Clarkson has developed himself into what he sees as a " wild child"
Two fingers up at anyone he considers a target based on non PC criteria.
A few points.....
If he has commited an act of gross misconduct then I assume there are conditions in his contract besides " nornal" employment requirements and these SHOULD be applied due to his history.
The BBC gets substantial income from Top Gear....will they use this as an excuse for leniency?
Is this a publicity " stunt"?
Will there be a change in the format for TG?
In some ways his attitude to anti- PC is needed as there is a trend to fear of speaking one's mind growing. Some of his comments are on/ over the edge.
Re the use of the "n word" in a non transmitted session....who made that public and why? Another publicity stunt or malice against him?
As for TG itself, I record it and skip the bits I don't want....currently 50% at least.
I have tead some of his books too, articles from his Sunday Times column. Most are not contentious but do include pokes at what are described as pet hates.
So.......like him or loathe him, what will the BBC do?
The BBC is itself of dubious character being supposedly very PC and facing accusations of bias.
Could be a case of pot and kettle?
As for the petition....fools have signed whilst in ignorance of the facts.
How would they feel if the incident involves him in something disgraceful?
They have jumped on board too soon.
