The Sun under fire over Clarkson's Meghan hate rant as ex-judge calls in the police by LeahMahon_
A letter sent to Sir Mark Rowley warns that Meghan and black people in the UK are at risk of racial violenceA FORMER judge and race equality groups have urged the police to take action against former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson for his vile racism towards Meghan Markle.
The article has been widely condemned and was written in response to Meghan and Harry’s bombshell Netflix docuseries where the couple recount their dramatic departure from the Royal family and the institutional racism Meghan faced at the hands of the firm and the British press. In a letter to the Met Commissioner, Herbert, Society of Black Lawyers and Badung Africa, said Clarkson’s column was “deeply offensive” to people of colour.
The letter, which has been co-signed by Lee Jasper; a former Police & Race Adviser to the Mayor of London, also blastednewspaper’s editor Victoria Newton for having crossed the line in publishing the shocking article. The letter went on to slam the tabloid rag for previously publishing the “most offensive, xenophobic and racist comments that have appeared in a British newspaper for some years”.of dredging up a “significant history” of “racially offensive, and misogynist comments, whilst purporting to highlight women’s rights”.
He wrote on Twitter: “Oh dear. 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. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.”
