oh...lets compare the two shall we:
John Prescott a prominent politician is walking through a crowd, when a man rushed forward, breaks the police cordon and throws an object at him. He has no idea if its an egg or a brick, or a knife even !! He instinctively reacted with a punch, that landed at chest height. Some might say, an understandable self defence reaction. However he still received a warning by police for his actions !!
Or do we prefer
A highly paid, spoilt brat, that couldn't get the food he wanted, so he throws a tantrum and thumps his co-worker, because he said he should of booked it properly !!
Oh yes....that's real comparison that is !!!!
Fact is Jeremy Clarkson will get probably get his job back as money talks. The sales of Top Gear abroad makes the BBC good money, and in their current financial state they need it.
I don't usually get involved in these types of discussion anymore as I have got in trouble in the past, but my thoughts are :-
Clarkson is a self opiniated arse, no one can argue differently?
I like him and May almost as much as I like the Hamster.
Top Gear is the biggest profit maker for BBC Worldwide?
If he punched a producer/colleague he should be sacked according to pretty much any employment contract.
How many high profile people have got away with similar confrontations in the past, rightly or wrongly?
Should the BBC sack him? In my opinion no, he brings in too much money and lots of viewers for them.
If he goes, or if it was planned/taken advantage of by him then good on him, he's looking out for his own interests.
Is it right? When has anything been fair or right?
We can all bitch and moan and are all entitled to have our own opinions, it's a bit sad that this out of all news stories has caused so much debate, but that's life.

The dinosaur is dead; long live the dinosaur!!
Why am I the only person in the western world that thinks this is the biggest none story since "Phew, what a scorcher! "
It's Dave I feel sorry for, the current shows will only be repeatable for the next 20 years, what are they going to show then?
morgan is being lined up to replace clarkson i heard.
