According to more recent reports, supposedly leaked from the BBC's investigation, even that much isn't reliable. Apparently the whole 'fracas' took place outside the hotel with only the producer, clarkson, may and Hammond present, no other witnesses.
And he wasn't drunk, and it was over too few producers not food, and blah blah. Shows exactly how how the media can distort the truth and create "fact" in peoples' minds.
We've already had eyewitness accounts. Why is this account more trusted than those given by the Wards who were staying in the hotel?
As established above, none can really be trusted. A supposed leak from the BBC investigation suggested the whole thing happened outdoor with only the three presenters and the producer present with no other eye witnesses. Edit: I've not watched the video, and not really talking about that. Just making the point.
Fair enough, the video is embedded on my screen but must not be on some. It's not a serious account of what happened.
WELL SAID ^^^ THIS. Sadly not many will agree with you. The only issue Clarkson has with BBC is Danny Cohen. The left wing luvvie pc muppet. We have a few on here. Stanley O'Google and Hattie being 2 of them.
I think Clarkson probably has a bigger issue, as it turns out the bloke he hit ended up going to hospital with a split lip and feeling dizzy.
