Clarkson sacked by the BBC

[minestrone]

I don't think another channel will take them on to do a car show.

BBC will always put out a Top Gear and the show will have a far higher budget and better selling on potential. Any competing show would get trounced.

Sad but inevitable. Alas poor Top Gear is no more.

Nice tweets. You do realise that was a fake account which got shut down by Twitter?

Will all the thousands of cockwombles who signed the petition get their money back?

Isn't BBC notoriously bad when it comes to budget, compared with commercial channels? TG might be an exception.

In the UK, I think people won't like it without the 'real' presenters. Outside the UK, where they have a huge audience, probably it won't matter as much.

The Daily Mail and Rupert Murdoch have been saying so for years.

So, no; no, it isn't.

BBC Radios 1,2,3,4 and so on can be enjoyed for free. BBC TV costs you 40p / day.

There was no ban, there was no motion to ban, those were embellishments, I guess 'Student sends foolish tweet' isn't such a great headline ....

... Mind you, I see 'Racist Bully Loses Job' is doing well ...

Now Botney has said Clarkson may return to the beeb at some point

Looks like the Police may be getting involved as well now. Investigating an alleged Assault.

Quick off the mark, I wonder what tipped them off.
