To the best of my knowledge, I've never heard of him busting anyone's lip before -- he's not exactly presenting a constant danger to either the staff or the image of the BBC.

I don't really see how the BBC have to kill the show to prove a point. They have laws in the UK; unless one of them demands a presenter be canned for this behavior, while I see their point, its kind of a huge over-reaction...

I'd hate to say it but I agree and disagree with you. Yes, I guess technically they could go through civil lawsuits etc, and have him remain in place. However, he did punch a guy in the face at work! Lol. You can't go around slugging people while you're at work. If my CFO at work did that he'd be canned too. So I don't think firing him was the wrong decision. I just wish the Bloody Pill DIDNT hit him!! Lol

Agreed.

Actually, it may very well be in everyone's contract at the BBC that physically assaulting/extensively verbally abusing any member of the staff, especially subordinates, = sacked, which is not an unreasonable policy.

James May did say "their hands are tied" about the BBC, so it may very well be that this isn't really an over-reaction, while NOT firing him would be a major disregard of standard policy and procedure.

Geezuz, it was a small fight. Absolutely no place for it in civilized society, but cops? Seems a bit much.

Read that Clarkson is in talks with Channel 4 in the UK for a show called Full Throttle. Time will tell.

Jordo, Clarkson punched out Piers Morgan about 10 yrs ago during an interview.

I think awards ceremony, but whatever...

This has details on the feud, and the BBC's directors words on not renewing Jeremy's contact. Fúck this is a sad day...

Jeremy Clarkson, your big mistake was not hitting me again says Piers Morgan | Daily Mail Online

Sounds like Piers would like to bury the knife in Clarkson back again.
