I'm not one who believes celebrities have to be standard carriers for society. This should blow over and the BBC should arrange for a sensible transition for the show that pleases its fans.

Thanks for the compliment.I take your general point,though the example to millions bit had nothing whatsoever to do with petitions etc.Fact is in our culture today a C list sleb like Clarkson is looked at as a role model by many,however naff that is,including lots of kids.He craved the media spotlight so he (and his admirers) can't complain at the downside. If that happened where I work (or within the media companies that I've worked with),I suspect whomever did it would be out,particularly if they were already on a "final warning" and it would definitely be a big deal within the workplace with those in charge feeling they had to act.Don't see any reason for it to be different cause its a popular sleb who has a "blokey" image. If no one you know thinks punching someone in the face at work for no good reason is a big deal,so be it.Just glad I don't work with you or them Edited by legaleagle (16 Mar 2015 12.16am)

The whole thing is silly. It's like the outrage over the Russell Brand incident. It is almost as though the people of Britain (same in the US too), have become a 21st century version of Mary Whitehouse. So many people seem to want desperately to be offended by something, anything. Then they form an online vigilante mob and administer "justice". There's my tuppenceworth. If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
