    You’re just a cop out mate. Admit to your hypocrisy. Couldn’t give a flying **** about some rich American bint myself……but then again, I couldn’t give a **** if the Royals ceased to exist either

    You can yell “cop out” a couple of times more if you like but it won’t make it true.

    Yeah I think I’m more towards your view tbh, I think I’m a little disappointed that brand and Miriam didn’t word their disgust better and I’m not outraged at Clarkson, I mean the guys whole persona is of a misogynistic old fart, so it’s hardly a surprise. I guess what I’m getting at is all comments were a bit off in my opinion.

    Whereas your man, John Macdonnell, actually did call for the lynching of a femail MP!

    That segment is the vast majority of the UK. Her popularity is down there with the nonce.

    White males over 50 aren’t the majority of the UK fortunately. More people couldn’t give a ****.

    Yeah of course his comments were vile….but that’s who he is, a nasty bloke…..it’s just the outrage that’s been shown by some that’s gets me.
    Again Brand and Margolyes were only playing to type…….being controversial is what they do…..no problem if we accept it for what it was

    Opinion polls suggest otherwise, but then you're usually completely out of touch with the majority of people in this country.

    I’m out of touch with the generation that has constantly forgiven and made excuses for the government but fortunately I have you for that.

    I wouldn't seek to defend any of those, but I think there are big differences between them and this Clarkson example. Firstly, they were all made about politicians, who I would argue are closer to fair game than Meghan Markle is. More importantly, they were all - I would presume - off the cuff remarks, in contrast to Clarkson's carefully chosen words published in one of the country's most widely read newspapers after having gone through an editorial process.

    Clarkson deliberately chose to invoke images of a naked mixed-race woman being ritually abused and humiliated in circumstances akin to a lynching. The appeal to misogynists, racists, and downright perverts is obvious.

    I won't defend Clarkson's words because for a bloke who's writing is always over the top, his comments on Markle were over the top still further and it's right that he's apologised. But the fact is, she really is despised by a large part of the UK population, and America seem to be waking up to the eternal whinging of the Sussexes. Apparently, Gingernuts has held back some of his bile to put in his book which comes out on Jan 10, and he's doing an interview for it two days earlier.

    So you have access to all the relevant opinion polls and know the exact demographic of all those polled?

    He hasn't apologised.

    "In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."

    Not even a hint of an apology there.
