Jeremy Clarkson ‘apologised’ for his outrageous Meghan Markle column and got all the responses he deserved

“Clumsy” is accidentally bumping into furniture on your way out of a room.
It’s not carefully penning down how much you hate a woman on a “cellular level” (who you don’t even know), sending off your carefully worded hate-mail to a national newspaper and them printing it— Liana Jacob ܠ̤ܝܐܺܢܺܐ (@LianaJacob) December 19, 2022

If this was a flippant comment made in a pub after 8 pints I’d have some sympathy.
But it was written, sent, presumably as an email, then signed off by the editor of The Sun.
This apology feels like something Amazon have asked him to do to avoid the cancellation of his show https://t.co/LIsjwXgxRI

Remind me which part Rose West, serial killer, plays in GOT, Jeremy?

1. Apologise to Meghan, publicly
2. It wasn’t a clumsy reference, you stated that you lay awake at night fantasising about Meghan being stripped naked and pelted with shit
3. You compared her and Nicola Sturgeon to Rose West.You are going to have to do better than this. https://t.co/avwR6dwvDn

“clumsy” and “gone down badly” are doing a lot of heavy lifting there. You have a huge platform. What you wrote was vile misogyny that puts every woman’s life at risk.
You need to make a proper full apology to Meghan Markle and Nicola Sturgeon, and then delete your account.— Balloon Lady #GeneralElectionNow 💙🕯💙 (@ColonelEscargot) December 19, 2022

Oh fuck off. Like you mean that apology. Much rather you’d said nothing than this sarcastic bilge. Grow up. https://t.co/g59X8ozCJ3

No this isn’t clumsy, it is dangerous. You have millions of followers, it takes one person to read what you write as a call to action and the worst could happen, furthermore is the comparison to Rose West clumsy? Or more in the realm of normality for you?

Taken him until now to think up a tenuous excuse… and still no direct apology for the misogyny.
Nice try.
Won’t wash. https://t.co/TFoy1Pnv6o— Reece Dinsdale (@reece_dinsdale) December 19, 2022

Was this part a scene in the Games of Thrones? You wrote an entire article about Meghan dying prior to this article. pic.twitter.com/xlt9OQF8af

Can anyone read the words "I'm sorry", "I apologise" or "I have reached out to Meghan directly to apologise"? No?
Neither can I. https://t.co/LQGeE7wTxz— David Challen (@David_Challen) December 19, 2022
And last but very much not least, this.
This James O’Brien caller says Jeremy Clarkson is ‘attention-seeking’ and ‘arrogant’ just like boys who threw excrement at her black daughter when she was 14.

Feels like this one could run and run. But will Clarkson’s column?
