Jeremy Clarkson, the well-known TV presenter and journalist, has recently changed his stance on why he purchased his farm. In the past, he had stated that it was a strategic move to avoid paying taxes, but now he admits that this was not the real reason behind the purchase. He now reveals that he simply wanted to have a game bird shooting area and was naive about the realities of farming. However, he still stands firmly against the new agricultural inheritance tax and joined thousands of farmers in a protest against it in London.
During the protest, Clarkson was questioned by Victoria Derbyshire from Newsnight, who brought up his previous statements about buying the farm to avoid taxes. He responded by criticizing her questions as being "classic BBC" and questioning the accuracy of their facts. In a new interview, he also expressed his discomfort with being the public face of the movement and believes that it should be led by farmers instead.
Despite being the star of the show "Clarkson's Farm," he does not consider himself a farmer and sees his role as more of a reporter on the farming industry. He also acknowledges the issue of rural poverty and admits that his show does not accurately depict the struggles faced by many farmers. He also revealed that he is not going out for dinner with other wealthy individuals like James Dyson, and that many farmers are struggling to make ends meet.
When asked about the possibility of retiring, Clarkson laughed it off and said that us Northerners are made of strong stuff. He also addressed his recent health scare, where he had to undergo a heart procedure to have stents fitted. Despite this, he has no plans of slowing down and is currently working on multiple TV projects, including the renewal of "Clarkson's Farm" for a fifth season.
In the end, Clarkson's true motives for purchasing the farm may have been revealed, but his passion for farming and standing up for the industry remains unchanged. He may not be a farmer himself, but he continues to use his platform to shed light on the challenges faced by farmers and advocate for their rights.
