I have not seen the original post but that is sickening. I have met Jim once or twice, an amiable idiot would be the worst thing I could have said about him but he was doing a job. The way he was doing it was good enough for the BBC and others to put him in camera to spout his opinion. Loads of people disagreed with what he said but what the hell; people think I am stupid for the way I think about things as well.
RIP Jim. A character that shall be missed.
