His pride and ego is worth more than his net worth - both taken a beating losing these networks, hence his desperate apology

Just Amazon for now, rumours of others

On a purely personal level I’m mainly pissed off Amazon have cancelled him as I like the Grand Tour and the farming show.

It’ll probably get replaced with a show about transgender vegan yoga with Greta Thunberg.

I’ve always quite liked his shows. Without ever liking Richard Hammond (I’ve always liked Wipeout n’all) and not agreeing with Clarkson, I always liked Top Gear and the Grand Tour (not seen his farming show).

I can't believe you just said that, what with free speech being dead and that.

Clarkson is still free to say whatever he wants, maybe just to less of an audience if he loses his TV gigs. Still, Sun readers will continue to lap it up.

When people say "Free speech is dead" what they mean is "It's unfair that saying cunty things has consequences now".

Im gonna take a wild punt that this definitely doesnt happen
 
Would've been gutted 10 years ago back when we had peak Top Gear and Clarkson making top class documentaries like the raid on Nazaire.

But now... He seems have become a parody of himself and now seems to only put out low quality rubbish like The Grand Tour, Millionaire etc. I've been told the Farm show is decent but off the back of his other recent work I can't bring myself to watch it.

Top Gear was full of racism, they seemed to get away with offensive remarks often, in the name of "humour"

Mexico insults (February 2011)​


Richard Hammond joked that Mexican cars reflected national characteristics, saying they were “just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat”. May described Mexican food as “like sick with cheese on it”. Clarkson predicted they would not get any complaints because “at the Mexican embassy, the ambassador is going to be sitting there with a remote control like this [snores]. They won’t complain, it’s fine.”

Let's not forget the piss taking of American tourists, the parking capabilities of the French, the careless attitude of the Italians, the manufactoring skills of the ' average Brummie '. Morris Marina drivers, Peugeot drivers, caravanners, There isn't much come to think of it that he doesn't have a go at. Dont take it seriously and dont get offended, you can always turn it off.

The turning into a sad grey world were you cant take the piss out anything. I was driving a Peugeot at the time of that episode, thought it was bloody funny.

all them are fine and probably had a hint of comedy thrown in

That Meghan one wasn't, it was pure bile and hatred that's been building a long time - it rightly received the backlash it did.
