    I have no objection to sacking clarkson if HR think his action is sufficiently bad.

    That said, the death of top gear (I don't believe the beeb for a second when they say the rude and irreverent style will continue), is a tragedy.

    For two reasons:

    Generally - The clarkson obnoxiousness is a necessary antidote to the prissy hypersensitivity that infects society. Poisonous bilge encouraged by stupid incitement to 'x' hatred laws.

    Personally - I love the fact that beeb staff, as the priesthood of prissy hypersensitivity, feel physically ill every time they pass clarkson in the corridor. Tolerating clarkson is good for their souls.

    I hope May and Hammond jump ship, join Netflix with clarkson for a new show called Bottom Crank, and bury the now emasculated Top Gear in the ratings.

    Again personally; I want beeb staff to feel the pain of knowing their world view does not exist without challenge.

    Used to be one of my favourite shows when I had a tv. Shame.

    Don't know that there is much else to do when you hit a producer so no problem with the punishment.

    For some people, Jeremy Clarkson is what they want society to be more like. Personally, I prefer David Attenborough. Zero obnoxiousness, maximum education.

    The guy who thinks that there's too many people on the planet and we should get rid of them. Not him obviously. That guy?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Exactly the guy. And typical of you to resort to the HIGNFY-style "not blablabla...somevieworother...blablabla" in lieu of wit or thought.

    I'm personally more in favor of David Icke.

    Why are you lot making such a big deal out of it? I mean who the freak cares if we watch Top Gear on BBC or Top Gear Twin on some other tv station?
