Just heard this on the news - the DG is under armed guard as a result of the Clarkson sacking. Beyond my understanding that someone would do this.

he behaved badly and I bet it's not the first time. we just haven't heard about it in the news. he may be popular but he is still a bully and should be treated as such.

If this is not a hoax then it is an absurd overreaction.

I agree, ladyj - but you don't threaten to kill your boss if he sacks someone for bad behaviour....

It's not being treated as a hoax at present, dannyk. On the BBC news site at the moment.

I don't understand that. Is it an employee who's threatening to kill him - and if it is why hasn't he been arrested?

Sorry naomi, that was intended to be an example, not fact. Nobody's saying who made the threat, it was sent by email apparently.

When I saw that story, I momentarily checked that it wasn't April 1st.

Apparently this happened last Wednesday when Jeremy Clarkson was sacked.

I wasn't suggesting it was jc who was making the threats. death threats for trying to curb violence is so wrong and should be dealt with appropriately. what I was trying to say is that I think that jc is a bit of a bully.

Erm, yes but that doesn't back up your rather silly comment or answer my question.

What's the matter with some of you this morning, why are you being so aggressive, did you get out of the wrong side of the bed?
