    Top Gear's Clarkson suspended by BBC

    I think in the vast majority of cases punching someone would result in the sack. There would have to be extreme mitigating circumstances for it not to do so.

    He is/was at the end of his contract anyway, I believe, so it is as good as sacking him.

    I'd be quite happy to see piers Morgan deck Clarkson, and I can't stand Piers Morgan.

    Personally I think Top Gear would survive and could actually be better without him.
