I'd usually say that genuine apologies should be accepted because if you don't give people a "place to go" when they apologise, they're just going to double down.

In this case though, reading what he's said at that link, I feel like he just still doesn't get it... he's suggesting that people only didn't like what was said because they didn't realise it was a Game of Thrones scene? Everyone knows it's a scene from game of thrones, that's not the point. That's like saying about someone, "Oh how I fantasise about a massive man-mountain jamming his thumbs into this guy's eyeballs and crushing his skull" and thinking it's only a problem if "people don't realise it's from Game of Thrones". What difference does it make where he got the "inspiration" from? He's still wishing the same thing on that person.

I'm also not convinced he's genuinely sorry. Sorry that he ****ed up two huge contracts, yes. Sorry that the people who work with him on his shows will have to find other work, sure. I think he's sorry he said it because of the fallout, not because he actually sees that there was anything wrong with it.

That's stupid, everyone loves Clarkson's Farm

At least we're getting two more series of Clarkson's Farm.

It might have run its course after that anyway.

[UserSince2005]

They crucified Jesus also. Stay strong Jez.

[joeysteele]

If they sack him from ' ... Millionaire' then I'll be able to watch it again.
Since I never have since they made him presenter.

Why he's anywhere in media outlets is beyond me.
I never have and never will like him.
So personally will never watch anything he's involved in, I just find him wholly sickening.

So I hope ITV get him off mainstream TV too.

Rise against Meghan and prepare to fall

Imagine if everyone who said insulting comments about Trump over the past few years got cancelled? Pretty much every celebrity would be on the dole queue.

Selective outrage.

Whatever Clarkson said, I agree with it. Come for me if you dare, cancel culture.

Same people who defend Clarkson's pig behaviour,are also the same ones who downplay Tate's latest controversy with the law .

Someone was blaming the sun newspaper for printing what Clarkson said, erm well what about the fact he still said what he said .... Hello responsibility :crazy:. We all know newspapers . And I don't believe he's sorry .....he has always come across a bloke who thinks the world owes him, he's also a dreadful host on millionaire.

Personally, I've never liked him or his attitude ever since I first became aware of him many years ago now.

His last vile content was disgraceful and totally indefensible no matter who he was getting at.
It's no surprise the trashy Sun allowed it to be printed.
They are a pairing well suited.

His apology is only after all the backlash and him possibly being hit in his pocket.

I've never watched him on Millionaire so can't comment on if he's okay or not.
The ONE reason I don't watch it at all now is since he was made presenter.

He's someone for me who should have NO given media outlets whatsoever.
He's just a vile horrible individual in my view.

Clarkson is obviously popular or people wouldn't watch his shows and he wouldn't have been given the contracts in the first place. It's not like he didn't have previous form and the media were unaware.

I don't particularly like him, so I don't watch. It causes me zero stress and no pearls are clutched :laugh:

[rusticgal]

I never used to like him much...I found him a bit arrogant. However on Clarksons Farm we saw him as a great personality with a dry sense of humour that not everybody gets.
Like I have said before I found his comment funny...but it was the sort of thing you say amongst friends who know you dont MEAN it and that its just his banter...

How do you feel about his other tasteless remarks over the years? .

He clearly loves being a massive tw@t .

I saw earlier that ITV are keeping him for Millionaire :conf:

He's an awful host , and before the Meghan comment...I've been saying how useless he was , he just sits there and acts bored and has the charisma of a dustbin . When it comes to 'ask the host' ...if it's not about cars or something, he doesn't know the answer :bored: .

This is what happens when you’re vile to people for clout and then fail to take responsibility or accountability.

Pack that gammon back to market

The problem with Clarkson is that someone, a long time ago, told him his attempts at coarse humour were funny. That person has alot to answer for. I never liked Top Gear - just not my kind of show. He isnt funny. I cant stand Mini Clarkson Richard Hammond too, James May is OK though.

A lot of people told him it was funny, to be fair, it was pretty standard Council Telly a decade or two ago... he's failed to roll with the times, though. I'm sure he can get a show on TalkTV or one of those other channels aimed at ruddy faced blokes.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Amazon told the Telegraph that “any speculation that this has anything to do with anything like that [Harry and Meghan] is nonsense.”

However inciting violence isn't really unjust to sack Clarkson unlike some cancel culture stuff.

What he said was truly disgusting, obviously it doesn't take away from his achievements in the past, but should he really be being celebrated when the guy doesn't understand fully that what he said was horrible.

