Eh?
MK is about 250 miles from the Scottish border Page

Well why do Glaswegians emigrate there in their droves.

 

[UnitedinRed]

Maybe, but the feller went to the hozzy and got his "injuries" documented.

Hospital after a punch

Jeremy Tyson.

 

[Germlands Nozzer]

Dont know and dont care what he did. Many people have done worse and kept jobs.

Doesn't meant they should have done though. Or are you implying that e.g. it was ok for Saville to keep his job because he was so popular?

He apparently hit him. Now it wasn't deemed enough of a hit by the victim because he did nothing about it.

The bbc are trying to lool good. They will come out of this far worse than anyone.

Jeez you have bayed for the blood of Suarez and latterly Skrtel yet you think its ok for a tv presenter to twat a colleague for not organising his breakfast.

Can't say I have noticed an excessive amount of sweaties in MK.
I am in Leighton Buzzard now anyway, which is full of Italians.

Some people die from a single punch either directly or due to falling against a solid object.

To even compare the two is an onsult to every one of Savilles victims. Some idiot BBC execs did just that the other day and the bbc are now covering for them.

It was your Scottish sounding username that made me ask.

Nah. Its just not a big deal. High pressure situation got heated and man punches another man.

It was also their dinner not breakfast. 18 hours of filming and working to be offered a bag of cold sausage rolls.

He shouldnt have hit him but its easy see
why it got heated.

It's obviously an extreme and I was reluctant to use it, but no better examples came to mind. And it's obviously in no way the same level of seriousness. But your point that popularity allows you to get away with bad behaviour (and yes, describing what Saville did as "bad behaviour" is crass, but I suppose techically true) and apply double standards still stands.

Oops!

Tbh its Corby not MK that has a large Scottish influx.

Apparently he was pushed from behing moments before so that makes it ok.

Aye Corby is full of scots. A mate of mine did a builders job up there, was in a crew of 14 and 9 were Scottish!!

Jonathon Ross comes to mind.

Clarkson was suspended. He got away with nothing. Action was taken immediately and an investigation launched.

None of the above happened in Savilles case.

You must be a real subservient kind of feller to have an attitude like that, or maybe you give those lower down the chain in work a slap for **** all when you feel like.

I wouldn't have moaned. I bloody love sausage rolls.

Probably partly because we don't get them over here.

You'll have to remind me what happened with Jonathan Ross I'm afraid.

I'm not sure what your second point is. Clarkson was investigated and ultimately fired (which he should have been) and Saville wasn't (which he should have been, and it's a massive scandal that he wasn't). I don't see how the fact that Saville got away with it supports your point that Clarkson shouldn't have been fired?

(I'm happy to drop the whole Saville comparison btw, it's just becoming awkward and I didn't mean for it to become a running theme. Does your Ross example fit better?)

To be fair mate. You had no issue defending a racist or a deranged thug.

What clarkson did in comparison is nothing.

Some abusive prank call. Suspended, sacked, rehired on double money shortly after.

He hosted a popular talk show on the BBC and Guest DJ'ed on BBC radio.
During a radio broadcast, he and the "comedian" Russell Brand (notice my use of speech marks there), called Andrew Sachs, an old TV actor from the 70's, to conduct a phone interview presumably as scheduled, but he didnt answer and it went to voicemail.
This offended Ross and Brand apparantly so they proceeded to leave horrible messages on his voicemail about how he was unprofessional etc and how Russell Brand had banged his grand daughter (which was true but still, to boast about it on her grand dads voicemail, on BBC radio?!) and the Beeb kicked their asses.
Ross was fired and moved to ITV and bascially set up an identical talk show on there.
Brand, pissed off to America, where, hopefully, he is dead.
