Perhaps Clarkson might refer to the idiot left-wingers in charge of the BBC as a pack of ‘Retarded American Democrats.’ I’m sure it would get their goat, or whatever they are sleeping with at the moment... They sure seem to be hell-bent on killing their main [only?] golden goose just to get rid of Clarkson, only to probably have all 3 turn up on another channel!

The only silver lining in all this will be seeing the BBC lose money.

One can only hope that the ‘conservative’ PM privatizes the BBC. Unfortunately, the chance of that is about the same as our PM privatising the CBC! Neither will ever happen; too much of a hue and cry from the Left, especially those already ensconced in the BBC and CBC bureaucracies.

Now, now. I’m sure this can all be settled in a friendly way. Perhaps Clarkson could help direct a new BBC television show? You know, one the BBC would like.
It would have to be boring, low budget and insulting to conservatives. Let’s see. A homosexual vampire portrayed by one girl who changes the part in her hair to play six different characters who flies around in a red porta-potty saying “f**k” all the time while yelling at busboys.
That, or Clarkson could take over narrating the BBC documentaries.
“Now let’s see how fast this wildebeest can make it around our track.....while he’s being chased by a cheetah!”
“There’s Captain Slow frolicking with a killer whale. That’s the fastest he’s ever gone!”

Isn’t Clarkson Goering? There was an episode where Clarkson and Captain slow bought expensive cars and Clarkson bought a Mercedes Grosser and when he drove up, May said, here comes Reichsmarshall Goering.

Clarkson is a jerk, no doubt. But Top Gear is brilliant and it can’t be duplicated without him. BBC would be stupid to let him go.
To: Flying Circus; All
Look guys, keep a grip. Yes the majority of the BBC is leftist sympathetic (at minimum). Yes I think (as a Brit) that is scandalous. Yes Clarkson has fallen foul of the PC crowd on occasions too numerous and good for him too. (Special kudos for punching the odious Piers)
BUT..just remember. He is in the wrong on this occasion. He came back from shooting, discovered no food was on, threw a hissy fit and physically assaulted another BBC employee. That is not on. If anyone else was to do something like that in their place of work they would be suspended too. In fact, I think they'd stand a good chance of being fired. Its only Clarkson's fame that is protecting him.
You can all flame away if you like.

There are foreign language versions of the show made with other presenters, none of which are anything like as popular as the original show.
e.g. Top Gear USA

Unfortunately, this is true. If you or I swung at a work colleague, then it is going to be 1) written warning 2) fired Probably closer to 2, especially in a large PC organization. If he actually planted leather, and the punch landed, then it is going to be (2) + the cops - jail We are fortunate that Clarkson's actions are between (1) and (2) which means that the BBC have some slack to play with. They do not have to sack him. There is an image doing the rounds (I think on twitter) of 'the Joker' with the caption 'What, the BBC was infested with paedophiles and rapists for years and on one said anything. Jeremy Clarkson swings and someone and the whole world goes wild ?' but I cannot find it.

As I understand it there was no pictures, and Clarkson apparently turned himself in.
