If Jezza is removed from my TV this coming Sunday, believe you me, the Queen will hear about this. It's just not British and I won't stand for it.

That's the spirit!

Can you post a link so I can threaten them too with abusive language and the removal of funding ? I'm serious, I'm not happy about this.

Thanks.

I quite like Top Gear but won't support a principle that just because I like a product, its staff can get away with workplace violence.

If any one of us threw a punch at a colleague at work we'd be out the door the same day. No suspensions or investigations, so why should Clarkson be allowed to commit common assault and just carry on as normal?

Because he wears jeans and a jacket. Basics m8, basics.

and it is where he should say. He is possibly the worst excuse for a TV presenter ever.

In fact he is almost an enigma. A man with no wit, charisma, intelligence, or looks somehow managed to become a prime time TV "personality".

I feel you are neglecting the fact he has pierced nipples, an important string to his prime-time tv bow.

If the punch did hit this producer then I would find it hard to defend Jezza. But its about context hell for all we know the producer might have called his wife a whore....

russell664 · 10 Mar 2015 at 23:26

That's the problem, we don't know exactly what went on. Only that he punched the producer, there are two sides to everything.

Violence doesn't solve problems. Only speed and many horse powers can do that.

Complain to the BBC Trust if you are going to complain.

Yeah we don't know why he gave him a wack - could have been more than justifed - the BBC programming society however won't say why, has even attempted to say why, or has even painted a picture that it may have been justified - media for you - playing their own game, creating their own rules and only telling their own story.

I'm fully expecting a response from the two above posters that violence is never justified in any situation........ :rolleyes:

Yes I am all for furthering human development, but as it is humans are the most violent horrific animals ever to have lived, in the UK we get by relatively amazingly well with little violence compared to most of humanity and all of humanity that has ever existed in the history of all time - he wacked a guy, the guy is no doubt just fine now, yeah its not ideal, granted I give you that (assuming he hit him for NO reason), but we all need to stop being so darn judgmental and crack on with life, life is to short, everyone is being nanny stated into submission.

I like how him, May and Hammond are already taking the **** about it on twitter

In any situation where there is a breach of discipline it has to be investigated first before a decision is made. It's a tough one for the Beeb, they will lose either way.

**** you Sliver

I hate agreeing with you

But you are quite it does not, If I was put in a position like that maybe I would punch the person too.

If it was completely unprovoked then his position is pretty indefensible.
If in the other hand it was mutual which its not looking that way he might have a chance...

I am not saying violence is right.

All I wanted was a link not a rant. :confused:
