so many people to this extent. The Daily Mail has had her as the top 10 stories or so for months. WTF?!

It’s as if he wanted to shut up all the people who claimed that Harry & Meghan were exaggerating about the UK media. He’s stopped that debate. They are right. His column will now be cited as the clearest example among thousands that show that they are right. And the (non)response from the Royal Family to his column will remind everyone that they were right about them as well. All very depressing.

I was very taken aback with the Radio4 coverage of the recent Netflix series (which I haven’t watched) where their correspondent took on the role of apologist and defender of the Daily Mail. The UK media defending itself in action. It was so blatant that I was expecting some kind of “devil’s advocate” winking acknowledgment… but no… just actual advocate defending the indefensible… because that’s the BBC’s role now?

The response from the Royal Family appears to be invite him round for lunch

Quite.

I see his daughter has spoken out against him. Not before having her hair done and sticking a push-up bra on, obvs.

They're laughing all the way to the bank after playing the manufactured outrage game.

Jeez, this country sometimes.

And now he's trying to half-heartedly apologise for his 'clumsy' reference. I suppose it keeps it in the news churn for a bit longer.

What a, well, Clarkson-esque thing to say. Should she have done it in her pyjamas? "Woman gets dressed before speaking to people", whatever next.

Ignore the troll IHN. I make it this is their fifth account where they say things for effect. Like an anonymous Jeremy Clarkson. The multiple accounts don’t hide them very well though.

Whats that got to do with it though ? Has he had a go at your daughter too?

I don't like Megan, she is rude to the Royal Family, exploiting Harry and his grief, I wouldn't invite her round to my house for dinner.

Almost as if he wants to promote something with his fan base and get in the headlines for some free press, say, a second series of a farming program?

Clarkson gonna Clarkson.

Know them all well, do you? I mean, you must do, as there's no way you'd be able to make that kind of assessment of a relationship between a group of people you've never met.

I am allowed to come to my own conclusion as to who I let in my house. I watched a few of her own TV show to try and get as much balance as possible. I just saw that she dug herself a hole.

Which is the whole point. I seem to have offended someone, so I'll bow out of this one. 🤐

No he isn't. He is deliberately not apologising for being a racist ****. He is pretending to apologise for a 'reference to Game of Thrones' (I don't know what the reference is). He is doubling down on the racism. He knows it will wind up all the woke snowflakes who think racism is bad, and so he is continuing to stir it up.

You're right though that this keeps his name in the papers, his face in the spotlight, and the profits rolling in at the Murdoch empire.

It's all going swimmingly.

ah I see, she is rude. Well now I understand why so much fuss is made of her compared to say, Prince Andrew.

What did he say that was racist? He has previous with the 'slope' comment, things about mexicans etc.

The bit of the article i saw quoted said roughly "I hate her and she should be paraded naked through the streets"*.

I'm not about to give the Sun a click to read the rest.

I refused to watch any programme of his after he did that "funny" cyclist bit on TG finishing on a pic of a smashed up bike like that's the expected and okay outcome. ****.

* yes there is a scene in GoT exactly like this

Man who used to be on the telly in a desperate attempt to get back in the limelight, says something deliberately offensive for effect.

Seems to have worked for a bit...meanwhile the rest of the world carries on.

Shock horror someone in the media says something you don’t agree with, doesn’t make him racist !

That’s it for me, as a father to mixed race children and specifically one of them being a girl, he’s dead to me.

I’m sure he’s really bothered about your opinion! You’re overreacting if she’d been white you wouldn’t give it a 2nd thought.

People are allowed their own opinions,just because he dislikes Meghan money grabber doesn’t make him racist !

eh? Aren't Harry and Meghan the only ones that are NOT "money grabbers". They are cut off financially from the Royal Family right?

I'm sure the $100 Million didn't sway them to sell the story to Netflix ! Not at all !!!

He gets paid (quite a bit probably) to write stuff that people will get angry about, or claim to be offended by.

Whether or not he believes the stuff he writes I neither know nor care, but he is good at generating publicity, I'll give him that.

I know it's typical shock jock click crap but what is it about Meghan that triggers these old middle aged journos like Clarkson and Morgan ?

Indeed, the last time a white woman was drafted in and treated badly, there was no fuss at all.

The idiocy of that comment you made makes your insensitivity a bit more understandable so I wouldn’t worry too much.

And I'm sure that's a well sourced and accurate figure, not just something plucked out of the air.

You can look at what he said and claim, with technical accuracy, that it's not racist.

But look at the level of unpleasantness he's used, the misogynistic Game of Thrones reference he's chosen and the fact that he'll be encouraging and enabling a certain sector of the population to also direct hatred (and undoubtedly some racism) at MM... and then maybe you can see why it's caused a fuss.

In contrast to Piers Moron, who played Ronaldo like a fiddle for his own benefit, JC has ****ed up here no question.

Blokes a prick!

I used to think, he was just playing a role, but I now think he's just one of those old tossers who don't really have anything to say so just rant about shit they see in press headlines without actually looking into what the story is about.

Did I say the blokes a Prick!

She apparently turned down Morgans advances, I mean really what a catch...

Clarkson, he's just a ****, I think he just likes being contrary. Hoping some of his more left wing friends in the media call him out for this.

What did he say that was racist?

Maybe I'm being too literal but "I hate her [Meghan] on a cellular level, ....... not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon (White) or Rose West (also White)" is really trying to emphasize that he hates them intrinsically for who they are on a biological level. I mean on a cellular level what's the difference between them other than the Melanin content?

Wow if we all lived by Krytons silly comment we'd never talk to anyone, they'd all be dead to us all !

as much as you disagree with my comment I disagree with yours...

So if someone says they dislike someone does that make them racist ? No didn't think so !
