Nicola Sturgeon has said she feels "pity" for men like Jeremy Clarkson and
warned that "words have consequences".

The first minister was speaking after the TV presenter wrote a column for The
Sun in which he compared his hatred of the Duchess of Sussex with his feelings
for Ms Sturgeon and Rose West.

Ms Sturgeon said Clarkson's words about Meghan were "deeply misogynist and
just downright awful".

In it, Clarkson said he felt sorry for Prince Harry, following the broadcast of
Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.

He added: "Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her. Not like I hate
Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level."


Writing in his original column, Clarkson said: "At night, I'm unable to sleep as
I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she [Meghan] 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.

"Everyone who's my age thinks the same way," he added. "But what makes
me despair is that younger people, especially girls, think she's pretty cool.
They think she was a prisoner of Buckingham Palace, forced to talk about
nothing but embroidery and kittens."
