There has been an uproar due to Jeremy Clarkson being shown the door by the BBC. And what for? For punching his producer on set of Top Gear over catering arrangements. Give the poor man a break.
Jeremy Clarkson has an avid fan following who cannot associate the show without him. There have been many demands by angry fans who will not take no for an answer and demand for Top Gear to resume with Clarkson.
Tony Hall, the BBC's Director- General has been receiving death threats from many Top Gear and Clarkson fans, so much so that he had to seek protection from bodyguards and alerted the police.
Agreed that Jeremy Clarkson has been entertaining us all for many years and Top Gear cannot be thought about without the thought of Clarkson springing to mind; but do you think it would be right for him to be taken back onboard? Jeremy Clarkson physically abused a colleague; do you feel he should be forgiven?
There will be several people who will still side with Clarkson's behaviour (reasons which may be beyond us). However, to think of it in hindsight- had this happened at your workplace, would the employee who physically abused another colleague in full sense be reemployed by the company? There is no question about provocation here.
Is it fair for Jeremy Clarkson to be getting so much adulation from the public even though he used violence? Why has he been portrayed as a hero of some sort or the victim in the whole fiasco? Does the general public really believe that he was not at fault? Or is it merely the blinded fans who advocate in his defence? Let us know what you think? Would you have tolerated violence at your place of work?
