Indeed, I just double checked when you said that in case he'd changed his mind. In spite of his other awful characteristics as a human being he's been strongly anti-Brexit from day one.
Glad to see you go back on that. Clarkson is many unflattering things, but he never was a brexit supporter. Neither is he raging against other nationalities either, as far as I am aware. Hells, he is one of the few people I've seen to call out Boris Johnson to his face while he was mayor of London (While he was lying to Clarkson about the busses there).
@@storyshedblog4718 Not entirely. He's spent a lot of his career travelling throughout the continent, and of course further afield for car launches, tests and motorshows, as well as fairly extensive travel for the sake of it (and television). He's generally quite open minded about 'others' despite what his pot-stirring rhetoric suggests. He's also acutely aware of bullshit so will have decided on benefits and otherwise based on quite well informed research.
Can we at least continue to laugh at him for playing dress-up? I'm hoping for a protest by the fishing industry next, because I want to see him turn up in an oilskin jacket and sou'wester.
Aye, most of these bastards complaining are just wealthy landowners who lease flease actual farmers with high rents and are putting on this "small family's act to fool Joe public. Most of them drive luxury SUVs, not tractors.. The fact is, the wealthy landowners in Britain are long overdue a tax hit, they have ducked and dived for decades to hold onto their medieval style land claims /ownership. I have to admit post Brexit I lost a lot of respect for farmers and fishermen for falling for the obvious nonsense of Brexit...it was laughably obvious how connected farming subsidies were with EU funding and knowing how bureaucratic both our gov and the EU is it was pure folly to assume anything could or would be done quickly to improve things for farmers... What's sad about it is that farmers have always had a strange nationalistic pull here in Britain, and so throwing their support behind the likes of the brexit campaign gave a sense of legitimacy to a project, which as of right now has yielded zero benefits and fulfilled none of its promised improvements... Surprise surprise... Notice that these tend to also be the 'landowners' that allow/don't report fox hunting (illegal) or any of the other multitude of illegal poaching that they love to do. In other words, they think they are better than the rest of us.
I live in a fairly rural area, in the run up to the referendum there were large signs in quite a few fields urging people to vote "yes", which they did and as a result the farmers lost their EU subsidies. To the best of my knowledge didn't receive anywhere near the same amount in subsidies, that they were promised by the leave campaign, after we "took back control"...oh well, perhaps it is reasonable that their beef is with the people who persuaded them to support Brexit but ultimately failed to deliver on the promises...such as Farage!
@@Northstander Those subsidies were not matched by the Tories after Brexit and have steadily been reduced year on year. As of 2027 as per the Tory government plans as implemented UK policy any such subsidies will end entirely. You don't hear the gentleman farmers whining about that do you?.

Me too. I grew up with them. They promoted brexit here in Cornwall , they helped lose us hundreds of millions of investment , yet still they take. Sorry but they are beyond support now.
I know a few farmers. One was "I'm not voting in the referendum. I pay my MP to make those decisions. I know about cattle, not trade deals and treaties". Another was vocally pro Brexit and chuntered on about it in a village magazine, but he is mercifully quiet now, and another thought it was a stupid idea, and wanted to stay in a pro agricultural organisation with his French brethren who "won't take any sh1t". So my small sample has 3 different views. Where I live voted remain by a micro majority.
@storyshedblog4718 yes,but I don't seek out English food or anyone else's food in particular, I just pick up what I want for my meals. Frankly I don't give a fuck where it comes from. When I was younger I used to grow a lot of my own food on an allotment.
Phil your quite right about Labour's appalling communication skills. I've have hade to listen to the Tories, go on and on about Labour ruining the economy. No they didn't. It was the bankers that did that. I worked in the City of London from the early 70's to 2001. It completely changed in that time and was glad to get out the madhouse it became.
I bought a farm in France 20 years ago when I became an immigrant to Europe. Ironically, I bought it with the proceeds of the sale of my family home because, as a firefighter, there was no way I could pay the inheritance tax and still keep the house. It was in our family for five generations and was probably very cheap originally, but with the outrageous rise in property prices and being in a sought-after area, combined with long term modernisation lumbered me with a much loved but totally unsustainable asset. I now have a small farm of 60ish acres in Normandie, which I manage alone apart from a contract firm to harvest hay. I've around 45 Roussin ewes and 20 hives of black bees. I admit it is a hobby farm that takes up little time and was primarily chosen for the house and the privacy. When I die because I have no children, 40% of my estate will go to the state. my beneficiaries, such as my God children will be liable for 20% in tax plus legal fees. as will any charities and causes to which I may make bequest to. If I had children the property would (by law) have been divided equally between them. Anyone who wanted to continue with the farm would have to buy out or rent from the others. Imagine how that goes if there are 5 or 6 siblings. British farmers have it easy.
@PeterHuys-w3z No, black bees are the traditional honey bees of France. Unlike the popular British Buckfast bees, black bees have little fur on their bodies and verroa mites find it difficult to infest their colonies. They are very productive though a bit protective and unless gently handled somewhat aggressive (understatement) but in a good year can yield 20 to 30 kilos of honey per hive.🐝

