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.

Look guys, get a grip. I know the BBC doesnt have a very good rep on these columns, and I accept the majority of the corporation is leftist sympathetic (at minimum). I think (as a Brit) that its rampant bias is scandalous. I know 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. You cannot do things like that. If you or I were to do that we'd be suspended too, if not fired on the spot. Its only Clarkson's fame and celebrity status that has protected him this far.

Now tell me truthfully: is that a maxim you think is right? I mean that kind of thinking is what liberals do. "These are the rules, but they dont count for these people over here, because they're special" Is that what you want to support? You can all flame away if you like, but I think this decision by the BBC is a very courageous one, given the massive public support for Clarkson, and the huge amount of money Top Gear brings in, but as much as I love the show and Clarksons contribution to it, I think its the right decision.
