So....up front....what Clarkson said about megham is horrendous....no question.


I do want to ask though...have similar things been said about right-wing white men in power and we just brush it off?....if they haven't, then okay, but my gut feel is that awful shit gets said about right wingers and we say that's acceptable...


But Meg is black and female....so having a go at her is racist and mysoginistic....not just a case of clarkson being an asshole....

He loves publicity whether good and bad and has a high profile and therefore will get a response. I'm not interested in the whole royal circus and therefore haven't taken notice although I did see from shopping that the Clarkson backlash was front page in the Star (I was shopping and just looked, honnest). If it is hate crime then the authorities should get involved.


Personally a recent former PM said provocative things that were borderline racist and never got taken to task for this. Don't start me on Trump. Sadly we live in this new world where many across the world thrive on this sort of thing. Can't turn the clock back but feel the world is much more divided than say ten years ago.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
