Should Jeremy Clarkson be allowed to assault people?

[MasterA]

seems to be a split in popular opinion.

[RKM]

nah bun im

[Phigure]

good riddance, this was funny though

[soronery]

if he was fucking kids, the bbc would've been all for protecting him

Load of bollocks imo, what a stupid business decision by the BBC.

I don't get why the butthurt folk don't just not watch top gear if it annoys them so much instead of trying to ruin everyone else's fun.

I'd be surprised if they didn't know this already but its hard to justify, from a moral standpoint, not sacking someone whos punched another person at work. It is against the law after all lol. I'm sure they spent a hugeeeee amount of time trying to find ways of not sacking him.

It is surprising they did sack him though. On a list of unethical things the BBC have done.. protecting Jeremy Clarkson cause he punched a producer wouldn't be very high on that list.

Suarez bit someone at work and didn't get sacked

[Phigure]

honestly if you dont have a cool enough head in your 50s to refrain from punching your boss / colleague then lol

[CreamLord]

Might start biting people

[mason666]

[CreamLord]

Sick

He probably should have been. That ones easier to justify, considering hes worth £75m in transfer fees alone.

[mason666]

yh i spose

if anything the bbc have done him a favour, he will start his own show and make much more than he did off top gear imo

[mason666]

lol looks like he could do with a slap

[hubb]

I think the mexican bit was crazy over the line.

Punching is pretty common and it's probably not the whole story.
But he is not probably being sacked on this alone either and I dont think the bbc could do any different really could they?

[Muncey]

BBC will no doubt lose quite a bit from losing the show.. its just harder to say "yeah hes allowed to punch his coworkers cause he earns more than the average person and hes on TV" about Clarkson than it is with footballers ect.

If there wasn't such a big fuss in the media he'd still be in a job. Suppose his past antics and general attitude didn't help things.

[sixs]

geezer

[ezza]

i dont even like him that much i just love the fact he pisses of the sort of people that i hate

just dont watch the fucking show you utter utter utter pussies

people get punched on the regz. its a fucking PUNCH. ive been punched like 5 times already this year alone

ffs. i genuinely hate this new breed of fucking melts


also, i bet magma is up in arms about this

can u come back for just a few posts on the subject pleeeeaaaase

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

nah bum im

[Molzie]

while we're on the topic, how shit is the american version of top gear. If they got new hosts that's what the UK show will end up like.
