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.
Sounds like the straw that broke the camels back came from the BBC not from Jeremy.
The BBC mistreated Jeremy, James and Richard for years, paying them millions less than they’re worth.
Jeremy will be much better off working for Netflix!
I agree. But when I was young, I said something that really pissed off an older co-worker and he got caught by the boss trying to beat me to a pulp. (I kept blocking and laughing) The boss said "What's going on?" I said "Nothing". He was happy to not have to get involved and it made my rep as a stand up guy.
The show is dead and just doesn't know it yet and I hope the producer dude did everything he could to prevent it. It's going to hurt more people than Clarkson.
