Jeremy Clarkson

Hi,

"Jeremy Clarkson apologises for punching Top Gear producer and calling him a 'lazy Irish ****' as presenter and the BBC pay out £100,000 in compensation."

So why he is not charged by the police since he's admitted it?

XeNoN89 · 24 Feb 2016 at 13:43

Because the bloke he punched didn't press charges

Nodiggidy123 · 24 Feb 2016 at 13:44

personally id like to know exactly what circumstances meant a 100k payout.

perhaps i should get someone at work to punch me in the face.

gord · 24 Feb 2016 at 13:44

Because the guy didn't press charges?

And JC and the BBC shared the payout.

Either way, when I went on Top Gear JC literally said to me in front of everyone that my face wasn't suitable for international audiences, cue laughter from audience. Where's my compo..?!

He can punch me in the face for £100,000

I'd take a punch for that too.. even if it was Floyd Mayweather.

(Sorry to any Irish here

Can you claim compo for someone saying something that is factually correct?

Especially if it was Floyd Mayweather. Letting him run round the ring for 12 rounds and have his standard tap for points count, right?

Agree, Mayweather is a pony puncher tbh. When has he ever sparked someone?

For £100k, it's got to be a dig off the likes of David Haye or Deontay Wilder surely?

How about a kick in the nuts for a tenner?

dowie · 24 Feb 2016 at 14:18

given the millions he's made from amazon as a result I think he'll quite happily pay out that megre 100k

Or a knee to the temple and a dagger up the clitoris?

There doesn't have to in order for there to be an investigation and prosecution.

I'm not surprised since he's made a lot of money out of it.

Yas786 · 24 Feb 2016 at 14:29

If someone gave me 100k I'd gladly punch JC in the face too.

Odious idiot that he is.

CircleFaust · 24 Feb 2016 at 14:34

i wish they would stop showing ads for his 'new' show coming from amazon
they've been pedalling it since this happened and its not out until autumn this year i believe?

Heyyyy! Maybe I didn't delete all those soundboard files after all..

He stood right in-front of me for the international adverts, I was completely eclipsed. But I am immortalised in the intro to the Africa special where I feature heavily in my blue jacket on the right of the map..
