JEREMY CLARKSON is a man full of hate and has been allowed to get away with it for too long.
He incites hatred of women and black people and of others. Who can forget when he said that trade unionists standing up for themselves should be taken out and shot?
Misogyny and racism are normalised in this way. Clarkson’s words go as far as promoting misogyny — they send a signal that it’s OK to use violent, misogynistic language — and that there won’t be any consequences.
This isn’t just a debate among the media and politicians – it impacts the real world. This weekend I had emails from my Jarrow constituents about the effect Clarkson’s words about Meghan Markle would have. One of them, Susan, said: “The comments were racist and misogynistic and represent the worst kind of oppression by powerful white men.”
