Fans of Clarkson's Farm have been sending threatening messages to a councillor in the Cotswolds. The councillor, who had been at odds with Jeremy Clarkson over his Diddly Squat farm, has resigned due to the overwhelming amount of abuse he received from Clarkson's loyal followers.
Clarkson, known for his former role on Top Gear, has been documenting his journey as a farmer in the Cotswolds for the past few years. However, he has recently clashed with his local council over proposals for additional parking and a restaurant on his farm.
The councillor, Dean Temple, represented the area where Clarkson's farm is located and had opposed some of the TV star's plans. He has now stepped down from his position, citing the relentless abuse from Clarkson's Farm fans as the main reason for his decision.
Temple shared that when he initially ran for the position, he was told that the area was calm and uneventful. However, things took a turn for the worse when he became involved in the planning disputes with Clarkson.
He received constant calls and messages, including death threats, from all over the world. Temple has now decided to seek election in a nearby area, as he can no longer handle the abuse.
Last year, he described his inbox as a "cesspit" due to the aggressive and nasty messages he received. He chose to ignore those and engage with those who asked genuine questions about the planning laws.
Temple did not blame Clarkson for the actions of his fans, stating that the TV star had been fair and honest in his dealings and had not used his influence to make things difficult for the council. He acknowledged that some fans may have taken things too far, but it was not Clarkson's fault.
The Agency reached out to Amazon Prime Video and Clarkson's representatives for a comment on the situation. Clarkson's Farm is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
