Both have their strengths and weaknesses, don't we all.
I think they are similar in many ways.
Difference being, Bolt allows you to argue against his opinion whilst Hinch doesn't tolerate anyone having an alternative view to his when he has rammed it down your throat!
True, good point, but this said, Hinch has accomplished things that Bolt hasn't had the balls to follow through.
Bolt often stops just short of going too far...and or making a lasting impression where it matters most.
I think in part this might have to do with him toying with the possibility of a future in politics--- (Just a hunch)
This said, Bolt needs to maintain a tidy appearance. Not be seen to be too extreme if he's planning a future in conservative politics.
Perhaps when Hinch was diagnosed with liver cancer he thought, what the heck, it's now or never and this is what spurred him on to go the extra mile, coupled with him not having kids to worry about death threats etc, you tend to tread more carefully/conservatively when there's more than yourself to think about.
Either way, I like Hinch and Bolt for different reasons, both have their good and bad points.
It's Xmas, lets love them both.
