    What a wonderful weasel word 'handbags' is. It admits that violence has taken place, but diminishes its severity to next to nothing and implies that no one in particular is at fault. The reality seems to be quite far off of that though. One-sided violence coupled with a sustained verbal attack and unreasonable threats to sack a subordinate. These are the unacceptable actions of a workplace bully. You can call this 'handbags' if you like. But this behaviour is not acceptable in any modern workplace.

    Surely without Top Gear on you'll be out of a job?

    Yeah, but I won't have to wear a helmet all the time in case he lumps me one.

    Why couldn't the BBC let him get away with it? For say 30 or 40 years...

    Get ready to get offended on someone else's behalf.

    He's been given a Riga ie not sacked but his contracts not being renewed

    Then why can't the BBC show the remaining shows from this series?

    Can't have double standards for a sackable just because it's jeremy clarkson.

    Had to go.

    In the meantime...paddy power

    JC second story on BBC News tonight (after a terrible plane crash in which three Brits confirmed dead).

    Back to JC. Says the Old Bill want to get involved even though the alleged victim apparently said he was not filing a complaint. Glad they haven't got any paedophiles to be investigating in their part of the world.

    Can't stand Clarkson, but now I find out that he once punched Piers Morgan my mind basically can't cope with the confusion.

    That's absolutely disgusting.

    Zane Magic leaving No Directions should have been the top story.

    Juat sorry he'll get a job with some other station so we wont have seen the back of the violent racist. Just glad the Beeb finaly had the balls to ditch the narcissistic windbag. Now if they can stop the disproportionate amount of coverage they give to the other rightwing attention seeking embarrasment Farage just because they feel they have to kowtow to the blustering subnazi aspect of the national psyche I'll be proud of our national broadcaster.

    Yeah! What a hero, subjecting a blameless junior colleague to a prolonged, foul mouthed, abusive rant in public before splitting his lip eh? How the effing hell in all this has the victim of a clear case of workplace bullying ended up being the villain of the piece?

    I suspect that Nigel Farage has modelled himself on fag smoking, booze guzzling, loud mouthed Jeremy ((:>)

    I'm glad the pillock has gone but sadly he will pop up somewhere else who will take advantage of his archaic views.

    As a car enthusiast, he is good, informative, entertaining.

    As a person he's mostly just an absolute wanker.

    On the subject of him and Piers Morgan....I'd still rather have a beer with clarkson, he wins every time.

    Having a beer with Morgan or Clarkson? .

    That's like saying would you rather die by having your cock cut off or by having a red hot poker shoved up your arse?

    I spilt my beer down him once.
    It was free though, so that's OK, plus he had just had a dig at motorcyclists.
