One X user responded by claiming that the former Top Gear presenter could only write about cars. “But what if someone disagrees that, say, the M5 is a bit boring?” Clarkson replied. “Everyone is so angry all the time these days.”

Clarkson has written for The Sunday Times since 1993 and for The Sun since 1996. In 2022, the presenter came under fire for a column in The Sun in which he wrote that he disliked Duchess Meghan, Prince Harry's wife.

Clarkson wrote that he imagined Meghan being paraded naked through the streets like Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. According to the BBC, thousands of complaints were received from readers.
