The internet was abuzz today as the name Jeremy Clarkson began trending on Twitter. Fans of the former Top Gear host eagerly clicked on the hashtag, hoping that this time, their prayers had been answered and Clarkson had finally shuffled off this mortal coil.
Alas, they were disappointed. It turned out that the trending topic had nothing to do with Clarkson’s demise, but was instead related to his biased opinions about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, much to the chagrin of Twitter.
The disappointment was palpable. Twitter users took to the platform to express their collective grief, with one user writing, “This is why I never get my hopes up. #JeremyClarkson“
Still, that didn’t stop people from speculating, with many people writing tweets like, “Please let it be the end of Jeremy Clarkson,” and “I hope it’s an announcement of his death.”
The tweets were mostly tongue-in-cheek, but it’s clear that many people are fed up with Clarkson’s antics and would love to see him disappear from the public eye.
At the end of the day, the internet’s collective hopes were dashed. Jeremy Clarkson is still alive and kicking, and it looks like he’ll be around for a while longer.
