Oisin Tymon not pressing charges. Is this of concern?

[Piemaster]

I posted this on the Clarkson suspended thread yesterday. So, I appear to have answered your own question before you asked it. No, 745 I think.

I suspect that, for professional reasons, the victim will not wish to press charges. We know what happens to whistleblowers, testifying against a well-known TV presenter would raise the stakes considerably. So, nobberesse oblige, right gives way to shite. Clarkson walks away.

And I hope I'm wrong.​

Clarkson reported it himself - blew the whistle. Would Oisin Tymon have done it? Dunno - it would only be worthless speculation to do so.

Who cares?

I might mow our lawn as well. I'm also looking forward to Patrick coming back from holiday. I'm missing his culinary posts.

It's getting to that sort of weather isn't it?

I've got a few odds and sods to sort out in the shed.

The mouse that died in their in January, for example.

One of the contestants on Masterchef just called her pudding a tosser. Is this of concern?

That makes you the grasser and not Clarkson.

My wife cut the grass this afternoon.

If every case involving no more than a split lip went to court the justice system would be overwhelmed. I can't help feeling all the mock outrage over what in the real world is no more than a trivial incident is more to do with anti Clarksonism than anything else.

I watch Top Gear but, after his super-injunction and his attempt to close public rights of way on his land, his approach to his rights versus other people's rights is clearly purely self-serving. Because of this, I particularly don't want him to be able to ride roughshod over employees rights in the workplace. Also, he's out of control and probably knows it but someone needs to take control. All that's happened is that he's been held to the laws of the land. As we all should be.

My wife tried on a new dress this evening.

She liked it.

I don't know, I wasn't there.

Clarkson wasn't all there at the time.

The cynic in me wonders about the timing that a fracas occurs with two people who have had previous issues, weeks after one person sells his share of the business to the firm which has him on final warning.

You'd think the conspirators would have set up something a bit more convincing than a strop over not getting Clarkson's din-din in that case though.

I was wondering the same if he was felt pressured not to pursue.

I expect he is just wishing for the whole thing to blow over and for people to stop banging on about it.