Having grown-up in the countryside. Farming is a 24/7 occupation, in particular cattle farming and rearing. Fascinating that farmers can take a full day off to travel to London to "protest." Having lived in rural Oxfordshire, near someones pretend farm. The main complaints in local Oxfordshire newspapers seem to be regarding parking and blocked roads near the farm "shop." Recently in the Oxfordshire local press he had purchased a public house. Unless something has changed his main home is on the IoM.
Clarkson seems to be more popular with farmers than Farage as he was against Brexit and they adore his series for raising the plight of how little farmers earn. Unfortunately farmers are as ill-informed as the general population when it comes to inheritance tax (not helped by Clarkson baselessly claiming to Victoria Derbyshire that 96% of farmers would be affected).
Well, Boris Johnson wasn't a fighter jet pilot. Their reasons for getting their dressing up box out are the same. Good thing most of us aren't that easily conned.(Despite brexit)
I grew up in a small farming village and your spot on about the attitude of farmers. I also cannot see how any of the local farmers would be hit with this tax
Support your local farmer. They need us. They are as thick as bricks, it would seem. First Brexit, now this? Support is conditional. They'd do well to learn that.
I'd like to hear from the tenant farmers, since somewhere between 30% (2023 government data) and 60% (Rock report) of farms are tenanted These tenant farmers are the ones that struggle to make a profit The landlords of these tenant farmers are the ones that just cream off rents
Look up a certain past President of a certain farming union who sits in the House of Lords, the person is a tenant farmer, the person owns the land but farms it as a tenant, the tenancy can be passed on too any relative without paying inheritance tax
In the village where I grew up, of the two farmers that owned most of it, one spent his days exercising his 8 horses while the other took 3 weeks off (during harvest time) to watch Wimbledon. Unsurprisingly I have little sympathy for them.
Jeremy Clarkson. The indestructible floater in Britain’s cultural toilet, forever circling the bowl of controversy. From Meghan Markle rants to tax-dodging tractors, he’s the gift that keeps on giving, if your idea of a gift is something that stinks and refuses to disappear.
Why should farmers be any different to anybody else in the country on the inheritance tax laws, and they are going to get the inheritance tax at a lower rate than anybody else why
Clarkson has been playing the 'Clarkson the imbecile meathead' card very successfully for decades. It's a persona that has him vehemently disliked by many people I respect. There is no question that he originally bought his farm as a tax dodge - plus it gave him a lovely house with a spectacular view while he paid a real farmer to actually run the farm. That all said, the Amazon Clarkson's Farm series reveals another side to the man which is much more genuine, not least because it's largely self-satirising of the meathead persona. The series makes it very clear just how disastrous Brexit was / is for British farming whilst also showcasing various important topics such as conservation, re-wilding, the decimation of our insects and pollinators and the non-sustainable nature of intensive mono-culture farming etc. about which the public, especially Clarkson's typical fanbase, need a LOT of educating. So if a 'spoonful of Clarkson helps the medicine go down . . . ' so be it. I think the series also makes the point quite effectively that if a farmer doesn't happen to have a few million quid stashed away to bale them out of both the insanity of Brexit and chaotic weather patterns with climate change, then they're likely to find themselves up shit creek without a paddle . . . and that's when they DO know what they're doing, unlike Clarkson. His showcasing the genuine hardships of small scale farmers with much less than himself is what's won him a measure of respect in the farming community, though probably very much more than he deserves.
If most farmers are inbred Tories, this just adds another thread to the argument for nationalization of UK farming. I can't see why we didn't do it back in the 50s. We have obviously always been vulnerable regarding food supply so running the source of that supply on an, inevitably wasteful, for-profit basis seems counter-productive.
Well done Phil. One of the best analyses of why people support one political party/viewpoint over another. Ever think of writing an essay or book on the subject?
@shugieshugied2269 Who knows I guess. But bearing in mind the vast majority of people now think it's shite, I imagine he still does. And the immigration stats post Brexit 👀
Farage the politcal chameleon; - an authentic costume for every photo opportunity. Let us hope and pray that he doesn't gatecrash any naturists protest marches. A nation could be traumatised.
I think Clarkson is FAR more popular generally than Farage and the organisers recognised that. There are plenty who disagree with Clarkson but find him an entertaining character (admittedly as he gets older he makes that far more difficult for the politically aware), plus his farm programme on Amazon is genuinely very good and has raised awareness of lots of the genuine problems farmers face, albeit while ignoring those root causes that have their basis in Brexit or Tory policies.
There are several things to unpack here. 1. There are many people vital to society; farmers, police, nurses, firefighters, etc. ALL get paid very little but ONLY farmers pay NO inheritance tax. 2. Everybody paid IHT until 1986, when Lawson gave Farmers exemption (39 year with NO IHT). 3. Now farmers are complaining because they have to pay IHT of 20% (payable over 10 years - so 2% a year) with a threshold of £1m. Meanwhile, everybody else pays 45% over £325,000 payable immediately. How does this look? Well, an average farm in the UK is 250 acres, which in land terms means it is valued about £2.5m + £500k equipment. This would attract an IHT bill of £400k (20% of £2m) or £40k a year over 10 years off a £3m asset! Compare to a middle class person who passes his £1m house onto his son and his £500k pension and savings (these are not extreme values). The IHT bill for the son would be 45% of £1.5m or £675,000. So a non farmer passing on a house and pension worth half that of a working farm, pays double the tax compared to a farmer - using the new regime. Under the old regime the farmer would have paid ZERO tax. Finally, I would remind you that Clarkson (and all of the other 'business' farmers) all bought farms to minimise their IHT bill. They might moan but even today, they will only pay 20% whereas everybody else pays 45%, so a nice 25% saving. It is about time the rich farmers and landowners paid their dues like everyone else. These Tweed wearing, tax avoiding, brexit voting snobs are starting to see they cannot do tax avoidance anymore. 👍
@@mustrumridcully3853 Because the state would then lease the land at peppercorn rates for farming or other uses. That way land wouldn't have any monetary value, it would have a "utility value." Someone wouldn't be super rich just because an ancestor took land off someone else 950 years ago. A struggling tenant farmer wouldn't need to give half of their earnings to a landowner for the right to farm. How to do it would be a 100% inheritance tax on land. Slowly returning all of it to the state over a generation. This would also help the economy by reducing the cost of enterprise, at the moment someone starting an innovative business has to not only make it work to provide a living for them, they have to pay a return for all of the land, buildings and assets they use to someone getting richer just because they own those assets - mostly by inheriting massive wealth. By the state taking back the major asset it can then be leased at peppercorn (that means very low) rates based upon the utility it will provide to society.

