In addition to the previously mentioned demand, the Top Gear presenter wants his lawyers to go all-out and start an investigation into what BBC higher-up smeared his persona with the lousy Jimmy Savile comparison.
Good on you, Jezza!
Despite his wrongdoing (punching Simon Tymon in the kisser), being compared to Great Britain’s most notorious child molester is inexcusable, full stop.Some voices claim that the BBC exec that spread the allegation to the media is close to the corporation’s head of strategy, James Purnell. In any case, the BBC went one step too far with that statement.
Only time will tell if the British Broadcasting Corporation will man enough to offer a public apology to Jeremy Clarkson and confess which head honcho made the rotten Savile-esque allegation.
In other news, James May tweeted recently about peeling vegetables and the arduous task of changing some light bulbs in his house. Thing is, both of the tweets are alleging unemployment... with a hashtag.
Seriously, if you really are unemployed, good luck to you. It's not funny in reality.
