Was Jeremy Clarkson right to apologise?

I think wokes are well liked in America - and the book sales are roaring along.

Perhaps people are reading it to weigh up the evidence?

I suppose that you could just say that you don't like them just by what you read elsewhere without taking into consideration their POV 🤷

Sadly in the current loud social agenda of "Woke and Cancel" by a vocal minority you are not allowed to learn an alternative view.  It seems that anyone that disagrees with that agenda and voices that disagreement gets cancelled.

When will people learn that it is impossible to apologise or explain to the ideological mob.

He should have just said it was humorous, that’s the clear context and now explaining a joke has of course sucked the life out of it. So, if you don’t like it, **** you and the horse you rode into town on. 

The end. 

This, this and this. Freedom of speech, anyone?

From what I have read Netflix are losing customers in droves and even the Yanks are sick of them now with their constant whining.  Netflix share price down 36% in the last year.

Considering scrapping the free password sharing as well.

Who sells books? Including the biggest selling non fiction book ever?

I assume you’re alluding to the fact that, in the UK, Harry’s book has broken some kind of record in terms of sales.   And you think Amazon want to preserve sales of that?  I somehow doubt it – afterall, what are Harry fans going to do, return the book to Amazon?


Either way Clarkson is fine.  Even if Amazon cave and make the (IMHO) poor commercial decision not to renew his series.  After all, he has his own production company and presumably the rights to future series.  He could just put them on Youtube.  I’d have thought with his draw the ad sense revenues would pay for the production costs even if it isn’t the money spinner an Amazon-funded production would be.  His neighbour “Harry’s Farm” on youtube has been doing similar for years, albeit more of a vlog than a documentary.


Obviously the numbers might be different for the Grand Tour, but I think its time has passed anyway.

We're no longer allowed freedom of speech. No longer allowed to have different opinions. No longer allowed to, not like someone, for whatever reason, and if that person happens to be black non-white then you are racist.  What a sad, sad world we are being turned into.  Sometimes I'm glad I'm old.

Even for Clarkson he did go a bit far.

But, there are few with his balls, to say it the way many think!

There is definitely something wrong with Harry, and I think a lot of it is due to Megan.

👍

if harry didnt meet megan we woudnt be having these conversations.........he isnt the brightest penny and she screwed with his mind.........i and lots of folk saw this coming when very early on in the relationship....he suddenly got rid of his guns and stopped shooting......

that on its own mapped out his marrige..........

She must have mangled his head good, everyone i talk to think he's been made a laughing stock by her....even people that may be sympathetic to some of their woke opinions.

I can see the future timeline of things already. Once the money stops rolling in she will divorce him for a big payout and cause a royal problem when she goes for full custody of the kids (via the American courts) as Harry may be "mentally unstable" ....then more books come out about her suffering and how abusive harry was or something.

I think she's a devious snake preying on an impressionable attention seeking village idiot.

Shemima Begum, Greta Thunberg, Anjem Choudary, Chris Packham?

Begum was part of a terrorist organisation.

Choudary was actively supporting a terrorist organisation and many of his followers were directly involved in terrorist attacks (up to 40% of attacks committed in the UK),

Greta can continue to say what she wants, as long as the rest of us can continue to laugh at her ridiculous behaviour. 

Packham can continue to make any claims he wishes, but the BBC should either be defunded from public money or it should show unbiased counter views, rather than its current left leaning stance. 

Henry are you really trying to compare Clarkson to terrorists?

He asked about free speech, not clarkie giving an apology. 

Big difference between free speech and insighting violence or supporting terrorism wouldn't you agree? 

Your analogy is ridiculous!
