    I'm afraid this is an orchestrated campaign of lies and distortions by an industry which has abused its power with impunity.

    Perhaps we should have a Leveson 3 to discuss all the lies celebrities have told the media over the years? Just to balance things out...

    Leveson 2 will not stop freedom of the press, investigative journalism or freedom of speech. It might decrease their lies and wrongdoing.

    Yes, he's a great writer and a prat. But this piece (in the Sun) is yet another example of propaganda nonsense by a self-serving press.

    Jeremy Clarkson may be a pratt and unwatchable on his car programmes but he is a good writer and right about this
