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."

His own daughter even spoke out about how vile the comments were

If this isn’t proof of the irrational hatred that surrounds them I don’t know what is.

[Kate!]

It's easy to say it was a joke after the event, but I find it very offensive tbh.

The way the press and commentators have proved their exact point while trying to call them liars

Exactly. In a way I'm kind of glad someone that high profile illustrated it so perfectly. Can't believe some people are trying to defend his comments. Comparing Nicola Sturgeon and Meghan to an actual child serial killer as well. ****ing grim.

[Glenn.]

His column would’ve also gone through a few people who approved it. Despicable and even worse people are defending it

What does her age have to do with it? I'd replace that with "Yes, so she should being a woman......"

[Liam-]

*’being a decent human being’ would suffice

Like yeah he was referencing Game of Thrones, but to those (like me) who've not seen it he just seemed unhinged.

I love it, Gary Neville's a dickhead, Lineker should stick to punditry but Clarkson....Free speech, it was a joke, etc.

It is free speech but its such a shame this i how some people want to use such a powerful right as freedom of speech,

I agree with who ever commented on the editorial process. This article would have been checked before being published so I'm unsure how it slipped thru the editorial standards

probably because they assumed Meghan was so hated that no one would care how OTT and disgusting the attack was

No no, don't forget the many people, myself included, who think all 3 are dickheads.

This is probably true.

Where was the joke?

I'm normally quite good at detecting when people are joking, and this doesn't seem to be the case.

And obviously Battery Acid shouldn't be flung at Nigel Farage either.

Sturgeon was always going to react. So anyone who think any one is over reacting and Clarkson is playing it cool...No chance. Its the problem of calling someone name out. They have got to reply. And how did anyone think Sturgeon was going to reply. Do we think she was gonna go...That Clarkson, eh....having a laugh again.....Bless him.
