Sounds like Clarkson was waling on thin ice for years.
I'm sure BBC realize what a loss it is for them, but they had to draw the line somewhere.

I hear his co-hosts said they'll leave too if he goes, and if that happens I'm sure the three of them will have no problem finding a new lucrative job.
So I don't think Clarkson is too upset about this. He's probably drowining in offers.

Agree, BBC was d0m3d from the start, as it has a reputation to defend, it's not by chance that it's the most renowned state TV in the world and one of the best also ranking both public and private networks. Italian state TV OTOH, once started going down a slippery slope just for easy audience (and political games and share-out behind the scenes), it never recovered its lost reputation. BBC managers must have quite clear in their mind the possible scenario if they start taking easy and popular, but morally wrong decisions.
BTW, I hope Clarkson went too far just for his over inflated ego, and not something worse like cocaine, as in the former case what happened could teach him a lesson, in the latter it could be the beginning of his end.
