Clarkson's Petition for Re-Instatement

[Waspy]

He didn't hit a woman though. And while perhaps it shouldn't be different, it is. If he hit a child it would be different still. You cant judge a situation by how a different scenario would be treated.

Non of it matters. I very much doubt this was the reason they got rid of him. It was just a good way of getting rid publicly. They have probably wanted him gone for a long time, and couldn't just say "we are not renewing his contract because he is a bit of a knob". This way they have a good excuse.

He hit another human being.

Try telling a woman it's different

He should have gone when the Nigger word was used but this was swept under the carpet next to all the fingers of fudge and Jim'll fix it badges.

He didn't say "Nigger" tho'. He mumbled a noise that those of us of a certain age heard as "nigger" as that's how we knew the rhyme all those years ago.

Our kids say they caught a tiger by his toe. I dare say to them, Clarksons mumbled noise would have sounded like tiger.

It was implied even as it was a mumbled  "igger" noise, otherwise he would have not said sorry and would of said Tiger clearly
Everyone over a certain age black or white knows the rhyme.
Anyway its neither here nor there, he got the sack for hitting someone just as I would, only right about now I would be worrying about my mortgage

I said that maybe it shouldn't be treated differently but in reality, it is different. Statistically, a male on female attack will warrent a much longer jail sentence. Female on male attacks rarely even hit court. So clearly the courts see it differently (even if the law doesn't). Just as an attack on a child (another human being) would be a harsher sentence still.

He'll be back..on a different channel maybe, but he'll be back

The BBC abuse crap has been front page news for years now. Harsh to say only nobody gives a crap about that but does about Clarkson. You can't sign a petition to stop something which happened 30 years ago.

Assuming the abuse ended 30 years ago, which it didn't. It's still happening today. Old news takes the heat off todays abusers which will no doubt be outed to another generation who are similarly distracted by nonsensical news media.
