I stopped watching the Farm after the article he wrote that called for the vile abuse of a woman, modelled on game of thrones. I thought, I just can’t sit back as though it didn’t matter. But the programme was great, and leveraged his fame to shine a light on farming.

I must confess to also being a fan. I dont always like his views or behaviour but I love the way he refuses to play the game and shows himself warts and all. He is often a pillock and doesn't shy away from that allowing his mistakes to be aired . Seeing him being dressed down by Kaleb for his latest disaster is always a highlight
I don't fancy him personally but there is something v attractive about a man who is so at ease with himself.

HughGrantsfurrysquirrel · 23/10/2025 20:11

In guessing Katie Hopkins didn’t start this thread!! Unless of course she IS fucking Clarkson, and wants to say it loud and proud.

I think he can be entertaining and makes great tv. Obviously he’s flawed and has rightly been reprimanded for assault and other issues but there have been issues that get in the media which are nothing or misrepresented. I’m thinking of the time he sarcastically said protesters should be shot. He had to apologise and people who hadn’t seen the segment were talking as if he’d said it seriously, but if you watch the full clip he says because it’s the bbc you have to be balanced and goes on to say they should be shot as a way of offering “balance” to the debate, clearly a joke from his tone and what came before it.

IS he clever? He often comes across as a bit thick on Who Wants to be a millionaire on the Ask the Host bit.

Show quote history

I said he's a clever broadcaster ie he's very smart at knowing what will entertain. No idea about his general knowledge. Different things.

WestwardHo1 · 23/10/2025 20:06

I think basically he's a stupid teenager in an aging man's body.

WestwardHo1 · 23/10/2025 20:05

I am a very, very unwilling fan. Very very very unwilling...I am a greenie environmentalist LibDem voter FFS.

However he makes me howl with laughter, I love Clarkson's Farm, I love his Millionaire hosting, and I love the way he's standing up for farmers when this dreadful government seem to be doing their utmost to annihilate farming culture and land custodianship.

His charmless boy racer antics, less so

I like James May too.

If you had watched the episode, I think I can understand his reaction.

And the hotel restaurant certainly didn’t look closed in the episode

Show quote history

It wasn’t televised or part of any episode so I have no idea what you are referring to.
The BBC sacked him for an unprovoked verbal and physical assault on a member of production staff.

He's funny??? Is he? I mean the irony of him giving Zack Polanski grief about his teeth when Clarkson looks like he's harbouring a stinking graveyard in his mouth with those yellow, rotting things he calls teeth is pretty funny I suppose.

Edited

I'm just surprised Zack just hasn't hypnotised his teeth straight...

GellerYeller · 23/10/2025 19:48

Does anyone know what was Clarkson or May’s version of events over the punching?
In general, I assume most of what he says is for attention.
I’m not a big drinker but DH had some of his Hawkstone lager and cider and it was decent.
I liked his idea to only use British produced food and drink at his pub. I accept that’s easier for him than the local down the road that’s not celebrity owned obviously.

Never fancied him.

But I'm very glad that he's shone a spotlight on farming and the countryside. Gates and co would have us eating 🪳 for protein.

I never fancied him but he showed up in my dreams during covid and I haven't been the same since

Vitriolinsanity · 23/10/2025 19:43

Every farmer I know, and it’s many, loves him.

I have sat poolside reading his books many times wheezing with suppressed laughter, he’s right up there with Bryson.

I confess, he has also been the subject of many filthy dreams.

Jeremy Clarkson
Nigel Farage
Boris Johnson
(would have added trump but didn’t want to make anybody vomit)

In a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid it would be a hard choice as obviously avoiding all of them would be preferable.

How anybody still likes Clarkson after he punched a junior member of staff because they couldn’t get him a steak when the hotel restaurant was closed I have no idea.

Ditto anybody thinking he represents farmers when he admitted he only bought his farm as a tax dodge.

He clearly has great PR contacts and an enormous brass neck.

If you had watched the episode, I think I can understand his reaction.

SpikeGilesSandwich · 23/10/2025 19:39

I like him. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well aren't you just a fucking ray of sunshine.

How's life in troll-land?

EmpressaurusKitty · 23/10/2025 19:36

Well, he can’t be much good if the OP’s Mumsnetting at the same time.

Treesarenotforeating · 23/10/2025 19:34

Not even with a barge pole 🤮

Whatisthisperihell · 23/10/2025 19:31

My preference would be James May to be honest but as long as you're both consenting adults crack on.

Love Jeremy Clarkson. Wasn't he voted world's sexiest man or similar a couple of years ago?

Anyway, YABVU OP

This is why the UK should never be allowed to vote for anything, ever.

BettysRoasties · 23/10/2025 19:20

Well I can’t wait to see what exciting thing his done today to piss people off.

Yes he got the farm to avoid IHT oh well. He does grow food on it though so a farmer. I’d rather rich men grow food to avoid IHT than the many others who use loopholes holes who don’t do a service like feed the country.

ThatNaiceMember · 23/10/2025 19:18

I find him amusing but no thank you. DH wouldn't like it and I'd pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy it much either!

AcquadiP · 23/10/2025 19:16

Team Clarkson - he's brilliant!

Is that an offer? Then I decline.
