If you're attacking Mr. Tymon or blaming him in some way for the BBC's firing of Clarkson, you are an idiot.

He didn't report the fracas, Clarkson did. Like an evolved homo sapien, he didn't fight a coworker over food. He never asked the BBC to do anything about the incident.

As he has been prone to do in the past, Jeremy Clarkson shot his own dick off and brought about the end of Top Gear. It is no one's fault but his, and I would bet he will say so when he gets a chance to speak publicly about it. I'm a huge TG fan and very disappointed by all of this, but let's not make a martyr out of him. He has not been wronged. If your boss punches you, he should be fired.

There is a word for the people who are mad at Mr. Tymon. They are called trolls.

Well said. Everyone gets pissed at a co-worker here and there.

You don't punch them and expect to keep your job.

I'm pretty sure it's just FP'ers who are rallying the fire and pitch forks. Normal humans are saddened by this but know why it happened.

A. Holy shit, BRT is real!

B. Well said. The BBC did what was fair. They didn't brush it off because he's a cash cow, they proved that you can't be too big to fail.

This time over 9000. I love Clarkson, I'm sad to see TG as we know it go, but Oisin Tymon was nothing more than a victim in this and is probably wishing that it never happened.

Not saying it's right, just that I understand where the thought comes from, it's projection. People get mad at a deer that jumps in front of their car and wrecks it. It's not the deer's fault, it just got in the way in the wrong place at the wrong time. Same situation here.

Is it really a hot take if you are speaking common sense?

Sadly, it might actually be.

The person I feel worst for in this whole situation is mr. Tymon. He's going to have blame heaped on him regardless of not having made a fuss about anything. Some moron has already lobbed a death threat at him and I'm sure there will be more. [iDontWantToLiveOnThisPlanetAnymore.png]

Quite frankly though, with the BBC's intention to continue Top Gear with new hosts and the three stooges more than likely ending up elsewhere to more or less continue as they were, we're only gaining more automotive programming out of this whole mess. As a fan, that's not something I'm going to complain about.

I agree with you.

Top Gear was good and funny. So was How I Met Your Mother. Both are now over, and the way both ended mildly sucked.

Tomorrow is Thursday, which is !PANCAKE NIGHT! in the Hat household.

Dude was probably terrified thinking he lost his job because he got punched by the biggest cash cow at the BBC.

A real Sargent is either a painting, a door lock, or a motorcycle seat.

You *do* want to know if 'Sarge is the big cheese sergeant though...

That's the truth. It's a shame and a pity that such an entertaining show simply goes away because of Mr. Clarksons' actions, but it was going to go away sometime. I actually thought one of them would wind up killing themselves in a hilariously awful way, leading the two left to go "Anyway, here's what the rest of the drive was like". No matter what happens now, Top Gear as I knew it is gone and is not coming back. I find James's other shows (Man Lab and his travels with Oz Clark) funny and entertaining as well. Richard Hammond will likely move to California to "Start his Career in America" again. He's had a couple of tries that were very forgettable but he seems like a nice enough bland man.
