Clarkson Suspended by BBC

[Ancient Citizen]

Author of the Clarkson petition is such a believer in free speech he once proposed a secret deal with the BNP

I've read this 5 times and still don't know what it means or what it is trying to say. I feel like this is a paragraph of information and I'm missing the rest of it.

You are without doubt my most sensible lefty.
If only others of that ilk were as informed and erudite ;)

What will the BBC have to stop doing if it can't profit from selling Top Gear to the world's middle-aged, pipe and slipper, office drone, lumbering family car driving boy racers?

If it has to scrap Gardening World and Come Dancing it'll be a triple whammy for these dullards.

750,000+ now...

Let's get it to a million and cause an avalanche of scorn and ridicule from Murder She Wrote fans ;-)

Now now, plenty of people, as judged by worldwide trends love Top Gear. I fear you are viewing the programme with an elitist mindset, Clarkson is one politically incorrect mother fucker, and loved by millions because of that.

You can only aspire to the cars driven on the show.

We get it.

I stopped watching Top Gear years ago because of some of the shite they was showing on it and in Clarkson, May and Hammond they've got three of the most detestable unfunny wankers on TV and that's saying something.

I can't believe there's such a furore in the media about it and to the sycophants who've signed that petition, they must be on top gear themselves to believe that such a fucking pointless exercise might persuade the BBC to save their arrogant and narcissistic Tory bullyboy bigot.

I agree. No need for the petition.

The viewing figures and sales world wide speak volumes enough.

God bless Jezza.

Has jeremy been charged by the dibble yet?

What have his viewing figures and sales world wide got to do with whether he should be sacked or not for allegedly punching a BBC employee while at work?

I can't see a disciplinary hearing taking these factors into account, and if it did it'd be absurd.

I expect high standards of behaviour from those who work for our public services and I don't want violent oafs employed with public money.

 

[malg]

OK. The producer put on a cold buffet, on a cold day in the North. He deserves a fucking dig.

I don't give a fuck what you expect or want and neither does anyone else to be fair. You may be labouring under the misapprehension that you matter to anyone making the decision.

As with everything else in life, it comes down to money.

Also, violence well placed is a handy thing to have in one locker. He chinned Piers Morgan once also so fair fucks to him.

Can someone post 'Major Misunderstanding' from Viz?
I'm shit with computers.

You can see he isn't in the slightest bit worried about this at all. This isn't some factory worker with a mortgage to pay he's a millionaire who has such a following that he could tell the BBC to shove it and within 5 minutes would have his phone explode from producers offering him a car show on their channel. Holds all the cards.

Save for the fact that he doesn't want to leave the BBC.

He could have gone elsewhere many times over the previous years but he enjoys the autonomy and status that the BBC offers.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

He's engineered his exit from the BBC

You don't call someone a "lazy fucking Irish ****" because there was no restaurant available when you get to the hotel and keep your job.

Guess again.

He has a £14m pair of golden handcuffs as of last year.

Unless he gets sacked of course.

Piers Morgan? Mmmmmm........where's that petition again?

Netflix has a $5bn budget, spent $90m on Marco Polo plus another $60m per season of House of Cards and suggest Top Gear is one of their most popular programmes (and of course the most watched program in the world currently).

They also spent around $50m per season on Hemlock Grove and Orange Is The New Black.

Top Gear's budget is around £7m a year. They would presumably go mad for it if it were on the market.

That's peanuts to him.

He enjoys and benefits from the world wide BBC brand.

if he was let go, I can see the other 2 with their notice on their bosses desk pretty soon after, would be even more costly to the BBC then.
