Point being? People aren't allowed to be wrong?
He is doing somethong for UK farming. If it amounts to anything is up for debate. But if you're going to dismiss him now because he has changed his stance? You're the cunt, not him (on this occasion).
Just because he does a half baked farming show (where he's mocked sustainable farming) doesn't mean he's not wrong. He also hasnt changed his stance. He still denies climate change is caused by humans, downplays it's effects (except when it impacts him directly), and believed we can "science" our way out of it.
He's a grifter and an arsehole.
It's just a joke, like they do on Top Gear.
There's no need for the nasty attitude.
I don't really see how your response really lines up with what I even said anyway. I made a single line silly comment about Jeremy Clarkson finally realising climate change exists, and from this you appear to have got:
- I am offending all people who have ever been wrong once?
- I have somehow offended farmers?
- I am dismissing everything Clarkson did/does or said/says?
- I don't think people are allowed to change their opinion on a subject?
- I somewhere called Jeremy Clarkson a cunt?
- I am a cunt? (I do appreciate the clarification of "on this occasion" though, thank you)
I'm sorry if I've somehow offended you here, but I'm struggling to make sense of it, to be honest.
Nah. Jezzer is a dickhead. You don’t need to defend him.
Clarkson who, after starting to run a farm, told us that his previous climate change denial was all a joke. He doesn't even have the guts to own it. Let him look at his scorched fields and know that he helped make this happen.
If someone is stupid enough to look up to funny car man as a voice to base your opinions off of, they are already stupid.

Second most annoying man in the UK after Piers Morgan.
Quite probably, but there's a big gap between the two. I think sometimes we forget how much of a cunt Piers Morgan actually is.
He is quite the cunt.
he should go back to punching piers morgan
If the rich pricks can’t even afford to farm then what’s the average man going through I wonder?
That’s actually his entire point. He is fully cognizant of the fact that he is rich and wants to help be the voice of the common farmer that doesn’t have the resources he does. He said as much in his series.
this being a calling he found right when they discussed not excluding farmland from inheritance tax so...you know
how much of the land in the UK is farmed by the common farmer, and how much is enormous corporate latifundiums?
That’s something else he brought up. How common farmers are getting pushed out because of mega-corps. It’s worth watching at least the first season as most of those questions are answered
"Common" farmers are all multi-millionaires who hire farm labourers to do 90% of the work on their farms. Tenant farmers lease chunks of land off of "common" farmers, who are the aforementioned multi-millionaires.
Jeremy Clarkson is an overpaid entertainer and a cunt. His farm is about evading UK inheritance laws.
FWIW, he’s argued that very case from the beginning of the show…
