Well said, I applaud the BBC for making the tough but correct decision.

You don't become a "bad guy" for making a small mistake, even more so when said mistake (a meal) isn't critical to running the operation. He could have went with any other acceptable food and still carried on with the production.

yeah, great chap trying to cover his ass after realizing he might have finally done it, that his Bosses would not let him get away with it AGAIN

they have find him and suspended him in the past and he still effed up, blame Clarkson for being an idiot rather than "outrage" culture. The outrage are the idiots coming out of the woods trying to come up with excuses for punching a co-worker

This isn't a product of 'outrage culture'. It's a product of him punching a coworker, which is likely to get you sacked no matter who you are or what you bring to the organization. Nobody wants to work for/with a person who thinks violence is an acceptable option for conflict resolution.

Outrage culture? Stop being a fucking dumbass. When you get into a brawl with a co-worker, send that person to the hospital, then get your ass fired, it's not because of "outrage culture"

Sometimes you just gotta do the right thing, and not just the convenient thing. Clarkson has been warned and warned and warned and warned again. Eventually you just got to cut your losses, man up, and deal with the consequences.

A member of staff – who is a completely innocent party – took himself to Accident and Emergency after a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature

The graveyards are full of indispensable men.

I'd actually prefer Allen over Leno, now that you mention it.

Netflix threw 100 million at House of Cards and that wasn't a known quantity.

Don't forget the best thing currently on BBCA - Broadchurch!

He should've just molested children for decades. Then they would've protected him as much as possible.

well, rumor wise, He punch a producer due to a closed restaurant refuse to service a hungry-clarkson after a photo-shoot? Some accommodation problem?

It's about not holding their employees to a double standard. Just because Clarkson is so famous doesn't mean he can assault the crew of the show. That would be terrible.

Not really. BBCA has plenty of cash cows. Dr. Who remains their top ratings grabber annually, and Top Gear UKs ratings had been falling off ever so slightly for the past few seasons due mainly to the over-the-top staged automotive equivalents of prat falls. Add in the fact that they now run Sherlock and are getting…

On the chance of being promptly apprehended by my fellow jalops, dunked in water repeatedly, read a summary of my crimes against Hoonmanity, and then fastened to the stake and burned as a Witch... should we really be that upset?

Come to America Jeremy, we love sharp-tongued Brits here. Start a show with Seinfeld and Leno.

I'm sad about this, but if we're all being honest, he has crossed the line numerous times...more than probably anyone else would have been allowed. The show will live on. Frankly, Richard Hammond is a better presenter than Jeremy, in my opinion. They need to hire Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz, let Hammond be the…

And on that bombshell, it's time for Top Gear to end.
