Bourdain is not a Brit, he’s very much a New Yorker. Perhaps you’re confusing him with Gordon Ramsey, who is a Brit.
Ramsey strikes me as being much too smart of a businessman to ever get involved in politics.
Ramsey is a good businessman, but an insufferable prick. Also, the success of his show “Master Chef” (which he breathlessly refers to as “Maschef”) has inflated his already fabulously oppressive imperiousness. Such a sad stereotype. All he needs is bad teeth.
