Clarkson Suspended

[Ithoriel]

Whatever menu he was entitled to, one thing's for sure, he's now getting hot tongue and cold shoulder ... and serves him right, too! 

I'd guess he's getting offers from every other TV network out there tbh.

Probably right but I hope the police prosecute and that might alter things

Depends on the CPS, I would think, which in turn will depend on the evidence available.

I REALLY hope they prosecute; just to set an example.

A shiny 'sixpence' says he'll get a slap on the wrist, at worst.

I know you're right but still...

I know I am going to end up being berated and considered a brainless fool after this but....

I really like Clarkson and Top Gear and I am gutted!

Now I understand how all the girls at school felt when Take That split up the first time!

Let the stoning commence...

Nah, opinion is opinion

BUT YOU ARE WRONG!

  Only kidding; I think many people share your point of view but, for me, you just can't go round hitting people.

The character of Clarkson, the total knob, is often/sometimes amusing

Unfortunately it appears he wasn't playing the character...

Yeah, I fell for that at first; thought he was "in role" but no, he really is like that!

Yeah hitting a colleague is totally unacceptable.

But I will miss the straight talking Yorkshire man. I'm only 32 bug there is something refreshing about someone who is fun because they say the first thing that comes into their heads.

Obviously, though, I am not condoning his racism which is also totally unacceptable. He was lucky not  to get sacked for that.

It's a shame he got worse and couldn't make a few simple evolutionary steps.

Well said that man

Eventually everything changes.  I really  enjoyed Top Gear, and it's blokish, politically incorrect, tongue in cheek,approach. Sadly, as series followed series it has become a poor caricature of itself, and perhaps the time has come for a new format and a new team. In a way, I am glad the rest of the team has said they'll resign at the same time. A clean sheet for someone!

Well, in a few weeks I think both Prince Harry and David Cameron and/or Ed Milliband will be looking for a job.

... and I'll stick with Jodie Kidd to lead.

[getagrip]

Works for me
