Given this pic surely this "Fracas" is a case of mistaken identity .....Free the Clarkson one!!!!!

 

[Tuscan1969]

I'm going to start numerous petitions to get rid of shitty costume dramas, the embarrassing dross that is Doctor Who, and of course Twat Gear.

Must protest!!!! Dr Who is Fab

I find it interesting that many of the same people who are clamoring for the reinstatement of Clarkson were condemning Bernie for buying his way out of legal trouble.

How do you spell hypocricy?

 

[Incubus]

I know what you're saying but it didn't quite come out right.

 

[Hamberg]

How do you spell hypocricy?

Hypocrisy

 

[cider_and_toast]

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here. Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

 

[Brogan]

It's not a court of law.

Besides, I hereby find him guilty of being a massive twat.

 

[Hamberg]

 

[siffert_fan]

Hypocrisy

Actually, I think it is spelled with the name of anyone that falls into that camp.

 

[Hamberg]

Not sure how they are linked but anyway

 

[Incubus]

You beat me to it Brogan but I was going to opt for "tosspot".

He's a talentless professional tosspot who picked up ages ago that all he has to do is to utter the occasional UN-PC ready-made pub-talk babble and it immediately ends up in the papers and his profile's increased and they all fall for it every time.

persoally I wouldn't mind a proper tosspot-free car show that's actually about the cars,

 

[cider_and_toast]

Well I've heard he speaks highly of you all.

 

[Brogan]

Well said Incubus.

I too would like a motoring program which requires a modicum of intelligence to watch.

I grew out of that crap a long time ago, probably around the time I realised FHM was shit, which would be always.

 

[siffert_fan]

Well I've heard he speaks highly of you all.

At least, all of you that have signed the petition.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Not me. On the whole most people don't give the furry crack of a rats ass about petitions.

 

[Hamberg]

I've signed a couple that have reaped results including putting pressure on US coastguard to resume the search for the Cheeky Rafiki. If it's a govt directed petition they are obliged to debate it in Parliament which has also happened.

https://www.change.org/p/keep-up-search-for-the-missing-cheekirafiki-crew-dontstopsearching

These are a great way to have a voice. And the good news is a lot of people who may not be aware of change.org will now see petitions that can alter a persons life or human security.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Just saying that over half a million people are petitioning the BBC to reinstate someone without actually knowing what he's done (in full, press speculation doesn't count) while another large group of people are condemning the same individual also without fully knowing what he's done.

Think of him as a hero or twat as you like that's fine.

It's somewhat ironic that I've actually spent today observing employment tribunals at work. (seriously fascinating by the way) dealing with unfair dismissal claims. Nothing is as cut and dry as you would think.

The main reason that cases end up in tribunal is because the company didn't follow the correct procedures. The BBC will have to show gross misconduct after an investigation in order to fire Clarkson. So while it's not a court of law. It is employment law.

 

[Hamberg]

Apparently he wasn't given food. A hungry man is the closest thing I've seen to a premenstrual woman.

I think there are sufficient mitigating circumstances.

 

[Brogan]

Yes, because not eating is grounds for physically assaulting someone.

 

[cider_and_toast]

It's a well known fact that man has two needs "food" and "sex"

As I say to my wife "if you see me without an erection make me a sandwich"
