Later today, Jeremy Clarkson is expected to be sacked by the BBC.
Assault, racial abuse, and then having publicly insulted his employer while suspended, are unlikely to ease the 54-year-old's path to alternative employment.
Go to America? Would he even be granted a visa?
Nancy Cameron may go on hunger strike down the pub where she has been left. But her father needs to apologise for having defended Clarkson. Ed Miliband needs to demand that he do so.
Not because Clarkson himself is especially important, although he has had a deleterious effect on transport policy. But because racial abuse is very important indeed, and so is violence in the workplace.
