I know, right? Sure domestic abuse ain't no thang. Neither is falling over and hitting the back of your head off the ground after taking a punch. People who whinge about these things are a bunch of pussies.

Before you say this isn't what happened with Clarkson, you did specify that it was any punching incident by a non-boxer outside the ring.

Did Clarkson punch his partner?

You said for the "rest of us" outside of pro-boxers, a punch is no big thing. The rest of us, not just Clarkson. So my above examples fall under the example you gave. You. If you'd like to elaborate, fire away, but that is what you've put forward as of now.

He is yes...

And who will suffer most because of this suspension? It will hardly be Clarkson, he has made his money and has a huge following that he could make a similar show elsewhere.

The BBC will inevitably lose out.

I'll ask once more: Did Clarkson punch someone in a domestic (home) setting?

"We". "The rest of us". As in everyone. No setting specified, no scenario specified. So any punch can be considered to fall under what you have written. Unless of course you'd like to clarify.

If you're not following, then it's easy to understand why you might defend Clarkson so vehemently, his most devoted following does seem to tend towards meatheaded.

Forgive me. I was of the opinion you couldn't tell the difference betwee domestic abuse and a work related punch up, in which case I would have simply given up on you.

Then again, theres still a rather large difference between a civvy who has undertaken some fight training, or a six and a half foot monster who spends his day at the gym, and a binge drinking, chain smoking, middle aged pot bellied man who literally can't run. Again, let me know if the difference is stricking you as difficult to realise without detailed explanation.

A non-professional punch can be dangerous. It probably won't be, but can be, such as if it results in an awkward fall. This is why it is frowned upon, in any setting.

The mind boggles at people arguing that it's acceptable behaviour, especially in a workplace.

The revelation of Jeremy Clarkson's devoted following is almost as surprising as finding out how many Garth Brooks fans Ireland contains.

In which case it's manslaughter. Completely different. How many punches around the world result in that? Were i a gambling man, Id wager youd win the lotto first.

Except he didn't put him in A and E, did he? He walked in himself. Get hit hard enough in the head and try walking. Trust me, it ain't a... walk in the park...
Now, I'm open on that one all the same I wasn't aware of it. Ive tried finding images of the facial injuries sustained and haven't had luck.

I've seen stories of it happening in Irish newspapers more than once, and theres plenty of youtube videos of it happening in different places all around the world.
Theres usually just average Joe guys involved.

I'd imagine a punch from clarkson would'nt that much of a problem, even if he managed to get the weight of his paunch behind it.

Sure the guy could have elected to kick his head in, but probably figures taking legal action is a better option. If JC really did hit him, it's probably just the last straw.

It's an alleged punch. Sounds more like a scuffle and a bit of pushing and shoving.
Unless evidence of otherwise has been presented. Oh wait...it hasn't.
Now if it turns out Jezza grabbed him by the throat and punched his fcuking face in, fair enough, you can't be doing that, no matter who you are, but how so many people are getting throbbing hard-ons by the thought of him getting fired (including the girls), you'll still have to wait for the inquiry. Still not happy? Gotta wait. Want that cnut fired? Gotta wait.
Sadly there's this thing called "due process" which all the bleeding heart pinko lefties think is just for scumbags with 127 previous convictions, but it also applies to middle-aged, balding, fat men.

It appears to me that the ones who have the hard-ons are the dullards who have them for Diva Clarkson over him potentially being held to the same standards as everyone else. Don't like it? Tough shit lickspittle grovellers. Welcome to modernity where the laws, rules and regulations should apply to everyone equally.

This thread reminds me of a theory I came to a while ago whilst I watched a gaming youtube video. I viewed the comments/interaction part with the creator of the video. A woman came on and said her son liked the videos and demanded that the guy who makes the videos stopped using bad language so she could allow her son to continue his enjoyment. :pac:

Firstly if he stopped using bad language, maybe her son would stop enjoying the videos? Does this dawn on her? Nah.

It seems today people are too used to thinking they've an influence through pathetic mediums like Facebook etc.

They also seem to think, like this woman, that people who create their own brand of entertainment, Clarkson for example, should stop and conform to their idea of what that entertainment should be.

It's baffling and absurd that people have a mindset like that. Is it PC culture or is there some other cultural phenomenon at work.

Fail.

There is only one extreme side and the fact that you've appointed yourself as a referee only displays that Clarkson fanboys are the extreme ones. Your being 'thanked' by someone who believes that slapping someone for not having his hot dinner ready is only underscores the above.

Clarkson is going to join UKIP and try to become the Ronald Regan of the engerland empire
