[Kizzy]

Tbf to Clarkson, he was the one who reported the incident and he asked people to leave the producer involved alone, he can't be held responsible for moron fans

if that is true, then good on him.

but in all honesty clarkson is an awful man and for hitting someone, regardless of your job, you should be fired. the bbc chief should not have to fear for his life over something like this, i feel so sorry for him

[Mystic Mock]

Clearly some sad bastards out there.

[Amy Jade]

This is horrible and although I don't blame Clarkson for it I do think the situation is quite shocking. Jeremy Clarkson hit somebody so hard they had to be taken to A&E and it was over food.

If this had been an ordinary person nobody would defend their sacking. He deserved his punishment and people need to get real, had the person being punched been your loved one would it be ok? I doubt it. Now people are treatening to murder his employer who had every reason to fire his arse...disgusting.

[Mystic Mock]

Amy Jade you're speaking about the people like they're sane.

I agree with your sentiment though.

death threat?

some twat has said something

[kirklancaster]

This should not surprise anyone, and certainly should not enrage some, because it is just another facet of the crackpot lawlessness which saw Nigel Farage and his innocent family accosted by thugs.

If - as some on here have stated - it is all right for one crowd of cretins to unlawfully threaten Farage because in their warped perception he 'deserves it', then how is it shocking when another set of cretins unlawfully threaten Clarkson's ex-employer because in their warped perception he too 'deserves it'?

Before anyone slates me by pointing out that a 'Death threat' is far worse than any mob 'harassment', I will say that the threat to Clarkson's ex-employer is just that; 'a threat', whilst the attack upon Farage and his family was an actual executed crime, but in any event the 'gravity' of the offence is technically irrelevant, as both are examples of people taking the law into their own hands because they feel justified by being aggrieved by the intended 'victims'.

Attacks and harassment of politicians out for a quiet meal with their families, death threats to employers who have acted correctly in dismissing an employee who has been guilty of gross misconduct, innocent Jews and Muslims being accosted in the street for no other reason than their ethnicity or religious persuasion, celebrities being slandered, libelled and viciously condemned when they have neither been charged nor tried or convicted; all are very disturbing manifestations of an increasing social trend towards 'vigilantism' - or 'taking the law into our own hands' - and 'The Law' should come down hard and fast upon anyone who breaks it because they think they 'know better'.

there is not much lower then me trying to express some views in what i call poetry but the ones - one - who does this email - really has stooped to a new low.

shame on you.

Oh yeah, I agree with that also

[DemolitionRed]

They should be interviewing 'The Stig'.

[Kizzy]

It's a chain of events triggered directly from Clarksons drunken outburst... He has to accept some responsibility.
His actions have had a shocking impact on so many people and now their families too, I hope the bombastic egotist learns some lessons from this.

[arista]

Looks like a Outside of UK Hitman
is on his way.

ITV1HD News just confirmed the email
was from outside the UK

its costing a great deal
to have armed guards protecting the BBC Chief

Also if Clarkson had controlled his temper, not acted like a thug and not been so ready to cause controversy many times in the past,then no one would have had to be in this situation at all.

It doesn't surprise me that he has some thugs for followers when you consider the example he has set over the years.

Absolutely shocking this is,just because he got sacked.

true. Clarkson confessed to shouting at the producer and apologised. I still don't know exactly what he did though, did he definitely punch him? what injuries did he sustain? as for bullying theres a million and one worse forms of bullying than this, corruption lies waste deceit etc etc do infinitely more damage and go on a daily in every organization, especially the bbc

He called the producer a lazy Irish c **t, told him he was going to get him sacked and punched him in the face because he was told the chef had finished for the day and he couldn't have steak. The producer went to A & E with a split lip

[Crimson Dynamo]

If I'd known he had

A split lip

Well

......

Well what? He asked the question and I answered. He didn't even report the incident Jeremy did because he only had a split lip it's no big deal that his co worker punched him? What point are you trying to make?

Clarkson is entirely to blame and completely in the wrong. This is a prime example of why we should not allow such people to continue being a public role model and never face any kind of reprimanding.

As far as I am aware, it has been confirmed that he did punch the guy. Also when it comes to your point on "there's a million and one worse forms of bullying" - It is not acceptable. We should never excuse something just because there are worse examples of the same crime. All kinds of bullying are not okay and we shouldn't tolerate them.
