Top Gear

I just heard that the victim says he does not want to pursue the matter. .

Aww bless him, poor 'victim'... He doesn't even have the nuts to follow it through

I see that the police have now said no action will be taken.

Whilst that will save public money, I know that in the past, and probably still for the 'ordinary man in the street' they would have been prosecuted as, I understand, there were witnesses to the assault.

One law for Clarkson and another for Joe Public, or so it would seem.

You know, you COULD on the other hand interpret that as "he manned up, and like blokes throughout the ages, accepted that sometimes you get a punch for being a prat, decided to grow up and let it go".

Who knows though.

As for Clarkson, well I've said before, I'm almost convinced he's a year or so decided he's getting on a bit, wants to "retire" but either doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who wrecked Top Gear, or even just wants to make a "laddish" name for himself so he's trying to get himself sacked.
