Well it seems that the police investigation into the affair has found insufficient evidence to support further action. That to me supports my deep mistrust of the motivation of the BBC in their handling of the situation, but I have had some very negative dealings with similar large socialist organisations and am somewhat bias against them and their like. The response of not renewing the contract now seems overly heavy handed in light of the events not being worthy of criminal repercussions. The BBC would have been better served by awaiting the results of the police investigation and acting in a commensurate way with those findings rather than the rush to judgment which has left them looking out of touch with reality.

Where do you get "insufficient evidence" from?
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/jerem...ar-AAax9Lq A spokesman for North Yorkshire police said: “North Yorkshire police has now completed its routine enquiries following the incident at Hawes involving Mr Jeremy Clarkson, and we will not be pursuing this matter any further. “North Yorkshire police takes a thorough and victim-led approach to all investigations. “Last week, the person at the centre of the incident, Mr Tymon, said that he did not wish the police to take action on his behalf. However, at that point we still needed to speak to some members of the public who were present at the time of the incident, who had been affected by the event, and whose views also needed to be considered. “Now that all the interviews are complete, we have properly established that there is no need for further police action.” |

It came from a report on the radio last night. Semantics aside the police are not taking this further which speaks to the lack of severity of the incident which in turn supports the view that the BBC over reacted. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

You are entitled to your opinion but it only seems to make sense if you totally ignore the actual facts!
It's not semantics to point out the difference between "insufficient evidence" and "no need for further police action". The guy punched did not want the matter to go any further. That's understandable. |

If it were as the pro bbc, anti Clarkson lobby want us to believe, the crime of the year then the police would have acted regardless of the victim not wishing to press charges but they are not because they have investigated and however you want to put it they the police are not taking any further action because they evidently see the event as not serious enough. The BBC could have waited for the police to have investigated and reported before they passed sentence and that would have been seen to be Fair not a witch hunt.

What a prat that producer is...
So let's see if ive got this straight. He drives himself to A&E with nothing more wrong with him than a cut lip. No broken nose. No missing teeth. No stitches needed. Nothing. Incidents like this don't do A&E waiting times any good at all... But I digress.. So he doesn't want to press criminal charges. This begs the question why he went to hospital like a little girl in the 1st place. One can only assume it was with the sole intention of getting Clarkson fired. He knew that if he went to hospital and they asked him what caused the cut lip it would then become official and not be able to be kept "internal". |

I do not get it!
A BBC spokesperson said: "Jeremy's contract has not been renewed on Top Gear, but he isn't banned from appearing on the BBC. So Jeremy will be hosting ‘Have I got News for You’ on April 24th Are these double standards, is it a mockery, or is it that the BBC only believes it’s wrong to verbally and physically abuse someone only while working on Top Gear. Jimmy Mulville the executive producer of ‘Have I got News for you is quoted as saying 'Maybe we will get the producer on the programme so he can hit Jeremy Clarkson live on television'. Bad choice of words or what or is everyone associated with the BBC now treating the whole Clarkson incident as a huge joke.

Standing back a bit...
Top Gear's wildly profitable for the BBC, Clarkson & the UK. It made £15m profit last year. The franchise is sold to other countries including USA, China etc. The Top Gear magazine is sold in 31 countries. A British success, good for GB.COM. Considering this, Clarkson's salary is a fraction of Jonathan Ross's. Personally I turn off the telly when Ross comes on since his "Sachsgate" screw-up with that other prat Russell Brand. Ross's £6m per annum is a disgrace. Ross should have been sacked - no question, and Brand removed from license-payers funding. Whilst I also don't condone violence, it does look like Clarkson has gained some footballer-esque diva tendencies, which is a shame, at least he didn't stoop to the depths of Ross/Brand IMHO Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

warning Rant about to start. 
Jonathan Ross is an overpaid, egotistical, smarmy, smug, arrogant git, why he is paid so much money when he is such a talentless speech impedimented moron who has never conducted an even remotely interesting interview is beyond me, but like a lot of media ‘jolly fellows’ he is loved by the producers. In my opinion Jonathan Ross is a big-nosed, egotistical, Andrew Sachs hating right wing loving cretin, also his fat, red dyed hair blinkered multi-millionaire ‘I write firm scripts’ wife is no better either. And as for Russell Brand he is a talentless scrawny, lank haired, ex-junkie  , who thinks the entire planet should listen to his ridiculous rants, because he’s, like, so profound. Apparently, being ‘funny’ in his drug-addled mind entails being rude, patronising, arrogant, ignorant, insolent and downright obnoxious. He needs a quick rub-down with a house brick.

While we are on Wossy, I complained to the BBC that when he stood in for Wrighty on BBC2 recently. How can you have someone with a speech impediment on the radio? Also I remember when he said to Gwyneth Paltrow " I could f*ck you now" live on the TV. The BBC replied that he had apologised, so that's all right then.
On a funny note, he said to one of the Williams sisters "you would look good in a raa raa skirt", she said "what is a waa waa skirt?" Even she couldn't understand him! Merlin |

There is a difference between insufficient evidence and no further police action.
We have the producer who sustains a cut lip............. used to be section 47 assault but declines to make a statement of complaint. Police term C.D.P. Complainant declines prosecution. From what was said by witnesses to the incident there was a lot of swearing etc. ................. Breach of the peace, if found committing a person can be arrested/sect 5 Public order Act but Police need a statement of complaint, if no statement again C.D.P. The evidence is there but if the Investigating Officer can not get a statement of complaint no further police action can be taken. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

ARC99 sums up part of what I was going to say. I will add this. Most of you, no matter what you say, if you turned up to work, got screamed and sworn and then punched would want the person sacked. Some of you maybe would stand up and punch back and then, when you have also been suspended argue it was self defence, and be surprised when you have also been fired.
