When reading that reply it's hard not to think about a pigeon strutting around a chess board knocking pieces over and crapping on vacant squares, know what I mean squire? Hilarious
You could just have ignored the park life comment and looked a tad less pathetic but hey-ho
P.s. The pigeon comment didn't bother me particularly when it was made, and still doesn't. I find a thick skin as well as not being a pompous self-important windbag helps.
Having just noticed the latest BBC Complaints response, here it is. Presumably others got the same. The thing is, contrary to their opening line mentioning JC and TG, I didn't complain about Jeremy Clarkson or Top Gear. As per previously, they can't be bothered to read complaints properly. So professional 
Dear TB
Thanks for contacting us, and we're responding to you about Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear.
Ken MacQuarrie’s investigation has now concluded and the BBC’s Director General, Tony Hall, has issued a statement explaining the steps that have been taken.
We’ve also published a summary of the findings of the investigation. Both of these can be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/statements/jeremy...
We’d encourage you to read Tony’s statement as it outlines, as fully as possible, the current situation.
Thank you for contacting us.

Appears Dermot O'Leary from XFactor is top running for the JC replacement role. He had already resigned/no further series and "likes cars".
Any chance we could have Mark Webber instead - proper racing driver of the highest calibre and a down right decent chap
They can like cars and talk about cars all they want. Clarkson was successful because he wasn't PC, cocked about and said things most of us thought but didn't really think we should say. An entertainment program that talks about torque curves, boot space and safety features isn't going to be as successful as one where the presenters piss about dropping Morris Marinas on caravans.

MW has to be one of the best punts yet, and if he's not for TG then for his own car prog.nyxster said:
It was Yorkshire. you're lucky if you can find a shop open after 4pm to sell you a bag of Monster Munch.
JC's from Yorkshire......maybe his tirade of abuse was like this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItcedKDZF0EMcWigglebum4th said:

A question for those saying clarkson should not of been giving the boot
How much should i be earning before i can boot you firmly in the nuts and not be sacked?
If i earn double that can i kick you twice in the nuts?
If i earn half that am i allowed to give you a gentle slap?
Earnings needed to fart in your face?
And now the biggy
Would bill gates be allowed to chainsaw both your arms off without you complaining?
Can no one tell me how much i have to earn to kick folk in the nutsHow much should i be earning before i can boot you firmly in the nuts and not be sacked?

500 jobs will be lost. I'm sure that the 500 affected families will understand that Clarkson had to go, and the sacrifice of their jobs was a small price to pay.
This is what happens when lefties try to take the high moral ground.
The real victim in this is Oisin.
He didn't want to report the assault. He doesn't want to give any evidence to the police.
Oisin could easily have come out of this with a £50k bonus and a secure future. Instead, the people who are pretending to be outraged that he was assaulted, have forced him into hiding. These people were not outraged because Oisin was assaulted. They are outraged that Clarkson assaulted someone.
In fact, I would say that they are not outraged at all. They reacted with glee when the story broke. They had an opportunity to bring down one of the few "non-lefties" that remain at the BBC.
So, the real victim will never see justice. Far from being compensated, he will be punished for years to come.
So, I have a question for those of you wanted Clarkson sacked. Are you pleased about the outcome for the victim - you know a chap called Oisin Tymon?
Another question, should Oisin have had any say in Clarkson's punishment?

Dislike the BBC, find top gear a bore.
You cannot assault a colleague and expect to keep your job. Really that's the end of the story.

That will "no answer then".Left wing, right wing. No interest in that. Small minded attitudes that can not see further than there own insignificant little worlds, these are the real problems.

Stop making crap up, it's Clarkson's neanderthal fans that were making threats because their untouchable hero got his comeuppance. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/25/produ...

I'm genuinely interested in how you have worked out that 500 jobs will be lost. I have a (admittedly limited) understanding of cost accounting for TV companies and, give how the BBC operates (permanent posts, internal secondments,agency staff, contractors, outsourced or shared services) I'd be surprised if even the production Accountant could say with any degree of certainty that 500 posts will be lost.don4l said:

Those self-same lefties who have helped JC to become a millionaire? Those lefties who have contributed towards making TG the success it is? Do you really believe they've spent the last 13 years trying to get rid of him? They've had more than one opportunity to get rid of him. he has been on final warning. He's now hit a colleague. After spending 3 hours in a pub. This wasn't the lefties fault.don4l said:

This is where the conspiracy theories perhaps contradict each other. If JC's sacking was something that the lefty BBC wanted then won't they actually ensure that Oisin {their "patsy") is looked after? Or will he be punished because they didn't want to sack JC?don4l said:

And then we would have had accusations of "weak, lefty BBC management resorting to bribery to cover things up in order to keep their greedy mitts on the £50m profit, rather than taking the moral high ground". Ever heard the phrase "damned if they do, damned if they don't?"don4l said:

Just about the facts of the matter. The worst thing of course being the public exposure of Tymon, who has become a tool of the leftist cretins who's agenda the entire circus has been. 500 jobs will be lost. I'm sure that the 500 affected families will understand that Clarkson had to go, and the sacrifice of their jobs was a small price to pay.

Disregarding rules at any cost = equal stupidity.king stupidity I'm a fan of JC and Top Gear. JC abused a colleague for 30 minutes and then hit him. As even his colleagues and supporters have said, he's a knob. That, and only that, is why he got sacked.
