O/T Clarkson.

Hmm sounds like you want press censorship

The truth of the matter is they wanted to leave the royal family and go their own way and unfortunately for them it's pretty much like The Hotel California .

The means to earn a living outside of royalty whilst remaining anonymous is just a practical impossibility .

What I mean is that the levels of security they need needs paying for and doesn't come cheap I'd imagine .

The only means to earn a living is to do the things they are doing which comes with the price of not achieving the quieter life .

Absolutely trapped and whilst I'm no royalist my human side has a great deal of sympathy for the couple .

I suspect before too long it's going to take its toll on the couple and they'll probably split .

On what? There is literally nothing else to report on them. There was an article a few days ago on what colour Kate wore and whether it was to piss off H&M.
The bottom of the barrell has been scraped.

I’ve seen Game Of Thrones so I don’t think Clarkson removing his plagiarised idea is censorship.

Edit
I also said earlier that I don’t think he should’ve pulled the article and stood by it. That’s the opposite of censorship.

How can he pull an article that was published in his column in the press.
He has stood by it, has there been an apology? No.

“ And The Sun has now removed the column from its website, saying: "In light of Jeremy Clarkson's tweet he has asked us to take last week's column down."

I hope you are not hoping for him to ride off into the sunset. He winds up people, that is his job.
Seems to be working.

You could say that he is a confectioner of outrage, manipulating anger for the masses.

But is it authentic? Is he genuinely angry and outraged or simply posturing populist stances to manipulate his readers in order to take their cash?

I suspect that he is not the angry one, that his readers are the ones left outraged, punching furiously and impotently at their keyboards.

Why should he ride off into te sunset? Kerchingggg...

Clever chap indeed.

I’d prefer him to do the opposite and stand by what he says.

Saying sommat original again would be good as well. I like him on who wants to be a millionaire And I’m looking forward to more of the farm programme.

Not sure where I have suggested that I’d like him to disappear.
I’m just disappointed that he’s jumped on a bandwagon and then expressed regret instead of coming up with something original like he usually does.

I prefer the Jeremy Clarkson that punched piers Morgan. Not the one that wants to follow him.

I'll never understand why some people cannot understand the difference between "free speech" and "consequence free speech^.

Free speech is not being able to say anything and not face any consequences.

It doesn't surprise me for a second that some of the characters on here agree and think she should be stripped naked in public and have excrement thrown at her. He'll hide behind a joke for that wording, but when he says that many people his age agree I think he's deadly serious.

I can't help but wonder what happened to those people of his generation to become so bitter and mysoginistic?

Feel free to agree with him here everyone, I encourage you. Don't worry, you're not being denied that right, but you are telling people a lot about the way your mind works.

you raise good points, but we have to be careful when we look at the area of law, as I am sure you know there are differences between common law, rights and legislation. By consequence I assume you refer to associated slander legislation, as an example. However the flaw in the argument comes when the lawmakers themselves are corrupt or tyrannical, if our government passed a law that stated it is illegal to make a rude remark against people who are left handed, and that is punishable by 50 years in prison, how would we feel about that? We cannot support the creation of laws that attack our rights, and free speech should fall into the area of rights (it is partially covered in the Bill of Rights, but no where near the way it is in the US constitution). Unfortunately in the UK our constitution is not designed to protect the people it is focused on the crown and follows the 1689 revolution, although Jefferson and others based the US Republic constitution on English common law and the English bill of rights and the work of Locke, Hume etc, we do not share the protection as do our US cousins. The sadness is that in the US now the federal government abuses its power and attacks the constitution at every opportunity, same happens here in Germany. If people are really interested in free Speech it is worth looking up the Free Speech Union they carry out some good work in the UK.
