I was waiting for that.
3 middle aged white guys on TV at the same time, oh the horror of it all.
I can understand him getting pissed off about cold dinner.
For all the hype and fame and money, I'll bet he works bloody hard for it,
and arranging something for dinner just isn't that difficult for the person responsible.
You don't treat your star player like a working class slob.
Unless you're the BBC, of course.
Sky News has been reporting with relish last night and this morning that Clarkson has hinted in his column for The Sun today that he may be quitting Top Gear. The journalist reporting it said something like "Clarkson compared himself to a dinosaur in his column, probably referring to the blokeish nature of the show."
And that's it in a nutshell. The British Left don't like Top Gear because it's "blokeish" - in fact it's one of the few shows on British TV nowadays which is aimed at men - and we can't be having manly, "blokeish" shows now, can we? Loose Women is okay, in which a bunch of harridans sit around a desk and slag off men all episode. But Top Gear? It's too "blokeish"!
If Clarkson goes to a rival channel - where he will continue to be sucecssful - Top Gear wouldn't last long without him and it'll not be long before it comes to an end, giving the BBC less viewers and less revenue. Talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face. And when Top Gear goes the BBC will then have the opportunity to replace with yet another show for the ladies: another cookery show; another show about sewing; or another show showing women giving birth.
Monday is when the BBC undertakes its "inquiry" into this incident, even though there's not much to look into. May has said the "fracas" was a minor incident and even Clarkson's victim, Oisin Tymon, is not making a big deal of it and doesn't want to take any furher action.
I suspected the ‘liberal’ fascists would eventually get Jeremy Clarkson

I read that Jeremy Clarkson had been suspended by the BBC for ‘a fracas’ with a producer. We don’t know what happened yet – but that hasn’t stopped my phone ringing with requests for interviews from Channel Four News (natch) and, yes, the BBC – the producers beside themselves with glee. And already one witless columnist – the staggeringly hopeless Deborah Orr in (where else?) the Guardian, who nobody has ever read voluntarily – demanding Clarkson resign (
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... and-resign). Before this imbecilic woman knows even the slightest about what has taken place. Strike one up for the usual ‘liberal’ fascism. What’s he done? Dunno – but sack the bastard anyway. Evil, stupid, people.
I don’t know Clarkson – I met him once, when I interviewed him. He was very likeable. I don’t often watch his show, because I don’t watch much TV. But this is incontestable – Top Gear is extraordinarily successful. Perhaps the most successful programme the BBC has produced in the last twenty years. A humungous, astonishing, success. And part of that is down to the fact that Clarkson is a very good presenter indeed; the best – alongside Attenborough and Humphrys – that the BBC has come up with in fifty years. And part of it is down to the fact that he doesn’t toe the usual PC line, demanded by shrill idiots like Orr – and indeed most of the rest of the BBC and Channel Four News. I don’t know what happened this time around. But I had the suspicion that they would get him, one of these days.
