Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?Why do some people deserve a thump? You are quite correct this type of attitude is very offensive to me. It is certainly not basic interaction it is an illegal act.ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?Great idea, sack the alleged victim. I really don't understand this logic at all.ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?Whilst I do not wish to pre judge I would say in answer to the question of what the producer did or did not do, unless Mr. Clarkson was using reasonable and appropriate force to defend himself against a physical attack then he is guilty of assault. There is no excess for physical violence in any other circumstances, no matter who you are.ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?I quite like Top Gear but if the allegations of assault are true then he should be disciplined in exactly the same way as anyone else. I actually find him boorish and self opinionated. Also I think we are in danger of doing a huge disservice to Richard Hammond and James May who, in my opinion, are equally capable. To suggest that the show cannot go on without Mr. Clarkson is ridiculous. Has anyone given a thought to his alleged victim? How would you feel if this happened to you? I do not think that we should pre judge but if the allegations are substantiated then he should be dealt with accordingly. After all he has, I understand, received a final warning for previous behaviour. His fame should have no part to play in the matter. I would ask one final question. If you or I were to do what he is alleged to have done at work how would we expect to be treated?
