Exactly! Business! But BBC are a government entity and are restricted by statutes, laws and regulations. They are not and never should be counted as a business. I had this same issue in a past job. A government entity wanting to compete with private companies.  They want all the perks of competeing as a private company but they are spending tax payer money, therefore are restricted. One tiny example is trying to pay an invoice for them would take 5 times longer and they would only be allowed to use certain contracted vendors. It doesn't work that way and as complicated as it might sound, it's reality. I can't believe they made such a success of the show to begin with with the parameters set. As I said, he needs to go to Netflix or something private.

 

So no, it's not that simple. And I don't dislike or like him because I don't know him. Heck, the whole racist part might just be a show. He is a performer afterall.

So you're telling me that because the BBC are a government entity they had no choice but to fire him over a punch and swollen lip? lol

The guy he punched wasn't exactly pressing charges. He wanted to work it out (apparently the only person there who didn't instantly lose his head). I get you gotta draw a line somewhere, and hell if you wanna make it racism or something of that nature, by all means do....but a little punch? You can toss that up to "boys being boys" ffs lol

Dude, never said this incident was racist. I said others were. anyway... I'm done trying to explain. You were complaining that BBC had made a business mistake. I am trying to explain why bbc aren't businessmen, and they have a lot of beuacracy to deal with. And why Clarkson is 100% better off working with a private entity. If you can't stop trying to argue with me and accept facts, then it is what it is.

 

And a little punch? This isn't the first instance. If you condone violent behaviour, that is childish and your choice, but even so, if Jeremy wants to do this kind of thing at work, he needs to get an employer who allows it (not the government). The day they start allowing government employees to beat eachother up in the UK, is the day the UK will collapse.
