Jeremy Clarkson has form on hate speech. Misogyny, racism & pogonophobia too
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it is not surprised at Jeremy Clarkson’s misogynistic and racist comments about Meghan Markle, for which he has now issued a form of an apology.
Clarkson has a history of hate speech even extending to the less serious issue of beards
He grew a beard in 2014 but by 2015 he was writing in a tabloid paper in 2015 that people with beards should be arrested. It appears however that he did not turn himself into police.
The Beard Liberation Front Beard expressed concern previously about remarks Clarkson made in his Sunday Times column on 7th March 2021. They included his view that he had dribbled in his beard and food had become lodged in it. Whether or not these comments were accurate they are amongst the well-known pogonophobic tropes in existence.
