I mean he’s due. Hammond was already foreign minister and May was prime minister.

God no, I like him on TV and he should stay there.

His newspaper articles show enough dumb takes. I do wonder sometimes how much is him playing the character and how much is him just being an ignorant privaliged idiot, but after the whole farm tax thing I'm leaning towards the latter.

Cincinitus represented the patrician interest against the plebians (you know the ordinary folk like small farmers) and eventually the roman empire became dominated by a small number of massive landowners and everyone else was in poverty dependent of government handouts to avoid starvation. So yeah, I suppose a huge landowner like Clarkson who owns land to avoid paying tax and, as a by-product artifically inflating the cost for everyone else, is pretty apt.

I'm guessing that wasn't the point you were hoping to make, though?

Thanks but no thanks. I like Clarkson, I like his presenting and I like what shows he's in. Doesn't change the fact that he's a conservative and we've seen (and are continuing to see in other parts of the world) for over a decade how badly that has affected our country. No more.

You think he’d give up power? Nonono, Chairman Clarkson will only leave the palace in a jeweled casket

To be fair, he does talk alot about "When I come to power" throughout both series, so maybe that wasn't as much of a joke as we once thought...

His political views are terrible though. wasn't it just last week when he was complaining about weather warnings for storm eowyn, despite the fact that several people literally died in that storm, and more probably would have without weather warnings

No, I love Top Gesr and Grand Tour with the trio, but Clarkson is an insufferable prick
