Clarkson: Wokeness will get us all sacked

STAR FEARS FOR HIS JOB IN PC MINEFIELD

JEREMY Clarkson reckons everyone will eventually get sacked for saying something that upsets the “woke” brigade. The Who Wants To Be A Millionair­e? host fears his own days are numbered.

He said life is “really scary” for people who “still eat meat and use petrol and share inappropri­ate jokes on Whatsapp”.

The 61-year-old added: “For some time now I’ve harboured a worrying sense that soon everyone will be sacked, because all of us are in a minefield and eventually we are bound to tread on something that goes bang. “Sooner or later I’ll come here and say something that is deemed by the hysterical court of public opinion to be unacceptab­le, and that’ll be that. I’ll be gone. “You’re on borrowed time and soon you’ll get a tap on the shoulder from the HR Stasi. I speak often to my friends about this and all of them are frightened to death. “They know that if they continue to eat and do and say whatever they’ve eaten and done and said for the past 40 years they’re going to be out of a job.

“And even if they don’t they’ll still

be out on their ear for having eaten and said and done it back in 1974.”

The telly veteran host listed a number of victims punished for upsetting the woke world.

They include cricketers who said “several years ago that girls who play video games get more sex than those who don’t” and US actor Armie Hammer because it had “been decided he may be a cannibal”.

And he said non-celebs were at risk too, adding: “Don’t think you’re safe just because you run a shoe shop in Welwyn Garden City.

“One day you will ask a new salesgirl to make you a cup of coffee, and it’ll be curtains.”
