    Petition to reinstate Jeremy Clarkson to Top Gear

    Politically incorrect, brash, one of life's characters and the soul of Top Gear. He's a presenter not a role model.

    I'm not going to sign a petition saying "don't fire the guy who tried to punch a coworker," especially without knowing what really happened in the moment. They could replace him with some other TV presenter and they'd figure out a way to make the show just as good.
    Get that weak shit off my track

    I dunno. I'm kinda onboard with feeding the gremlins just to see what happens.

    The BBC's in a nasty spot with this one. Of course he's one of the things that's made Top Gear so incredibly popular, but if they keep him on it's essentially saying that he can do whatever he wants, including trying to punch people, and nothing will happen to him.

    Clarkson is my favorite of the 3. Without him, Top Gear would be boring...

    Why not just charge him with something and fine him. Suspending him's not going to do anyone any good.

    If whatever he did was in fact so horrible and blatantly disregard BBC's own company rules, then fire the guy. I see no point of a suspension.

    What is this? Some elementary school that you send bad kids to detention?

    Wish they'd reveal to the public exactly what happened.

    He punched someone because he wasn’t fed on time.

    Or, moreso:

    He wants out of the BBC, Sky have offered him £ to go to them, needs to get out of BBC contract. This is a quicker way.

    And who cares: better shows on youtube than TG.

    I agree with Billi (a very rare thing)...why not just give him a huge fine. By suspending him and not airing the show, they're putting fans of the show on his side and the network will suffer because of it.

    Fire the sensationalist, racist, mittelEnglander, bike-hating cunt.

    The fact that Z07 wants him back on TG is icing on the cake.

    Truth. Don't forget he talks ill of policemen and civil servants. He is a cancer and proud of it. Karma and reality need to pay him a visit.

    No hot catering food on location and he punched the assistant producer?

    This must be some sort of joke?

    Seems BBC doesn't like Clarkson and may simply use it to finally get rid of him.

    Whatever.

    Giant corporation and a multi-millionaire will be make a bit less money in the near future. OH well.

    It's not like I'm a faithful regular top gear fan anyways...

    Maybe Jay Leno can take over. They have similar looking chins and I'm sure Jay would be more politically correct!
