May has already stated they are a package deal, if they truly want them back maybe they give into public pressure and offer Clarkson back his job.

I hope they don't - he assaulted a member of staff.

So what? We're you the member of staff assaulted?

No? Nor was I, therefore I don't care. I like watching top gear with him in it.

Staff issues aren't my concern. If the BBC want me, and I assume millions others, to continue watching it then have him in it. How they reconcile their employment issues is up to them.

But I don't think they will, so I won't be watching it in the future.

You can't get away with assaulting members of staff just because you're popular on the TV.

The fact 'you like him' is no defence at all.

Its the second assault hes been involved in. The first was when he broke Piers Morgans nose at an award ceremony when Morgan was editor of the mirror and kept sending reporters after Clarkson stating hes having an affair.

Why not?

Plus, I'm not suggesting he " get away with it". But not getting away with it, doesn't necessarily mean dismissal.

Not just me though is it?

How does that, in any way, go against him?

Same for me.

I will not be watching it.

I am hoping May and Hamster have not agreed a deal.

If Morgan kept sending reporters after Clarkson for any reason, that could be considered harassment and could be a valid defence against any assault charge.

As i have said before i would punch Morgan in the face if i got the chance, Morgans a tit.

And reading the diaries of Morgan, he happily admits in print he goaded Jeremy. So that would also negate an assault charge possibly, as he was provoked into hitting Piers. I'd also love the chance to knock that smug look off his face.

Although Chris Evans is a good presenter, i dont think Top Gear is for him.

It would be interesting to see someone like Stephen Fry host.
