O/T Clarkson.

[Stovicmiller]

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.

. You’re over thinking it , I just found it funny .

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 .

Basically they want the fame and fortune but don’t want the work that goes with it

Folks sympathising with them gets them $3 million from Netflix.

I personally found the comment from Jo Brand fantasising that people shouuld not throw milkshakes at Farage, but instead throw battery acid quite funny. Similar in that it is a joke from a celebrity fantasising a violent against someone who's world views you don't like for the amusement mainly of people who share the same political view of the celebrity make the joke.

But oh, the outrage on here at Brand's joke!! People seemed to want censorship then for some reason!

(Not making any judgement on Clarkson's fantasy. Just pointing out if the recipient of the 'joke' was someone you personally did like and respect, you most likely would have joined with the moral majority on here that deemed Brand's 'joke' unacceptable). Imagine if a Steve Coogan wrote exactly the same comments as Clarkson about Suella Bravaman - I suspect the same people on here who are finding it funny would be calling it outrageous!)

I sympathise with their situation Grist above anything else , the $3m is nowt at the side of the trappings of royalty when all is said and done , let's not forget Harry was born in to this thing and didn't have a choice , I've often wondered if any of them really wanted it if they'd had a choice .

Meghan is a different kettle of fish because she did and it wouldn't take a genius to work out the royal family business isn't all beer and skittles but the lad put a ring on her finger and so she clearly comes in to it .

There isn't a plan for anyone dropping out of royalty and perhaps they should be , well not unless your a nonce of course .

**** v acid big difference.

[Lolmorgan]

What I find funny is why people give a feck about what Clarkson does or says.

Oh, the forcibly stripping a woman naked and hanging her upside down in the street isn't violent at all then?

[great_fire]

He didn't even say that though.

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying but you are comparing **** with acid . Neither is very nice but I know what I’d sooner get thrown at me and it’s not acid.