Me too. I grew up with them. They promoted brexit here in Cornwall , they helped lose us hundreds of millions of investment , yet still they take. Sorry but they are beyond support now.
Agreed.
I know a few farmers. One was "I'm not voting in the referendum. I pay my MP to make those decisions. I know about cattle, not trade deals and treaties". Another was vocally pro Brexit and chuntered on about it in a village magazine, but he is mercifully quiet now, and another thought it was a stupid idea, and wanted to stay in a pro agricultural organisation with his French brethren who "won't take any sh1t". So my small sample has 3 different views. Where I live voted remain by a micro majority.

Do you eat food?
@storyshedblog4718 yes,but I don't seek out English food or anyone else's food in particular, I just pick up what I want for my meals. Frankly I don't give a fuck where it comes from. When I was younger I used to grow a lot of my own food on an allotment.
@@storyshedblog4718 Doesn't everybody eat food? So what is your point?
I remember the time when the UK exported food, that was not that long ago.
@@storyshedblog4718 Yes, & 80% of it comes from the EU. What's your point?
Still does export some food, but in total numbers we depend on imports to feed ourselves. The Tories have largely worsen the situation.
Phil your quite right about Labour's appalling communication skills. I've have hade to listen to the Tories, go on and on about Labour ruining the economy. No they didn't. It was the bankers that did that. I worked in the City of London from the early 70's to 2001. It completely changed in that time and was glad to get out the madhouse it became.
I bought a farm in France 20 years ago when I became an immigrant to Europe. Ironically, I bought it with the proceeds of the sale of my family home because, as a firefighter, there was no way I could pay the inheritance tax and still keep the house. It was in our family for five generations and was probably very cheap originally, but with the outrageous rise in property prices and being in a sought-after area, combined with long term modernisation lumbered me with a much loved but totally unsustainable asset. I now have a small farm of 60ish acres in Normandie, which I manage alone apart from a contract firm to harvest hay. I've around 45 Roussin ewes and 20 hives of black bees. I admit it is a hobby farm that takes up little time and was primarily chosen for the house and the privacy. When I die because I have no children, 40% of my estate will go to the state. my beneficiaries, such as my God children will be liable for 20% in tax plus legal fees. as will any charities and causes to which I may make bequest to. If I had children the property would (by law) have been divided equally between them. Anyone who wanted to continue with the farm would have to buy out or rent from the others. Imagine how that goes if there are 5 or 6 siblings. British farmers have it easy.
Black bees? Aren't these solitary ? (carpenter bees)
@PeterHuys-w3z
No, black bees are the traditional honey bees of France. Unlike the popular British Buckfast bees, black bees have little fur on their bodies and verroa mites find it difficult to infest their colonies. They are very productive though a bit protective and unless gently handled somewhat aggressive (understatement) but in a good year can yield 20 to 30 kilos of honey per hive.🐝

