Fair play to them.

Richard Hammond has taken a lot of criticism this week following the emergence of a bizarre quote about gay people and ice cream.
On Hammond’s new show The Grand Tour, the former Top Gear host heavily implied that ice cream was a gay person’s food, and that he doesn’t eat it because he is a straight man. Makes sense to you? Us neither.
Richard Hammond gags while explaining ‘men who eat ice-cream are gay’ on The Grand Tour, ep 6.
Are men that watch this show bigoted weasels? pic.twitter.com/G4W9ziqLch— Hayden Scott-Baron ✨ (@docky) December 26, 2016
Wall’s ice cream, which is sold as HB/Wall’s in Northern Ireland in partnership with Ireland’s Hazelbrook farm, has had their say on the subject, and it’s spot on.
Hey @RichardHammond, it doesn't matter what flavour you prefer, ice cream is for everyone!

Something that, in 2016, we really shouldn’t need to be reminded of.
