    Consequence free speech

    Is that the brother of consequence gesture posturing?

    Or just some other made up drivel for the sheep to bleat?

    Erm, what is this post supposed to be?

    You don't seem to challenge the content of mine. Just hiding behind what other people say and vague references to sheep doesn't further the conversation.

    I know you at least used to have it in you, why not actually try and articulate an opinion? I'll happily debate things, but this is just such a pointless non post. Maybe you're scared to actually debate any more after too many humiliations that you resort to these tactics?

    If the media ignored H&M then they would find they would vanish into obscurity in this country which I believe is what they both want.

    H&M have spoken and behaved with far more dignity than the Clarkson’s. Morgan’s and Wootons of the world. They have jumped on an overcrowded bandwagon and tried to see who could act the most outraged at them in some sort of competition.

    I’m surprised at Clarksons bottle in this. First sign of backlash and he’s asked for the article to be removed and admitted he’s gone too far. At least the Sun were happy to stand by the article. They know who they are and how to sell papers. I thought Clarkson had balls but he has crumbled.

    Morales eh? Clarkson has shown his are whatever the mood of media of the day is.

    What a snowflake.
    He's done everything but apologise. More sales, job done. It won't bother him one
    (....................). Enter the name of his farm.

    So it’s about money rather than having a backbone then?

    Thought he was supposed to be a man of the people. Turns out he just wants the cash.

    At least the others stand by their comments and don’t ask for them to be deleted after furthering their own brand.

    I take it you’re a fan of his crash and you are the one saying he’s made money so it’s doesn’t matter whether he stands by what he wrote.

    In Clarkson's defence he has made a lot of money out of being controversial. Often its entertaining, and when he pushes it too far you can at least speculate whether he meant it or how much of it was a performance.

    Some people are just bitter and nasty and condone that sort of public bullying because it's their nature and they don't even make a single penny from it.

    He is a master of being controversial. Thats why he is a marmite character, its made him 56 million, the media promote it.
    Top gear eg.
    Clarkson on about lorry drivers murder prostitutes. BBC aired it, along with Slants on bridge. The black sheep sketch etc. Plus many more. They know it will get a reaction.
    As for the sun standing by the article, at first they said they missed it before it went out. Yeh.

    Vanishing into obscurity by going on Oprah and doing a Netflix series.

    I don’t even know if Oprah airs in this country cos I’ve never seen it and I’ve not watched the Netflix series because it isn’t mandatory.

    That’s how ignoring them works.

    They're not looking for a lower profile though, a lower profile means less money.

    It’s not what they are looking for but it is what they should be given.
    8 pages of the daily mail dedicated to them on Monday.
    As far as I can see Wooton and Morgan spend airtime every day on them and now Clarkson has jumped on the band wagon.

    Who said the worst thing about being spiken about is not being spoken about?

    They are like spoilt children yearning attention and these goons are daft enough to give it to them.
