Streets of every British town while crowds chanted “Shame!” Throw a clump of her feces at her. ”

Over the weekend, a spokesperson for the couple dismissed the apology as “no more than a PR stunt” after the newspaper’s editor had not personally contacted them.
“The public absolutely deserves press remorse for their dangerous comments, but if the Sun doesn’t continue to profit from and exploit hate, violence and misogyny, we shouldn’t be in a situation like this.” “The real apology is for their coverage and the change in ethical standards for everyone. Unfortunately, we are not holding our breath.”
On December 19, Clarkson made a “clumsy reference” to a scene in Game of Thrones where Lena Headey’s Cersei walks naked down the street and people throw excrement at her. He apologized on Twitter for
“Oh, I’d rather step into it,” he began. “In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to the Game of Thrones scene, which is deeply depressing to so many people. I’ve done so many hurts.” I am afraid that I will be more cautious in the future.”
In a statement, The Sun’s editors said they “regret” the article and “deeply apologize” for its publication.
