He says what he knows a certain audience enjoy hearing. That's why he's rich.

Like him or not, he is a British Legend. He is a superstar

You're damn right ...he is a British[& indeed Global] superstar because of his very nature patriotic,confrontational,rebel who doesn't suffer fools gladly & hates deceit & bullshit.He shoud be knighted ! I'm pretty sure as he owns a part of Top Gear he'll engineer a divorce & go to a higher bidder -just like the Malcolm Maclaren the manager of the Sex Pistols did to EMI Records back in late 60's.

look at the demographic of people who like the show. enough said.

i doubt, thankfully, he'll come through this one and, again thankfully, the show will end up on some obscure low rating channel probably sky. they are welcome to each other.

next.

You make him sound like Winston Churchill. He's just one of the Holy Trinity of British TV's overpaid, overbearing, talentless braying jackasses - the others being Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell.

This has got nothing to do with him being anti PC, if you lamp a fellow employee you'd expect to get the boot.

Lets see why the producer got punched.

He punched Piers Morgan before. Not many complaint then were there.

My thoughts, exactly:

We have this here camel, and we have this pile of straw. On today's show we will illustrate, one by one, exactly how many straws it takes to break this camel's back.

My producer suggested this one, said it was a metaphor, but he's bloody idiot.

The writing was in the wall for several years now..

I think it's over.

He was too un-PC for modern Blighty.

Perhaps it was a 'which four door saloon to use for vehicular jihad' feature which was the final straw. Sadly this news says more about the times we live in than it does about Jeremy Clarkson and what he may have said.

just like the Malcolm Maclaren the manager of the Sex Pistols did to EMI Records back in late 60's.

pedantic technical point I know, but the Sex Pistols didn't exist in the late 60's, punk didn't exist in the late 60's, unless you consider the kinks performing some numbers which could have been the catalyst for what became Punk, believe you mean the mid 70's

I can just imagine some perfumed, pink tie wearing, liberal fairy chastising Clarkson's language and then suddenly...thump!!

Great news. Another insufferable a hole bites the dust ...along with that insufferable Brit on CNN trying to take Larry King's place.

oh do be quiet, you insufferable little colonial person...go and marry a cousin or something ...

The problem with Clarkson's rather tongue in cheek humour is that a lot of people take it at face value, as this thread has shown.

I think Jeeza should give up TG completely and stand for political office....Jeeza for PM

he will sort out the jelly livered, bleeding heart PC liberals

Maybe he is from Iowa.

I have just checked with Jeremy Clarkson and the feelings mutual about Lee Stewart (who ever he is).

Actually I vaguely remember a TG segment on chickens in Iowa..?

According to the Kinsey Report, one in six men in Iowa had had sex with a chicken.

KFC could be charged with operating brothels in Iowa then ?

And North Dakota, which isn't too far away has the men with the biggest penises, but all of this is off-topic:

Your turn!

Correct.

Spouts inane garbage for chavs.

jeremy just likes to say it as it is, nawty boy

Looks like he gets to say it as it is somewhere else now. Not everyone thinks rudeness is adorable.

seems fracas = took a punch at a producer

The BBC did the right thing, you can not allow employees the hit another because his dinner was not ready on time...

Should have been suspended by his tie...

He's right to be happy. We didn't want the moron back.

To Moderator: Enoon replied/posted by mistake, please delete.

Clarkson goes out of his way to give the press what they want - he came out of a restaurant to launch a foul-mouthed tirade at the paps when they filmed him at a restaurant in Sydney a year or two back. No argument that many of those guys deserve a bollocking, but most of the so-called 'A-List' ignore them unless they get right in their faces or invade their homes. No question that he would be very hard to replace, but perhaps its time the BBC asked themselves if pandering to his ego is in their best longterm interests. Prima Donnas are funny until you hear some of their off-air rants played back and realise what a nightmare they would be to work with.

I think Pat Condell would be a good stand in for Jezza, after all he's frightfully good at upsetting those who deserve to be upset.

some good news from home for a change as he was on his last warning hopefully they will now sack his arrogant ass for good plenty other people to make up 3rd person on Top Gear are you free Tif

Thanks for the brainy quote link. Great stuff!

I really like the man. I think he comes from Doncaster and worked on the Rotherham Advertiser. What a pedigree!

I agree that the Beeb is run by tossers these days. Just look at BBC Entertainment. Must have the record for ancient repeats.

Anyway, Clarkson would make a great Prime Minister!
