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.
