At least for now.  Today I heard on the radio that everyone's favorite EV hater, Jeremy Clarkson, was recently suspended by the BBC for trying to punch-out his producer.  The report said that he already has had half a million emails of support.  My guess is that the BBC will can the producer and hire Jeremy back in a couple of weeks - as soon as the big-money guys at the BBC see which way the wind blows and the scales tip.

"Those wacky Brits!"

"Yeah, I hear one tried to whack the other one!"

I think this is kind of a power struggle here. On one hand, the BBC wants to be large & in charge, and on the other, JC is indeed a bit big for his britches.

However, I did hear there was no punches. What supposedly happened was a 10-hour shoot where they worked through lunch with the promise of a nice dinner... then they ended annnnddd... no dinner... so JC did indeed blow his top.

All "he said, she said" at the moment. I'm surprised the BBC is playing it so vague. I do hear there are lawyers involved on the producer's side already.
