Chris Packham has called for Jeremy Clarkson to be jailed over his column about Meghan Markle.
The presenter has received over 12,000 IPSO complaints after he admitted to ‘hating’ the Duchess of Sussex in a now-deleted article in The Sun.
The 62-year-old made claims that he ‘dreamed’ of the Duchess being shamed in the streets, while naked.
The article was removed online after he requested it be taken down.
Springwatch presenter Chris Packham has now hit out at his fellow presenter indirectly and calling his column a ‘hate crime.’
He wrote on Twitter:
‘It’s hate crime , pure & simple . If there were any sort of justice there would be laws that would jail him . And shut down the publisher . Is this the country we want to live in ? Is this what we should tolerate ? We must ask ourselves – where is this leading ? Nowhere good .’
Clarkson previously tweeted:
‘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.’
