Jeremy Clarkson joked he was "off to the job centre" as he left his north London home today, after being suspended by the BBC. Report by Lauren Hampshire.

It appears Clarkson himself reported the incident to BBC.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...ear-suspension

The self-reporting could work in his favor.....but the article also states his contract expires later this month. They may just decide not to renew it.