I'm still waiting for the gaol sentences to be announced for the road blocking farmers. It's a 5.5 year sentence for that nowadays, is it not?

Farage is so obviously self serving he's genuinely laughing at the coverage the media give him which earns him big bucks.😂
Having grown-up in the countryside. Farming is a 24/7 occupation, in particular cattle farming and rearing. Fascinating that farmers can take a full day off to travel to London to "protest."
Having lived in rural Oxfordshire, near someones pretend farm. The main complaints in local Oxfordshire newspapers seem to be regarding parking and blocked roads near the farm "shop."
Recently in the Oxfordshire local press he had purchased a public house. Unless something has changed his main home is on the IoM.
I've seen a couple of people on my feeds supporting farmers for the work they do. But neither were supporting their tax dodging.

Clarkson seems to be more popular with farmers than Farage as he was against Brexit and they adore his series for raising the plight of how little farmers earn. Unfortunately farmers are as ill-informed as the general population when it comes to inheritance tax (not helped by Clarkson baselessly claiming to Victoria Derbyshire that 96% of farmers would be affected).

Well, Boris Johnson wasn't a fighter jet pilot. Their reasons for getting their dressing up box out are the same. Good thing most of us aren't that easily conned.(Despite brexit)

Yes Farage is definitely not a farmer, and seems to try his hardest not be an MP either.
I grew up in a small farming village and your spot on about the attitude of farmers. I also cannot see how any of the local farmers would be hit with this tax
Because people are waking up to his lies! 😅
Support your local farmer. They need us. They are as thick as bricks, it would seem. First Brexit, now this?
Support is conditional. They'd do well to learn that.
The same IQ as you ?farage is just a side show
Farage holds £3,000,000 of land. Though renting it at market value to farmers who struggle to make it pay🤔
Try telling this lot , they do not listen to sense & truth.
I'd like to hear from the tenant farmers, since somewhere between 30% (2023 government data) and 60% (Rock report) of farms are tenanted
These tenant farmers are the ones that struggle to make a profit
The landlords of these tenant farmers are the ones that just cream off rents
Look up a certain past President of a certain farming union who sits in the House of Lords, the person is a tenant farmer, the person owns the land but farms it as a tenant, the tenancy can be passed on too any relative without paying inheritance tax
Who did he get them pants off, Michael Portillo?
@@HomeGrownVeg willingly?
Clarkson is a despicable man but I remember him saying that he voted against Brexit. I wonder what he thinks now?

I could not agree more..if a child goes on and on you ignore it...
I am glad you know famers in the same way as I do and that's not in Yorkshire.
Clarkson has been playing the 'Clarkson the imbecile meathead' card very successfully for decades. It's a persona that has him vehemently disliked by many people I respect. There is no question that he originally bought his farm as a tax dodge - plus it gave him a lovely house with a spectacular view while he paid a real farmer to actually run the farm.
That all said, the Amazon Clarkson's Farm series reveals another side to the man which is much more genuine, not least because it's largely self-satirising of the meathead persona. The series makes it very clear just how disastrous Brexit was / is for British farming whilst also showcasing various important topics such as conservation, re-wilding, the decimation of our insects and pollinators and the non-sustainable nature of intensive mono-culture farming etc. about which the public, especially Clarkson's typical fanbase, need a LOT of educating. So if a 'spoonful of Clarkson helps the medicine go down . . . ' so be it.
I think the series also makes the point quite effectively that if a farmer doesn't happen to have a few million quid stashed away to bale them out of both the insanity of Brexit and chaotic weather patterns with climate change, then they're likely to find themselves up shit creek without a paddle . . . and that's when they DO know what they're doing, unlike Clarkson. His showcasing the genuine hardships of small scale farmers with much less than himself is what's won him a measure of respect in the farming community, though probably very much more than he deserves.
Farming bregret... no more EU subsidies mean they have to work harder on much tighter margins...no more, new 4x4 every twelve months...
If most farmers are inbred Tories, this just adds another thread to the argument for nationalization of UK farming. I can't see why we didn't do it back in the 50s. We have obviously always been vulnerable regarding food supply so running the source of that supply on an, inevitably wasteful, for-profit basis seems counter-productive.
Maybe the fishermen will give Farage a warmer welcome.
Frrrying to-night !
Would give Mr Ben a run for his money
He left the fishermen and took the fish for the farmersmen😅

