I don't think it is hard. He made a msitake. To lose his way of livng fo rthat mistake is a crazy over reaction.

No, I’m just saying we can’t dismiss it as ‘only two’. Anyway, one is too many.

He’s made mistake after mistake over the years. To be honest it was incredible he was still on TV anyway.
he's not really being deprived a living though is he ? Amazon have made a call (which is entirely theirs to make) that they no longer want him associated with their brand ... that's up to them ... he's not been fired (not like you or I might be), hell he's going to have shows on amazon at least until 2024 I believe ... they're just not going to make any more, which is again up to them ... he has other work and he'll have other opportunities - whether his existing shows (or rebadged equivalents) get picked up by other companies, or he does something new ... he'll probably bring a book out and call it 'Clarkson: Cancelled' and it'll probably sell a **** ton ... he's not exactly going to be heading down the food bank any time soon ... let's have some perspective here. He'll be fine, you don't have to worry about him.

I don't feel sorry for Clarkson, he appears to be a knob, but he makes good TV. I don't read his articles or value his opinions, I just like GT & Clarkson's Farm and feel it would be a shame if these ended.
I don't blame H & M - I applaud their stance. I agree with their descriptions of the press.
Clarkson leads a privileged life and if he didn't make another penny he'd be fine. Good for him. But I would have liked to see more Clarkson's Farm - I think it is a really good programme and really highlights the issues faced by farmers and Caleb is funny.

Sherlock - We will never have equality and will continue to see women physically and verbally abused when people are willing to make excuses for the perpetrator as some of the posters above are doing.
I'm not a lover of Meghan but I do believe Clarkson crossed the threshold of decency here and there is no excusing him.

Wouldn’t he have considered his ‘consequences’ before he did whatever it was?
It’s not like it’s the first time. He needs a constant stream of misdemeanours to perpetuate his naughty image?
I thought he was un-cool enough for me to stop worrying about him. But he’s still going isn’t he!

you'll have, I believe, 2 more seasons of Clarkson's farm

So you're justifying violence because you don't like the people?
Couple of racist words used, couple of horrid comments, couple of violent incidents... how much rope does he need?

Obsud? So you can be a total pr*ck but because your show is popular you should be untouchable. Fortunately it doesn’t work that way.

He hasn't been deprived of a living per se, just with Amazon. If I was the CEO I wouldn't want him being associated with the Amazon brand too despite the fact I hate what Harry is currently doing.

It's good amazon have decided to send their relationship with Clarkson. They are probably right to do so as were the BBC.
Actions have consequences. Plenty of current threads complaining that politicians get away with breaking the law whilst normal people don't.
If I posted what Clarkson did on social media I get fired, no payoff, no when the contract runs down. Instantly dismissed. I am failing to see why amazon aren't completely in the right here.
Clarkson, more generally seems a pretty unpleasant entitled d*ck. So was Jim Davison and society decided it wanted to move on from that kind of humour.

I don't see it as being perma angry, he hasn't been short of work since he was allegedly woke cancelled by the bbc and he won't be short of work after this, but they don't want to be currently associated with him which is fair enough. Actions have consequences, see Andrew Tate.

People ahve called for him to be sacked from ITV too. People on here do want to deprive him of a living. Which is a fairly gross over reaction

Wow, I guess that's more of the social nedia world you live isn't it? You're equating someone who mid a badly timed joke about another celebrity with someone who actively promotes misgyony and has just been arrested for Rape and people traffiking. Seems a bit extreme
