He's not actually been sacked...the Beeb are just not going to renew his contract (fortuitously it was up for renewal next month, providing them with a good way out).

It will be interesting to see how they handled this.
Probably dump the exec and get a new contract with Clarkson.
Clarkson, May, and Hammond have all been laughing it off even this morning.

So, are the other two still talking “No Clarkson, no us.”? I find the UK version more entertaining than the US version.

Top Gear wore out its welcome with me after one season. Nice to see some cool cars, but the hosts are irritating especially Clarkson.

What the other two said was that they wouldn’t finish this season while he was suspended. The general concensus is that Top Gear will continue with or without Clarkson. Whether the other two will want to be involved in such a creation is another matter. It will be very hard, if not impossible for it to retain its current popularity without any or all of the three.

I dont know. Very properly he has refused all contact with the media and has made no personal statement.

I dont think that will happen. Its rather more likely the three will take the concept to another station.

The queers running BBC, and UK media libs ABSOLUTELY HATE CLARKSON.
He is unapologeticly un-PC, on both the show, and in his editorial columns, and they can’t stand him for it.
The BBC head’s $400,000 tax-payer-paid salary is in no danger at all from firing Clarkson, so he could care less.
Just up the sheeple’s TV License Fee/Tax to make up for the lost revenue, so that BBC Execs can continue to enjoy the existence they have become accustomed to.

Of course they did. Make em shake hands and go back to work like men. Doesn’t anyone remember schoolyard fights and getting along after?
The chickification of society is the only reason he must be fired.

Amazing the crap moslems can get away with over there. But let two guys get rough for 30 seconds and watch the powers that be do something about THAT!
Its a joke.

Some were speculating that ‘Stig’ on the tank was Clarkson.
