Jeremy Clarkson and Meghan Markle: The Sun column gets 6000 ... (BBC News)

In a controversial column for the Sun, Clarkson wrote he "hated" the Duchess of Sussex.

But all of us, as we exercise those important rights, have to behave with a degree of responsibility." Listen to the noise Jeremy. They think she was a prisoner of Buckingham Palace, forced to talk about nothing but embroidery and kittens." Does he mean it? Of course he doesn't mean it." NO Jeremy Clarkson. She said he's "not there to be taken seriously" and "his word is there to be found funny, and it always has been". Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. "But what makes me despair is that younger people, especially girls, think she's pretty cool. I hate her. She added: "Freedom of speech is really important and one of the values all of us cherish. "My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media," she wrote.

Jeremy Clarkson Meghan Markle Jabs Get Backlash, Host Responds (Variety)

Jeremy Clarkson has issued a statement following backlash against his inflammatory comments about Meghan Markle in a column for The Sun.

The parting of ways came at a great cost to the broadcaster, for which “Top Gear” was worth more than £50 million per year, and brought in a massive global audience. “My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media,” wrote Emily Clarkson. The arse that emitted him, as I said yesterday, is Rupert Murdoch,” said Pullman on Monday. In the column, which Clarkson writes weekly for The Sun, he suggests that Prince Harry has no “control” over his actions anymore, largely thanks to Markle. 16 column, titled “One day, Harold the glove puppet will tell the truth about A Woman Talking B*ks,” the former “Top Gear” presenter wrote of Markle: “I hate her. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.”

Jeremy Clarkson Has Nothing Left to Say (RoadandTrack.com)

Americans got to know Jeremy Clarkson as the face of Top Gear, but not the Top Gear that had existed since the 1970s. We only ever got the megahit Top Gear, ...

The angry critic angle only works when the critic has something unique to say; in so many of these columns, Clarkson has joined the existing chorus of these papers in his own mismatched voice. The tone is familiar to anyone who knows Clarkson's work, joke formats you'd recognize from any Top Gear essay mixed in with a certainty that he knows better than you. That was the theme for almost the entire run of the show; Top Gear would not be Top Gear without Clarkson's ability to effortlessly move between the poetic and the crass, but his process somehow always seemed to come with either making someone else angry or getting angry himself. [short-lived talk show](https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a14480859/jeremy-clarkson-talk-show/), they trusted him to revive the once-valuable Top Gear brand in his own image and stood by that version of the show for 13 years. We only ever got the megahit Top Gear, the one re-oriented around Clarkson as a sort of hour-long homage to car culture in general years after the end of its time as a British MotorWeek. Americans got to know Jeremy Clarkson as the face of Top Gear, but not the Top Gear that had existed since the 1970s.

Violent misogynistic fantasies like Jeremy Clarkson's are not new ... (The Guardian)

The diatribe against Meghan shows how low the rightwing media is willing to go, writes Guardian columnist Zoe Williams.

He would have us believe that he’s merely returning to a freer, more honest time, when blokes could be blokes in the pages of newspapers, without the threat of “cancellation”. All that matters is that a hate figure has been created, a shortcut, a shibboleth, a means by which bigots can identify one another and give voice to their prejudice, without fear of censure. It’s all so obvious, that’s what is galling: an obvious bid to sow division, to spur hatred, to justify misogynistic fantasies under the cover of a splenetic royalism, to dress up hate speech as fair comment. The dominant value system of the British rightwing press made [her life unliveable](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/15/prince-william-bullied-sussexes-royal-duties-harry-meghan) in this country, in a concrete and demonstrable way. Harry and Meghan, furthermore, have become the human targets of a set of bellicose but quite abstract assertions: take your equality, your cultural sensitivities, your respect, tolerance, humanity, take it all and shove it. [own daughter](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/18/clarkson-criticised-daughter-saying-megan-markle-should-paraded/) to be among his opponents?
