Clarkson is best known for co-hosting Amazon’s Grand Tour and the BBC’s Top Gear automotive related programs.
His latest series is known as “Clarkson’s Farm”. It’s an excellent show about the struggles of a farm that he owns. He goes into detail into his battles with regulators and with local government.

Jeremy Clarkson has emerged an unlikely hero for protesting French farmers as one tractor driver praised the controversial TV presenter and his show Clarkson’s Farm.
Farmers have for days been protesting across France to put pressure on the government to respond to their demands for better remuneration for their produce, less red tape and protection against cheap imports.
In an interview with The Telegraph, 30-year-old Robin Leduc, who has a 200-hectare farm in Canly, praised Clarkson’s Amazon Prime Video series about his mission to turn his farm in the Cotswolds into a profitable enterprise.
“We need one of our French celebrities to do the same as Jeremy Clarkson. It’s everything he explained, that’s why and how we are here today,” he told the newspaper on Tuesday (30 January).
quote:
Farmers in France, the EU’s biggest agricultural producer, say they are not being paid enough, are choked by excessive regulation on environmental protection and face unfair competition from cheap imports.
Some of their concerns, like competition from imports and rigorous environmental rules, are shared by producers elsewhere in the EU, while others such as food price negotiations are more specific to France.

“[Prices] should be double what they are. It’s soul-destroying, the amount of work. I mean, I was out last week in honestly sideways rain, really heavy, hard rain, trying to get a pig’s penis into the back of another pig while Lisa, my girlfriend, was trying to give another sow the impression she was being mated by rubbing her back,” he continued.

French Farmers are doing What every non-globalist should be doing: fighting back against the globalist machine.
In America, those guys are rotting in a DC prison failing to be charged for anything for showing up at the Capitol on Jan. 6th.
Frick globalist. Frick liberalism. FJB

I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't tell the farmers to get the hell out of the road!

Well if French farmers are anything
like American farmers, then they're constantly frickin' bitching and poor mouthing. Despite the fact that they live in McMansions, their cornfed wives drive BMW's and the farmers themselves pull 70 thousand dollar bass boats behind their F-250's,
frick these whiney arse farmers here and frick 'em in France.
If you farm for a living, then you frickin' got money.

Not to say they all do this, but I’ve never met a poor farmer. I don’t think they exist anymore.

My family owns a farm and like all people who farm for a living, all they do is rake it in and complain.

Sure....that's it.
There are two kinds of farmers in America today:
Those who suckle on the big government teat and those who are stupid.

Clarksons Farm is the best series I've seen on TV since band of brothers

If that’s the case why don’t more people farm? I mean who wouldn’t want to rich? You’re such an ignorant dumbass. If you really had family that farmed you would understand what it takes and how hard it is. Yeah sometimes we make a lot of money and sometimes we lose a lot of money. Last time I checked making a living wasn’t illegal