Without meaning to be offensive.

But in what reality is Holly & Philip's controversy anywhere near as bad as Clarkson inciting violence against an individual that he doesn't like?

Meghan detractors to attack Meghan.If anyone attacked her then that would be because they're crazy moron's, not because Clarkson wrote a piece in a small column of a UK newspaper.

Boris had much worse said against in on the front pages and on the television over and over again last year. Were those people inciting violence or just having their opinion?

When Clarkson commits an act of violence on her himself (an actual crime) then let the law do its job, until then, let the man have his rights to freedom the same as the rest of us.

I think someone having unrealistic thoughts in his sleep and jesting is nothing compared to someone twisting and manipulating the truth to hurt people out of vengeance…

I agree with you actually that if someone were to harm Meghan physically, then they are the one that should be held responsible by the law.

However Clarkson knows that Meghan has some (not all) but some crazy detractors out there, that don't need much of a push to try to harm Meghan, so his words do carry quite a bit of weight when he is bringing one of GOT's most serious scenes into his so called joke/rant.

And anyone wishing harm to Boris is disgusting as well, there are far worse people in Politics than Boris Johnson.

You're seriously comparing a Comedic Kids Cartoon that makes it very clear that it's absurd, to a rant by Jeremy Clarkson that has no punchline or detection of humour to it at all, despite him trying to claim that it's the GOT reference.

Yeah i'm also fed up of people comparing Clarkson's humour as "tongue in cheek" . This grotesque man has form when it comes to being controversial & tasteless ,he knows what he's doing...this isn't a "mistake" or just a "joke" . He's always been a pr1ck.

It wasn't tongue in cheek I agree.
He chose the wording because HE meant every word.
His history of hateful commenting goes back much further than just this latest vindictive spouting of his intense dislike of someone.

There'd have been no apology of any sort had there been no or hardly any backlash.

The backlash is because even some of those who are furious with Harry and his wife, are sickened by the words he CHOSE to use and rightly have reacted with some decency to condemn his chosen written outburst.

I can't stand him.
I've never liked anything about him over many years.
He's just a vile horrible bigot.
For me, it's sad anyone like him gets rewarded with TV work and has given to him any media outlets for his hateful ranting.

He can say what he likes in private and to the friends ?? who find his bile in any way amusing.
I'm just glad this time, more decent people have stood up to condemn and complain.
Time ITV listened to them too rather than be seen to be supporting him.

All I hope for him is he's taken off and denied any official media work.
Let him rant despicably all he likes to HIMSELF.

[bots]

there is always an outlet of one form or another for anyone that is in any way popular. People seem to be misguided in that they think ITV and newspapers are large reaching outlets, they're not, not compared to the massive reach across the internet from a million different media sources

[arista]

ITV have agreed
another series with Clarkson

Sorry, but I found the piece both amusing and tongue in cheek.

[Liam-]

The people that find it funny or aren’t that bothered because it was a ‘joke’ are also the same types of people that would be up in arms if the exact same thing was said about someone they like, that’s what it boils down to, they dislike Meghan so much that they find any negative thing said about her funny, even if it’s an angry middle aged man fantasising about committing public sexual violence against her, that’s where we are as a society

[Alf]

Should Eastenders be cancelled for depicting suicide, violence, drug abuse ect? Are they inciting their viewers to do the same?

I think the country needs to have a serious debate on getting rid of the soap operas.

Hardly comparable Alf. One is a fictional TV Shows with Fictional characters the other is a man with a lot of media influence suggesting this is what should happen to a real person (who already has a lot of people who strongly dislike her)

[bots]

Clarkson doesn't tell jokes, he sells himself as an entity in the media. In order to gain attention, part of his job is to be controversial. Some people may find it funny, others not, that's not the point of what he is doing, the point is to gain attention

Nah, I reckon most people would laugh if it was as well worded as Clarksons was. I know I did with trump and boris when I read or watched satirical stuff.

So I dont think your crystal ball is accurate this time Liam.

And where we are as a society is paedos now being called minor attracted persons so they can be seen as more acceptable in society. That's where you should be aiming your angst..not at some people finding some old blokes words funny.

Eastenders have media influence. They're characters are influential on their viewers

Because as much as I dislike Hopkins, there's no way I'd support just as a jjoke or meant, the parading of anyone, male or female, through the streets naked, having other people's mess thrown at them.

No need for that at all.
In fact that anyone could even mean it or joke about it simply disgusts me.
