Personally I don't find Clarkson amusing or  rate the show but feel he is being used as little more than a scapegoat for far bigger issues.  This has been building up for years and how he's escaped the extreme political correctness forced upon the majority of the UK is quite hard to fathom.  The girl fight that all this clearly was (as opposed to actual bodily harm or GBH) is merely the straw that broke the camel's back and he's been binned as a result.  He needn't worry, Sky or ITV will pick him up for a far bigger paycheck and the BBC can go back to protecting nonces and pushing their blinkered politcal agenda.
