Red Top Wins Over Red Top

Well thank goodness this nonsense is finally put to bed and Meghan can walk among us unhindered again.

Mr Clarkson on the other hand deserves a knighthood for services to humourous writing but maybe that's for another day.

The great and the good have had their moment to be outraged and can now carry on sanitising life for the rest of us with their sniffy attitudes.

As I pointed out - the problem with giving people who live their lives devoid of respect and manners a platform, is that their ego and absence of awareness, makes it only a matter of time before they overstep, and it ends in tears.

Harry's dear old grandad made a good fist of that, and didn't seem to do too badly image-wise.

I don't remember Phil mixing hatred, nudity, serial killers and poo into one faux pas ...

[douglas9401]

Ellipsis,

"...devoid of respect and manners a platform, is that their ego and absence of awareness..."

Again referencing a particular point rather than the generalities.

Is this likely to be an ongoing 'thing' for you?

[Ellipsis]

Huh?

Katie Hopkins lost a Libel action in Court.
Harry and Megan didn’t sue Clarkson for Libel. So no renumeration.

No, still lost me. " ...devoid of respect and manners a platform, is that their ego and absence of awareness..." is a quote from AH, not me, or you. Am I to assume that you a) agree with AH (for a change) and b) apply it to my 12:29 post?

I was in the middle of game of thrones when this came out, and Jeremy's article made more sense once I'd seen the relevant episode.

I'm pretty sure most of the Meghan haters haven't got a clue about GOT and were happy to cheer on the article at face value.

[Ellipsis]

Rose West, Nicola Sturgeon and "hatred at a cellular level" ... none of those were GoT references, just amplifiers for it. Like it needed amplification.

[tomus42]

Hatred at a cellular level does seem a bit strong for someone you don't know.

I don't like Jeremy Clarkson much but I'd class him as slightly irritating, maximum.

Gromit - // Katie Hopkins lost a Libel action in Court.

Not sure what your point is?

My reference to Ms Hopkins is, that in common with Mr Clarkson, for some reason, her opinions, uniformly nasty and ignorant as they were, were deemed worthy of publication for payment, hence the remuneration.

Her libel loss was nothing to do with H and M.
