'Ridiculous’ to cancel Jeremy Clarkson over column slamming Greta Thunberg

The Australian's Sophie Elsworth says it would be “ridiculous” for former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson to be cancelled after he said Greta Thunberg deserved a "smacked bottom”.

Mr Clarkson has been criticised for the comment in his Sunday Times column in which he slammed Ms Thunberg for a lack of manners and lack of knowledge about how the world works.

“If we’re going to cancel him over that, how ridiculous,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“Saying a smacked bottom – I mean he's saying it in jest.

“But he makes some very good points, I'm sick and tired of this Greta Thunberg going on and lecturing the world.

“I actually think it’s quite sad … I think she's just being used as this pawn in this climate change debate and I don’t like it.”
