I'm not sure how much time May and Hammond actually spend time together. I've heard May interviewed before (and Hammond for that matter) saying they only see eachother at work.
Before i join everyone, pitchfork in hand, can we get some context for these words?
I've heard Clarkson basically say similar previously about others and its usually done with a smirk on his face. A similar smirk you might find on a fisherman who drops a hook into a school of overenthusiastic fish. Its very much his dark sense of humour and comedic ability shining through.
He is the British version of Sam Newman. A lot of what he says is controversial. He actually believes very little of what he says though and its usually said to grab a headline and make a point.....sometimes far from the point it appears he is making.
Not saying he should've said it. Just suggesting a lot of people are missing the joke.....which is the way in the modern times.
The argument of whether the joke should've been made, is a deeper discussion that is part of the cancel culture umbrella.
Clarkson's daughter disagrees:
"My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by media.
I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred."
As Sean Biggerstaff commented, Clarkson is a "rancid old thug" and he uses what may pass as humor to some folk to lead the way for anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, misogynists, anti-science fruitloops and anyone else who shares his bizarre views on farming, regulation, welfare and politics.
