Problem is its one of the few "male" TV shows left in the UK. It's a precious rare commodity now. thays one of the reasons so many are getting worked up.

It's one of the few shows not written for Guardian readers by Guardian readers.

The problem is the BBC do have a set of guidelines to work to - they're damned if they do they're damned if they don't.
If the fire him, he'll go elsewhere and take a lot of viewers with him and the BBC may well lose a lot of income.
If they keep him, it will just show that they don't take things seriously.

So if your boss punched you in the face you'd be ok with that?

The Guardian generally hates Clarkson, it is true.
Personally, though, I am both a Guardian reader and a muesli-eating, sandal-wearing liberal. And TG is the only thing on TV I watch (sport aside).
And, contrary to your view, I see very little non-factual content on TV that appeals to my lefty liberal stance, and actually believe that Clarkson is extremely misunderstood by those on the left - he's playing the buffoon, a caricature of the idiot bigot: we're laughing at his act, not with his gags.
If it was clarkson, I would be telling my mates, not running to mummy
And how do you know he punched someone in the face? and that it was even that hard
Could this actually just be completely blown out of proportion, given that people know he is on his last warning.

"Look he boke my nose, such a hero, want a selfie..."

I would want the bruises to stay, just for some cool points down the pub
"See that bruise, yep, mr clarkson"
Pub people: You got punched by Jeremy clarkson? you so cool, here let me buy you a drink

Couple of things.
We don't know it was the face.
Depending on my relationship with boss, I'd either punch him back or get him fired or leave the job.
I'm sure most of us have had a fight as some point in our lives, generally it blows over afterwards and you just pull your socks up and get on with your life.

I did chuckle at the image they used of him. Looking slightly beweildered, red eyed and an angry red background lol. Love those devilish visual cues.
Clarkson is an arse. He treats everyone around him like total crap and threatens people when he doesn't get his own way. He also screwed over pretty much everyone involved in the 'new' Top Gear to ensure they didn't see any of the profits that they probably should have been entitled to.
He's generally a nasty piece of work, in my humble opinion.

Wait when he used the term 'slope' on TV was OK?!

Truth coming out now...
With the way these sorts of things are blown out of all proportion, Unless I see pictures proving the contrary, I am going to assume that the "Punch" was nothing more than some form of physical contact with a force of little more than a butterfly settling on a cheek!
(I also sense some sort of deeper conflict. Did the BBC deliberately set Clarkson up with a producer they knew he would fall out with perhaps??)

He's not in the motor racing industry, he's in the entertainment industry.
I like your tinfoil hat, did you make it yourself?
