Clarkson Suspended from BBC and no top gear this week!!

If a blow actually landed then he should of been gone already... If it was just a matter of 'handbags at dawn' then you have to look at the conduct of both parties involved... We all think we know Clarksons past employment record but how many know the other fella's?
 
Absolutely agree that if there was any kind of physical assault then he has to be sacked.

just to caveat that, even verbal abuse and bullying should be punished severely. I have seen abhorrent verbal and environment bullying which in some cases can be worse.
 
Surely the "right thing to do" is for them to look at the evidence and then make a decision. From the beginning the story has been changing. First it was reported that he'd punched the guy, then that he'd swung a punch but missed and then that he'd just shouted and sworn at him. Depending on which, if any, of those are true would affect if Clarkson gets sacked.

If either of the first two are true then he has to be sacked. The third option wouldn't necessarily get him sacked. Or it might have been none of the above.

According to the producer the three presenters and himself were the only ones present when the blow was struck/missed
He alledgedly had a trip to A&E though

Do you have the link to the article from where you get that info ?

Wasn't there an article that said a family was present that saw the incident in the restaurant
 
It's over, he's out. The right and only decision they could make.

Good decision! Don't know how it was ever in doubt? The guys a bully and you can't go round assaulting innocent people.

Sad thing is this won't be the last we see of him.
 
Interesting that he has not been sacked, his contract will not be renewed. Quite different. I presume it must have been so close to renewal that it was not worth going through the legal process of cancellation.
 
It makes too much money for the BBC for them to bin it. It will re emerge with new presenters.

It makes money mainly down to the presenters themselves making the programme into the success it is. Anything else now will be a poor substitute.
