The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

no, it wouldn't, and I don't recall Clarkson making jokes like that about terrorist atrocities in other countries either so it's a rather pointless statement!

Foreign TV stations do actually frequently put out offensive content about the UK and /or it's citizens!!

One thing to consider, this isn't a live show. The final cuts are approved by editorial and directorial teams. They are responsible for what goes out on a sunday night.

They carry a responsibility for what goes out on TV, because it's them that make the decisions. Where are they when all this nonsense about what he did or didn't say and what it may or may not mean is going on!!

But, looking at the inquiry, and who ran it, he had to be sacked. you can't go round smacking people at work and expect to get away with it, not these days, not with everyone being in touch with their feminine side and all that.

Comparisons with the Saville affair are rather annoying and disingenuous, but what that did prove is that no one should be so important as to be above the law or untouchable just because of who they are.

If the producer would have been sacked for punching Clarkson, then Clarkson has to be sacked for punching him.

I hope he tries something different & not come back with another motoring show, that would show to me that he is indeed a knob.

Why not have a go on the big channel (BBC 1) with his own show "Clarkson" along the lines of Parkinson or riskier "Clarkson Uncensored" on commercial telly (the opposition) a live show with audience, be good to see if he could pull that off.

Mezo.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he took the whole enchilada including the Hamster and May to another network!

There is a rumour all three are in discussions with Netflix

Yes he can be a kn0b at times but I quite like his says what he likes and likes what he says attitude. But all good things have to come to an end at some point. Don't think anyone will replace the Top Gear team, don't even think the BBC should bother trying.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
