Jeremy Clarkson speaks out after Gary Lineker BBC row likened to Meghan column backlash

However, the former Top Gear star was less sympathetic to the migrants, criticising: “All of the people arriving in Kent have come from France which, last time I looked, is not a war zone.”

He invited readers of his Sun column to take their pick between the two different views and decide whether they agreed with “a former footballer and crisp enthusiast” or a “motoring journalist turned farmer”.

However, Jeremy’s key message was that everyone should be allowed to have their say, and he blasted the BBC for getting its “impartiality knickers in a twist”.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Piers Morgan addressed what he suggested was a similarity between the backlash Jeremy received for insulting Meghan Markle and the one Gary received for his criticism of government policy.
