Well in fairness, “cancellation” and attempts at it are a very real thing. Just not in this case. He hasn’t been blackballed or anything.

[News] Clarkson Cancelled
- Thread starter Lenny Rider
- Start date
In today's modern language some would say Clarkson is toxic, I would say no, he's just a c+++.
Does it?
That wasn’t my intention. I would think that Clarkson is not exactly racist, but has a very inflated sense of his own worth, and by extension, very little regard for anyone who doesn’t fit his upper middle class, public school educated, circle of associates and friends.
You could say, he’s just a product of his generation and class.

As my first suggestion wasn't appreciated I've come up with a sure fire winner this time
Would you cheer Eddie Izzard if they had suggested Prince Andrew should be paraded naked through the village and the locals throw excrement at him?
Beat me to it. I used to watch Top Gear but got so fed up with Clarkson that now I watch nothing with him in.

I’m not a petrolhead one bit (cleaning the exterior of my car every 9 months
). But Top Gear with Clarkson and May was great … pipsqueak Hammond was the one I found trying too hard and irritating. Clarkson also made some brilliant doc’s about our European neighbours, also the Victoria Cross. He’s a very good writer.

I would you suggest you have made a major error there, I know which one I would prefer to shag after an evening out.I do, one of my favourite TV programmes with him as host.
Given the choice of a night out with Clarkson or one with Megane, it would be a complete no brainer for me too

I would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes than shag her. Fact. She’d probably go on Oprah and tell the world how small my dick was afterwards if I did
I‘d have no intention of shagging Clarkson either, just to be clear!
I think he also made a documentary about BrunelI’m not a petrolhead one bit (cleaning the exterior of my car every 9 months

No you're wrong.
The way South Park destroyed them there's been FAR more support for mocking and laughing at them than people rushing to their defence.
You live in a bubble.

You live 10,000 miles away and have no idea about Britain or how we feel.
Did you miss the bit where I said I wouldn’t cheer anyone who made this kind of comment about anyone?
Apart from being completely puerile, it would never happen. Unlike Clarkson and his ilk, I have no wish to throw shit ( real shit, not figurative shit) at Prince Andrew who I consider to be a complete nonentity now, apart from the fact he has a media footprint that I wish was copied by the rest of the family.

Did you watch the VC one? In the final moment he revealed that his then father in law had won the VC, hence his interest.
The Euro docs were fantastic. It was billed as a p-take of the French and Germans. Instead he had great warmth for the people and cultures, he looked at stereotypes, some true. Great observations and well written.

Jeremy Clarkson's role as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host at risk
The former Top Gear host, 62, sparked a backlash after writing that he wanted to see the Duchess of Sussex paraded through the streets naked while people threw 'excrement' at her.www.dailymail.co.uk
Not earth shattering news, I wonder if they will replace him or scrap it altogether?
Must admit I can’t remember watching it, sometimes I’m guilty of half watching things on tv but also getting distracted by NSC

For me it’s the iPad era, lethal. Especially if it’s a nsc popcorn event.Must admit I can’t remember watching it, sometimes I’m guilty of half watching things on tv but also getting distracted by NSC
Genuinely, I sometimes go back and watch things properly eg crime dramas or Nordic Noir.

Erhm that's the point. You are saying someone is wrong based on your insular view, when the other persons view is actually closer to the truth.
Their popularity is on the dive. Big time.
Getting lampooned by one of the world's most iconic satiric shows proves how their image outside of the UK is perceived.
You're in the minority with your view.
