Quillan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 [quote user="Théière"]I don't recall that other petrol head , two jags Prescott being done by the police for assault or losing his job![/quote]But he is a politician, different rules apply. Just like Smith you have to wait till he is dead then look surprised.Actually Prescot was on the (betting odds) list but not anymore. Chris Evens is now in first place knocking Jodie Kidd down to second. My favourite (as in who I would like to see do it), Eddie Jordan, is number nine.

Hoddy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just for the sake of accuracy we should remember that Prescott was retaliating to an assault.He is a real rough diamond unlike the posh pretend one that is Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Moi, [:D]hots for JC, not at all. Not my sort of bloke.At the moment I doubt much of what I read or is reported. And as I have said, I have mixed with 'stars', not as famous as JC, but never the less ,when they act all 'diva' what is that? One could call it bullying or blackmail, but I don't, even though their caprices are incredible......... and yet it isn't me who goes on to perform. And the NY police, well that is for North Yorkshire, not helas New York, well, I won't hold my breath. I was wondering last night, if the police can read or even watch tv or listen to radio. From the beginning an assault was mentioned, so why did they not get involved. This would be a police matter and actually nothing to do with what the BBC did, at all. I shall keep an eye on this.And now I am bored with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprogster Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My wild guess is that the producer involved will be reluctant to press charges, as from what I have read he is keen to put this matter behind him, come out of hiding and get back to work, which would be difficult to do if criminal charges against Clarkson keeps this in the headlines for months, fuelling further undeserved hatred of the producer by the lunatic fringe of Top Gear supporters.Also the producer would risk creating the perception he was twisting the knife as Clarkson has suffered enough and is not a well man.

Hoddy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I didn't suggest for a moment that it was all right. I do think that being assaulted first makes it a bit more understandable. It certainly would be the case for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Overall I suspect that the protagonists are giving the whole episode far less time and thought than anyone on this thread is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfblind Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Conspiracy theory #1All a cunning plot by Clarkson and his merry sidekicks to get out of their contracts with maximum exposure before accepting a lucrative offer from Sky channel.If the "Top Gear" name and logo are owned by the BBC then what title the new adventures ?Answers on a postcard to win your £5 (joke)[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 One notes James May is considering quitting TV and becoming a teacher.........Presumably, a Primary School teacher, showing young minds how to build giant Leggo things, and vast Scalextric tracks.....About his level of intellect.See Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 He would make an inspiring teacher and should be applauded for wanting to do something so selfless and turning his back on chasing the millions.Why would you want to criticise him, let alone for that?Your link goes to a posting of another forum user.
