Chris Packham has appeared to call for Jeremy Clarkson to be jailed for his Meghan Markle column.
Springwatch presenter Packham seemed to indirectly slam Clarkson for the column, branding his opinion piece a ‘hate crime’.The Springwatch host called for the ex-Top Gear presenter to be jailed ‘If there were any sort of justice there would be laws that would jail him. And shut down the publisher.
The Crown Prosecution Service recognises hate crimes on the basis of race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and transgender identity. This isn’t the first time Packham has called out Clarkson. In 2019, the broadcaster hit out at the Grand Tour presenter for calling Greta Thunberg ‘mad’ and ‘dangerous’ for ‘causing children to have sleepless nights with her idiocy’.
‘Oh dear,’ he tweeted on Monday afternoon. ‘I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people.The Independent Press Standards Organisation has said it is examining the thousands of complaints that it has received, however, it will take some time to process due to the volume.
