Don’t cancel Jeremy Clarkson

Meghan Markle appears to be on a mission to prove that cancel culture really does exist. It seems that no one is too big to be sacked for criticising her. She boasts a body count that could soon rival her husband’s 25 Talibs. Markle – or rather the hysteria surrounding her – has ripped through the British media, getting Piers Morgan booted from Good Morning Britain, claiming a scalp at the Society of Editors, and now, if reports are to be believed, Jeremy Clarkson is about to come unstuck for his infamous Sun on Sunday column about Meghan. If only the ‘uncancellable’ JK Rowling would have a pop at her; we’d have the ultimate culture-war showdown on our hands.

Of all the people to bear the brunt of Marklemania, Clarkson was perhaps the easiest target. He was almost asking for it. In his column just before Christmas he said he loathed Meghan more than Rose West and dreamed of the day she would be paraded through the streets naked, pelted with excrement as she goes.
