Clarkson suspended by the BBC

[Guest sibon]

Maybe Clarkson will sue the BBC for loss of earnings.

 

I guess that will depend upon what he's done, or hasn't done..

 

If he's in breach of contract, I'd say he's looking at a big bill.

Maybe, but on what grounds?

I guess (sic) you hit the nail on the head with that word.

I'm going to have to leave this debate. The quality of argument is terrifying.

I doubt there will be a breach of contract if an ongoing investigation is in process, suspension is a natural process when something like alleged assault is involved. As for loss of earnings I'm not sure his income has been effected while on suspension.

The cancellation of the 4 Top Gear road shows in Norway alone has resulted in the refund of £15 million of pre booked tickets.

 

You'll have to redo your sums - they haven't cancelled the shows.

How about introducing a bit of logic - and probability based upon the known facts - into the debate?

 

What do we know for sure?

 

1, Clarkson is a major asset for the BBC and brings millions into the corporation.

 

2, Clarkson has been suspended.

 

3, The producer, who is not such an asset and is easily replaced has not been suspended.

 

4, The only witnesses to the 'fraca' that we know of are May and Hamilton.

 

5, May and Hamilton are Jezzas bezzy mates.

 

6, Despite which, Clarkson is suspended by the BBC.

 

7, May is on record as describing Clarkson as 'a knob' when asked about the incident.

 

8, Clarkson has form when it comes to being a bit handy at throwing punches at non threatening opponents.

 

9, Clarkson is not shy about resorting to litigation when it suits him.

 

10, Despite which news sources have been prepared to print reports such as this.

Should it turn out that Clarkson is found innocent of all allegations, this would have to go down as the most inept, ridiculously over hyped and completely mishandled incident in the history of the BBC.

 

Now, whilst that is not an impossible scenario, on the balance of probability, if you had to place serious money on it which way would you bet, guilty or not guilty?

I prefer the guessing game!

So, what's your guess?

[Red Hood 10]

If the BBC backtrack then are we due a refund?

You'll have to redo your sums - they haven't cancelled the shows.

 

Why?

Due to the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear have lost the race for world domination.

They were going to extort the world for a million pounds!!!!!!
