    I’ve been watching James May’s travel and cooking shows. Haven’t heard anything terrible about him, other than being Br*t*sh.

        Can’t agree there. I’ve had plenty of coworkers who were worse than Clarkson. Hell, I have family members worse than him.

        By that logic, I’d be a far worse person than James May. Which I might be, but that’s beside the point.

          Except you don’t choose your family, and probably have no control over who you work with, which definitely isn’t the case for May who has actively chosen to stand by Clarkson and their joint brand because, if nothing else, the heaps of money it makes him matter more than not supporting a violent asshole who abuses your other co-workers (or as they see them - “staff”).

        Look at it from another perspective: Anyone who had to spend as much time with Clarkson as him has a 5 star room reserved in heaven with a free buffet and open bar.

      James May is the only decent person on TV. I will fight anyone who says otherwise
