Jeremy Clarkson

That's not all- hence my surprise and 'concern'.

What's 'not all'? Are you privy to information the rest of us are unaware of, granjura?

No Ana- and I am not going to get into an argument with you about it. I think some, maybe just a few, will understand what I am saying. maybe not- that's ok.

I don't think it's wrong to show programmes licence payers have already paid for. The Beeb isn't in the business of censorship. Shouldn't be anyhow. Whether one likes a particular presenter or not is beside the point.

I understand what you're saying, jura, and I disagree.

It's got nothing about 'liking' or not- it is about him having been sacked for very violent behaviour towards a colleague - and you know that. But you are free to disagree, of course.

If a man working in a factory punches a colleague he would probably be sacked but I doubt they'd remove the product he was making from the shelves.

as you said in OP. But there is a massive difference, nobody would know that the product would have been made by him- the factory man would be anonymous.

You do worry an awful lot granjura. (that's the coffe which I think you should wake up and smell)

Hammond, May, the Stig and various celebrity guests will all be in the shows to be broadcast, as well as Clarkson. Why should they all get the chop?

The programmes were made before the thumping incident. The BBC stopped making them with him in them as soon as the thumping incident happened. Ergo, they are not in the wrong.

'they' meaning the BBC.

I agree. No point the BBC cutting off its nose to spite its face.

Don't worry about me worrying ... I don't and I have a gsoh... oh and thanks for coffee, very much appreciated- I had some Lindt with a touch of salt balck choc with it- excellent.
