    Is being able to speak properly no longer a requirement for speaking jobs?

    That was hard work....took ages to get to the point, her voice made it like being waterboarded.....and May was nowhere to be seen or heard....and is one complaint a 'backlash'? This comment is a backlash about this 'news' story.

    1: it's an accurate stereotype
    2: it's not a bad thing. Hot weather and guns are awsome
    3: IT IS A JOKE

    I like top gear, and the personalities precisely because they are outspoken and speak their minds I'm an American from California who has never been to Florida. I have nothing against Florida, but I'm sure Mr. May is right about the weather and that people have guns. After all, we do have a constitutional right to own, of which I do own a firearm. However, I'm of the belief that everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter if it offends. I watch many videos about the UK and I have to say it's troubling and sad to see what's happening there, and I have my opinions too. Opinions that may be offensive to some British people. I believe people everywhere need to learn to bear with others and develop a thick skin, and stop being offended by everything.

      I have been to Florida, and May isn’t wrong. If someone with brittle ears doesn’t like the truth, move.

    • @sleepysloth5888
      @sleepysloth5888 Před 3 měsíci +2

      I have it in Florida for 17 years and I can confirm James May is definitely right. It is very muggy, very hot and there are a lot of people with guns

    The three pillocks have made millions smile and forget about life for a little while. My son and I watch GT and Top Gear. It's still the best show on Earth. We even liked, Chris, Matt, Chris, and Rory. They were a good team. We need the show back on the air with these gents. Thank you, Clarkson, Hammond, and May for the years of fun and adventure. You will be missed.

    The guy who May told the joke to probably thought, "And? I own a bunch of guns myself, infidel." And James May, who currently lives in the biggest nanny state in the world, saying "How am I less free?" is a funnier joke than the Florida one.

    A joke is called a joke for a reason. Idiots are easily offended and if you apologise for it they get even more offended because you said sorry. Someone will always be upset over a comment, but I’m offended that your offended.
