Top Gear

Sky news just shown the man he is alledged to have punched christ looks more than capable of handling himself against a doddering middle aged man like clarkson

I love how people are jumping up and down in protest before the facts are fully known...reports in the daily rags sadly cannot count as factual. Ah for the days when people were innocent until proven guilty. Nothing like trial by tv where everyone is an armchair judge, jury and executioner. Meanwhile in other news planes are crashing, children are starving and thousands are dying at the hands of extremist nut jobs.

FFS apparently Ant and Dec are bookies favourites to replace Clarkson. WTF that would be suicide. The media in this country feeds the nation a diet of hysteria over the slightest issue.

Really? I heard that Chris Evans was the bookies favourite.

Things is, there's 2 answers:
a) media witch-hunt
b) no smoke without fire

There wouldn't be complaints about racism, however delayed, if they didn't do things like the Mexico furore and the India debacle.

It amazes me that racism is always the stick to beat them with, when there's probably more homophobia, more often

A great example of the bullshitting manipulative tossers in the media today. Clarkson returning from a meeting in the early hours. He was stopped outside his house by an ITV reporter. Clarkson clearly bemused as to all the fuss at that time of day simply smiled and said 'Go home and get some sleep'. Puts all this fuss over nothing into perspective.
The ITV reporter? Oh he reported that a clearly upset Clarkson was too upset at the prospect of losing his job to talk
When it comes to the British press there are lies and then damn lies.

tv channel dave had me laughing just now when during a showing of top gear this morning they did an ad that said "due to a fracas we are the only place you can see top gear on sundays at 8pm"

If JC is hinting (& carries out) an exit from Top Gear I can't see how Top Gear will ever be the same...the BBC will not find him easy to replace. The only way the show would survive would be on Sky or they go independent and make the show for web stream only, that way they retain a fair sized portion of their terrestrial audience.

yeah saw that yesterday

I think Johhny vaughun would be a great replacement for clarkson very funny and knows his cars

still think clarkson planned this to get out of his contract early not sure if the others have the same contract if so would be easy for them to move elsewhere
