The Sun newspaper says it regrets publishing a Jeremy Clarkson column about the Duchess of Sussex and is "sincerely sorry".

More than 20,000 complaints were made to the press regulator after the broadcaster wrote last week that he hated Meghan "on a cellular level".

He later asked for the column to be removed from the Sun's website.

The Sun said columnists' opinions were their own, but as a publisher "with free expression comes responsibility".

The piece became the Independent Press Standards Organisation's (Ipso) most complained-about article.

1. "Regrets" is the last thing I want to hear from the Sun newspaper

Tar and feathered is my idea.

The Sun is blaming it on “columnists”. How about a look in the mirror — before or after tarred and feathered, either way.

2. The fact that any theoretically sentient person could publish that

Says that they're just like Jeremy Clarkson.

3. I have less than no interest in tbe royal family, but I do perk..

up a little when I hear this kind of raw hatred.

4. let's call it what it is:racism

They hated Meghan because Prince Archie is half black. Various papers kept taking about what skin color Archie would have. They did the same thing to Diana when she was ready to marry Dodi Fayed. Meanwhile. after King Charles joins his mum, we might get to see the spectacle of King Andrew, aka an accused child rapist.

6. Unlikely. Andrew is behind Prince William and his three children in the line of succession. nt

7. Meghan herself is only part African.

It's unlikely Meghan's mother is 100%. I've seen 56% suggested.

Only a gene test would tell how much sub-Saharan genetics Meghan has.

Whatever, Archie is half of that. Assuming there is none from the royal side of course, but who knows?

But why do people care? My wife has 2% sub-Saharan genes, and I love her for it.

The British are great at acting racist while saying with a straight face that they are not.

Clarkson though - tries to be funny, and always goes one step too far. In this instance, many steps too far.

8. Yes, and even that was too much for the racists in Britain.

And apparently there are a lot of them, especially in the news media.

5. 20,000 complaints sounds like a good start to me

[malaise]

9. They are not sorry

Lots of English racists think just like him including their criminal murderous royal family.
Fuck them all forever!
And the racist trash Sun can piss off.