Well done Phil. One of the best analyses of why people support one political party/viewpoint over another. Ever think of writing an essay or book on the subject?
A TARDIS for Doctor Who anniversary! Nice touch.
Time for farmers to be like all of us. Pay IHT on all assets. We are taking back control! 🎉

One of the drawbacks of farming is wading through shit. Being amongst badenoch, clarkson, farage and dyson must have felt like just another day.
He does not need a platform, he is doing well enough
Farridge must have a good "dressing up" box. Cosplay. Ha ha ha
Clarkson was pro-remain. He was pictured with David Cameron during the remain campaign.
Farrage wearing wellies in the middle of London 😂😂😂😂
I think Clarkson is FAR more popular generally than Farage and the organisers recognised that. There are plenty who disagree with Clarkson but find him an entertaining character (admittedly as he gets older he makes that far more difficult for the politically aware), plus his farm programme on Amazon is genuinely very good and has raised awareness of lots of the genuine problems farmers face, albeit while ignoring those root causes that have their basis in Brexit or Tory policies.
There are several things to unpack here.
1. There are many people vital to society; farmers, police, nurses, firefighters, etc. ALL get paid very little but ONLY farmers pay NO inheritance tax.
2. Everybody paid IHT until 1986, when Lawson gave Farmers exemption (39 year with NO IHT).
3. Now farmers are complaining because they have to pay IHT of 20% (payable over 10 years - so 2% a year) with a threshold of £1m. Meanwhile, everybody else pays 45% over £325,000 payable immediately. How does this look?
Well, an average farm in the UK is 250 acres, which in land terms means it is valued about £2.5m + £500k equipment. This would attract an IHT bill of £400k (20% of £2m) or £40k a year over 10 years off a £3m asset!
Compare to a middle class person who passes his £1m house onto his son and his £500k pension and savings (these are not extreme values). The IHT bill for the son would be 45% of £1.5m or £675,000.
So a non farmer passing on a house and pension worth half that of a working farm, pays double the tax compared to a farmer - using the new regime. Under the old regime the farmer would have paid ZERO tax.
Finally, I would remind you that Clarkson (and all of the other 'business' farmers) all bought farms to minimise their IHT bill. They might moan but even today, they will only pay 20% whereas everybody else pays 45%, so a nice 25% saving. It is about time the rich farmers and landowners paid their dues like everyone else. These Tweed wearing, tax avoiding, brexit voting snobs are starting to see they cannot do tax avoidance anymore. 👍
Well presented video very informative thank you
All land should belong to the people, i.e. the state. The only thing that should be passed down should be first dibs on the lease for that land.
Why?
@@mustrumridcully3853 Because the state would then lease the land at peppercorn rates for farming or other uses. That way land wouldn't have any monetary value, it would have a "utility value." Someone wouldn't be super rich just because an ancestor took land off someone else 950 years ago. A struggling tenant farmer wouldn't need to give half of their earnings to a landowner for the right to farm.
How to do it would be a 100% inheritance tax on land. Slowly returning all of it to the state over a generation. This would also help the economy by reducing the cost of enterprise, at the moment someone starting an innovative business has to not only make it work to provide a living for them, they have to pay a return for all of the land, buildings and assets they use to someone getting richer just because they own those assets - mostly by inheriting massive wealth.
By the state taking back the major asset it can then be leased at peppercorn (that means very low) rates based upon the utility it will provide to society.
@@PleiadesImprezaT2000AWD-l4l Sounds like you have been reading too many books on political theory and not living in the real world. In reality it would never happen.
@mustrumridcully3853 no, nobody in politics would be brave enough. And, like you, the masses have been persuaded by epic wealth to use their power to support epic wealth and to suppress themselves.
That does not mean that it isn't a good idea or would be beneficial to the economy. It clearly would be a very good move.
