Welcome to planet Earth, enjoy your stay.

Is planet earth some other planet, or have you ported here from another dimension? Because the earth I'm familiar with is in no sense equal.

That's been suggested for a while now and ..... Nothing. Frankly if he didn't hit the guy he should stay.

Edit: didn't read the A&E story. That's sackable beyond doubt of course if true. Words, not so much.

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.

Ah looks like I hit a nerve. It IS possible to think that both sides are being ridiculous and I guess you don't like your own hysterical over-reaction being pointed out.

And you must be really desperate to try the old "guilt by association" gambit, that's really quite pathetic.

You are entirely correct and that's precisely why we have rules and regulations that try to ameliorate inequality.

The same rules and regulations that prevent people like Clarkson from getting away with being held to the same standards as everyone else.

Too funny.

You pretended you believed both sides were ridiculous but now I'm 'hysterical' in my reaction? Well done kid. You've just sunk your own battleship. Never pretend to be a moral arbiter when your own bias is on display.

As I said, Fail.

I still don't see the big deal to be honest. I'm glad Clarkson is capable of seeing the funny side too. His private life is his private life. If he has a dispute with another private individual, that's a matter between them.

As far as I am concerned, he is a fantastic TV presenter and I really do not care much about his private life.

You really are a humdrum sort aren't you?

Perhaps the other side just aren't taking this as in as po-faced way as you are but I'd respond just the same if they were as ridiculous as you are being. Go back to reading your socialist workers party pamphlets and relax.

It's a sheltered life you've led if you haven't been shouted at by a boss, a manager, a teacher or a Christian brother. If he hit him yes fire him, if not --well if people essential to companies were fired for shouting at underlings Steve jobs would have died a pauper.

Maybe the world should, but it doesn't, quite work like that. In any case it's not the shouting but who he is that's aggravating people.

"Lazy and Irish"


Personally I used to like Clarkson but I find his little Englander persona having a go at anything not England and often being offensive to other cultures and countries very tiresome.

And the exact quote is "lazy, Irish c*nt"....part of the tirade of abuse at the producer.

Can you tell that to his fanboys who think he shouldn't be fired because he's of a higher class than them?

I'm not too bothered if he returns to Top Gear..I would prefer if Top Gear didn't leave BBC.

Pretty sure there was no assault. Sounds like there was some pretty intense and abusive shouting and swearing though.
Anyways, willing to be bet there was no punching.

Nah man, this is simple. If you, while performing duties at your place of employment, abuse, make derogatory comments about, assault or even grab another employee you would be immediately fired. It's gross misconduct and it's unprofessional. And if you wanted to compound that, you get langered in a bar first, keep everyone waiting, then act like a selfish arséhole, which to be fair to Clarkson isn't a great departure.

I'm beginning to come around to this point of view. Generally a I assumed the fracas was a verbal fight or some pushing. Actually landing a punch is something else.

Well if it needed stitches, which indicates a fairly large hit (or a ring cutting the lip) then it needed stiches. It might be that Oisin was taken to the hospital to push forward any claim that he was going to make -- but that doesn't make much sense if it was Clarkson who self reported not Oisin. Sometimes a cut anywhere needs to be bandaged or stiched so comparing it to a shaving nick makes no sense. As for A&E where else do you go at 10pm?
