Clarkson Suspended

[Ithoriel]

750,000 signatures (and rising) in support of Clarkson. As has been pointed out elsewhere, that gives Clarkson more declared support than all of the UK political parties have members.

Presumably, whatever he may have done wrong he's doing something right

Latest reports are that he swore repeatedly at the producer and threatened to have him sacked, all in public. Also reported that he went to the Beeb himself about the incident - getting his excuses in early?

And all this because he was offered a plate of cold meats and not a steak?

Still, least it's driven all the media off from everything else that's important. Job done!

[getagrip]

This is the infuriating thing about situations like this. If true he should be done for assault and all TV companies should drop him like a hot potato and leave him to fester in his own stupidity. The same should have been done with Saurez after his third vampire attack. Unfortunately, the great god Money rears its ugly head and everybody cow-tows in obeisance. If it was anybody else they would have straight up in front of m'lud but because he is such a high profile, self-centred bigot he will probably get away with it.

Agree entirely!

[Subedai]

Cow-tow - is that the Hindu version?

Okay, so I got my 'curly 'c'' and my 'kicking 'k'' mixed up. Seeing as the word is originally from Cantonese and my knowledge of that language is as good as my Patagonian, I throw myself at the mercy of the Semantics Police.

That concludes the argument for the defence yer 'onner.

Get rid of him and have Jodie Kidd instead. She's a big petrol head.

[getagrip]

Yeah, that'd work

Guy Martin..
Just saying it would definitely keep t'Mrs happy!

Clarkson's gone, I didn't think the BBC had the bottle!

Not before time in my opinion, leaving his recent antics aside, Top Gear was definately in a rut, it used to be a bit of fun and entertainment on a Sunday evening, a nice way to round off the weekend but it's been stuck in a rut for a couple of years.

Time to change the formula as well as the pressenters?

It could be done as a Dr Who type transformation mbut who would be the next 'Petrol Lord', master of the V8 vortex?

[getagrip]

Agree entirely Dan.

It used to be fun and light hearted; recently cynical and offensive (dressed up as humour).

Good riddance.

I also heard the police are going to investigate; we are talking ABH after all.

A regeneration scene on Top Gear.....Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Would be the perfect message to send to an overpaid bully!

Sigh. Another day of work and nobody's brought me a hot meal. 

[Ithoriel]

Are you contractually entitled to a hot meal?

Punch someone. quick!

I thought that was a wife's job....

Oh yes, she left him months ago, it's the cars I feel sorry for.

Whatever menu he was entitled to, one thing's for sure, he's now getting hot tongue and cold shoulder ... and serves him right, too!
