Personally, I do think its a case of going over the top (on behalf of the bbc), you can't make tons of money off of someone being a certain way, then suspend them when being that way gets them into trouble, its just stupid, plus thefact that everything Clarkson says is for effect, there are very few genuine racists left in the middle-upper classes in the UK, he loves to push his luck and butt up against authority, and don't we all?

There's more to this than meets the eye, and don't forget that the BBC will have to refund millions now to other networks who have paid for the now cancelled shows. It's a mess and there is a deeper reason for it than is being shown.
Can you give us a source on this? I am curious.

Also, people keep acting like he was suspended for being himself, he allegedly threw a punch at the producer... I don't care who you are, a producer isn't going to allow something like that.
