[QUOTE 3589795, member: 9609"]I wonder if something profound could happen tomorrow evening as the best part of 5 million sit down for their weekly fix of JC and learn what has happened. lol[/QUOTE]
6 Million per episode this month.

Which makes me wonder why less than 1 in 6 have signed the petition.

Maybe they like TG whilst not Clarkson.

 

[Turbo Rider]

Maybe they like Clarkson but think he's a twat for punching people anyway

 

[hopless500]

Maybe they like Clarkson, like Top Gear, but are awaiting the outcome of the tribunal, and to find out whether he actually did hit someone as alleged or not.

Have a beer. It will feel much better then

Judging by past experience it's more likely we'd sink a pint or five (plus a couple more on the train home) and agree to disagree.

And hopefully one of you will be good enough to buy me a train ticket while I'm still comatose ...,

Grand advice! For what it's worth, my personal feeling is that, much like the difficulty I had separating Coogan from his personas (personae?), I now have even more difficulty separating JC just having a laugh and JC being an obnoxious, nobbereresque greed bully.

Love the way the Lib Dems have by far the highest proportion of don't knows!

Perhaps they weren't Don't Knows but a group who thought sacking was insufficient penalty???

Exactly...dragging him through a rose bush just wasn't an option...

Petulant, diva-ish and violent behaviour by JC, but honestly, for a BBC executive to liken him to Jimmy Saville.

[Yellow Fang]

In what way do you disagree?

It's not a comparison that should be made. Would you rather someone punch you in the face, or sexually abuse all your children/grandchildren?

You reallly haven't read the article that you posted or you would be realise that this was not the case


The question raised by the article is whether the protection by powerful people both inside and outside the BBC is aceptable

Saville was protected and so is Clarkson

If that protection allows inapproprate behaviour to continue then the lessons learnt about allowing "Talent" to excuse behaviour, then the lessons from Saville era has not been learnt

Te question should have been:

It's a comparison that should be made. Would you rather that someone who punched you in the face, or sexually abused all your children/grandchildren was protected because they are famous or punished and censured on the same level as anyone else?

This has to be a laugh. A bloke representing a Muslim organisation in Question Time is backing JC and thinks that he is been targeted as he is a male.
