Clarkson appears to be a Game of Thrones fan

Stuff reports:

Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson is facing widespread condemnation over an opinion piece he wrote for the Sun, in which he said he despised Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, “on a cellular level”.

In the column, Clarkson wrote that he was “dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her”.

The full quote was:

“I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level,” wrote Clarkson.

“At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.

I think this reveals (amongst other things) that Jeremy Clarkson is a Game of Thrones fan, as what he wrote is akin to the punishment handed out by the High Sparrow to Queen Cersei Lannister!

The so called walk of shame did actually happen in reality in medieval times, but more often in France than England.

Anyway goes without saying that Clarkson went too far. I am no fan of Markle, but the best punishment for her would be irrelevance and ignoring her.
