Morris Minor Owners Club

what do people think of clarkson being suspended

Great

Innocent people are dying around the world due to stupid ideological conflicts and this is headline news....

Does Clarkson drive a Morris?

Nope. In fact, he's not a fan, having criticised such guests as Seasick Steve and Chris Evans for owning them.

Well, he is a gob on a stick but a pretty good journalist when you look behind the headlines. I like the fact that he's 'politically incorrect' . I think we need more people like him....love or hate them,they aren't bland. I like folk like him ,Dennis Skinner, Boris Johnson etc. As classic car drivers we are probably mostly a bit rebellious so I say keep the likes of them going. Oh,and if he did punch a BBC producer perhaps they deserved it....I could often happily smack some of the BBC people. Interesting the number of people joining the 'keep Carkson' petition....

Do I support him? Don't I support him? Two choices. eeny meany miny mo...

Very good!

Churchill did FAR worse and managed to get away with it smelling of roses.

Adults reading "Harry Potter" books? No hope.

I think Clarkson is a great motoring journalist and has done a lot to encourage motoring and he has my vote

One up for the Jeremy Clarkson School of Political Correctness

For Gods sake bring him back, I've just seen an article on someone's vision of an eco-feminists Top Gear - sounds amazing Nothing against feminists by the way

Bernie Fineman!

Top Gear is the ONLY programme I actually make a point of watching ... He MAKES the programme - the other two are just the supporting act... Mr Tymon looks like he could do with a good smacking...... I'm surprised Clarkson held back for so long... And it turns out all this was last week - it now seems Clarkson reported the fracas, probably trying to preempt an official complaint... And surely - when there is an incident/fracas between two employees - BOTH are suspended until there is an investigation.... To only suspend ONE of them pre-judges the guilt... The BBC just find him too irreverent for their liking, and have been looking for an excuse... Clarkson is a knob - and that's the way we like him, that's the way we like him!
But don't worry - ITV and Sky are slavering in the wings with offers - all 3 presenters' contracts with the BBC run out at the end of April.....
Edited in light of new facts...

I wonder if a certain tabloid has had any influence on the charges being made? 'My Clarkson Hell' front page coming to a rag near you.

Unusual for such a headline feature not to be on U Tube
