'You have to pay' Jeremy Clarkson rebuffs claims he should get a knighthood

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has told Oxfordshire farmers he wishes he had known about their protest today as he would have “been there like a shot”. Farmers were speaking out after Oxfordshire County Council proposed banning meat and dairy from council events and only serving vegan produce instead.The Liberal Democrat and Green Alliance run council passed the decision in December in a bid to help meet green targets.Leader of the council Liz Leffman told the BBC: "This is about councillors taking a stand and saying we want to make our planet more sustainable, make agriculture more sustainable and we will source that produce locally wherever we can."The local farmers have hit back and insisted that the council should be supporting local produce instead.Jeremy confirmed on Twitter that he did not attend the protest at Oxford’s County Hall, but said he wished he could have been there.He told his 7.6 million followers: “Farmers of Oxfordshire.

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that posh Mayfair restaurant The Wolseley is his favourite place to eat, because he "likes the man who runs it".The former Top Gear presenter, 61, said Jeremy King gave him a ring whenever any fellow guests may ruin his dining experience.Jeremy revealed that he would usually get a phone call from King whenever there was a chance he may run into any exes or even Piers Morgan.He gushed in his latest Sunday Times column about both the eatery and the boss, saying: "But the main reason I like the Wolseley is the man who runs it."He’s called Jeremy King, and he doesn’t walk round making sure everything is all right. He glides.

coronavirus dominated the past two years of our lives, many hoped that 2022 would bring more positivity, a fresh start, and the beginning of a new era as we adjust to life living with the illness that took the lives of so many. Instead, the past month has been marred with Government scandals and among those who have just about had enough of it, is Jeremy Clarkson.The 61-year-old has never been one to hold his tongue when it comes to issues of public interest, and why would he start now?In his latest column for The Sun, the Clarkson's Farm star branded our country's leaders "pathetic"."Every single day it’s the same thing," he sighed."You’re a liar. You smell.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, is known recently for his Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm.The former Top Gear presenter has admitted that although he has taken part in many business deals, he can't help but feel he is out of his "depth".Jeremy bought a farm in Oxfordshire in 2009, and took the farm over himself in 2019.The presenter has had his work cut out for him with this latest business venture, but has made a successful TV series out of it.In a recent article with The Times, Jeremy spoke about his struggle with business ventures.He said: "Over the years I've done some business stuff, and every single time I vow that I'll never do it again, because I'm always out of my depth."I never know what anyone is talking about until someone comes round and tells me I've got to hand over a quarter of a million pounds."Then, when I look surprised, they point to page 96 of the small print, paragraph 4, subsection 2b, which always says, 'Blah blah blah you will then hand over £250,000'."Jeremy then calls for all to "take it steady", in order for there to be the most success, asking his readers to "grow some patience".The farmer's words about businesses coming after his recent venture to extend his farm with a car park and restaurant were denied.The former Top Gear star was planning to open a restaurant at his West Oxfordshire Farm, however plans were thrown out by the council last month.Jeremy faced an angry backlash from local residents over his ambition to expand the farm with more than 50 objections registered with the council.He proposed a 70 space car park and a 60 seat cafe for Diddly Squat farm.The presenter turned up in person at a meeting of West Oxon District Council last month to make a personal plea to councillors to back his

Covid, Jeremy Clarkson, 61, was excited to be jetting off to the Seychelles for a few days, somewhere he considers "the most beautiful island in the world". But the Clarkson's Farm star admitted he fell rather ill as he boarded the plane, and things only got worse for him from there.In his latest column for The Times, Jeremy told fans of his other health woes and how he got a "revolting eye infection" when he eventually made it to the island country in Africa."Despite the thick cloud, however, my skin, which was blue-white having spent two years in a jumper, went red more quickly than Hartlepool at the next election," he quipped."Plus I soon developed all the usual tropical itches and rashes and bites.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has revealed why glitzy Mayfair eatery The Wolseley is his favourite place to dine in London. Although the modern European cuisine is one of the factors that keeps Jeremy coming back, he declared “the main reason I like the Wolseley is the man who runs it”.Praising the restaurant’s boss, Jeremy King, the former Top Gear host claimed that his unique customer service involves giving the star a call to warn him about fellow guests who may cause him some awkwardness and ruin his dining experience.The TV personality said he’ll usually receive a call from King to help him avoid any run-ins with his ex-girlfriends, or former nemesis Piers Morgan.Jeremy and Piers had been embroiled in a feud that dated back to the former Good Morning Britain host’s time as editor of the Daily Mirror.Their bad blood escalated when Jeremy stormed over to Piers at the 2004 British Press Awards and punched him three times in the head.The pair then finally reconciled over a five hour drinking session at a pub in Kensington, west London in 2014.Writing about his love of the restaurant in his latest column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy explained: “There are many reasons I like this restaurant so much. “First, there’s always someone in there I know and can ignore. “Then there’s the temperature, which is always set at a level where it feels as if there’s no temperature at all.  “Then there’s the haddock Monte Carlo.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has called out Sir Keir Starmer, 59, over an apparent blunder he made while hitting out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 57, during PMQs last week. The presenter savagely branded the Labour leader “Sir Lego Head” in his latest column while questioning his criticism of Johnson.Jeremy began by blasting MPs for “sitting around arguing like schoolchildren in a playground brawl” over the ‘partygate’ scandal.However, when Starmer eventually veered away from discussing the alleged parties that were thrown at Number 10 Downing Street during lockdown, Jeremy wasn’t impressed with that either.Starmer slammed the leader of the Tories for raising taxes for working people.He was referring to the controversial £12bn rise in National Insurance tax, which is set to begin from April, despite people simultaneously facing rising living costs.The Labour MP asked: “Why do he and the chancellor keep raising taxes on working people?”Sir Keir went on to claim taxes are having to go up because growth is dwindling under the Conservative Government.Johnson quickly dismissed the criticism and said the UK has been dealing with an “unprecedented economic crisis” caused by the Covid pandemic.Weighing in on the PMQs debate, Jeremy penned in The Sun: “In a brief diversion this week, Sir Lego Head stopp­ed talking about ­parties and asked the Tories why they keep raising taxes on working people.” The former Top Gear host then claimed Sir Keir had made an awkward error in his critique of the Prime Minister. He fumed: “Well, you idiot, it might have something to do with the fact they can’t very well raise taxes on people who aren’t working.”Sir Keir previously urged Boris to resign as prime minister after he admitted to attending a

Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has denied claims new show is "ripping off" Jeremy Clarkson's farming series . The actor insisted on This Morning that Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure., which examines him and his family taking up farming, is completely different to Jeremy's Amazon show Clarkson's Farm.His comments came after fans on social media shared the stark similarities between the two programmes.The Andy Sugden star also alleged his show had already been filming for months when Clarkson's Farm first aired.Kelvin, 38, explained how he and his wife are big fans of it Clarkson's show.Host Alison Hammond asking Kelvin he's taken any "tips" from Jeremy's programme?He replied: "Clarkson's has been brilliant hasn't it? And there's so many of those programmes, Channel 5 have got one with Yorkshire Farm and Matt Baker's got one, we've been huge fans of those shows anyway!"Kelvin then explained he was already several months into filming before the former Top Gear host's show first aired.He said: "We were already three, four months into filming when Clarkson's came out.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, reacted to a tweet from one of his fans about Clarkson’s Farm earlier today.The television presenter’s Amazon Prime Video show was compared to Kelvin Fletcher’s new farming series.Kelvin is currently appearing on Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure after he and his wife bought a farm.The series follows the Emmerdale actor and his family as they adapt to farming life.One fan then drew the comparison to Clarkson’s Farm, which follows Jeremy adjusting to life as a farmer as well.User @stevewoozy wrote: “What a joke the @BBC are trying to copy @JeremyClarkson @netflix farming program!“#KelvinsBigFarmingAdventure is embarrassing, Netflix 1 - BBC 0.”Jeremy reacted to the comparison, as he steered clear of making any comment on the actual show.He penned back: “Actually, mine is on Amazon @primevideouk.”Following his response, Amazon Prime Video also weighed into the conversation.The official account wrote: “Not a mistake they’ll make twice after this.”Other fans also shared their thoughts on the comparison between shows.User JenniferLaChap6 wrote: “Regardless, there should be more farming shows.“People need to see where their food comes from and the amount of work it takes to get it to their tables.”Mis_Nim added: “They really miss you, huh? The BBC.”Azzasworld82 quipped: “Hahaha there’s only one Clarkson’s farm, not convinced BBC have the budget for a lambo tractor either!!” (sic)However, not everyone was so convinced about the comparison between the shows.Replying to Steve’s original tweet, several fans pointed out that there are a lot of farming shows out there.SecretPenguinX wrote: “Gosh you must live a very insulated life if you think there weren't any TV shows about running a farm before Clarkson's

Jeremy Clarkson spent his luxury sunshine break gawking at giant randy tortoises go at it like porn stars.The ex-Top Gear loudmouth, 61, said witnessing the reptiles’ eardrum-bursting banging in the Seychelles made it worth the "terror" of facing Covid tests to go on holiday.He added: “I watched two giant tortoises having quite the most complicated sex you can imagine."Of course you can see this sort of thing on television, but while Sir Attenborough will tell you that the future of the giant tortoise is in danger because of climate change, what I learnt by actually being there is that, while it’s engaged in the act, the male makes exactly the same noises as male Germans do in porn films."Jezza said he was left tearing out his hair by the process of having to submit to pre-travel Covid testing before his getaway at Christmas – then became convinced he was carrying the virus before he got the all-clear.The host whined: "Now the authorities have a new terror. A terror that turns your holiday into a faint pinprick of sunlight at the end of a mile-long tunnel filled with bureaucratic landmines and ‘Go directly to jail’ booby traps.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, got more than he’d bargained for when he decided to take some time off, away from his hectic schedule running Diddly Squat Farm. The Grand Tour host packed his bags and went to the Seychelles in search of sun, sea, and sand last month.However, he was in for a fright when he started to feel “really ill” on the plane.After dealing with numerous debacles at the airport due to Covid travel restrictions, Jeremy found himself turning down the complimentary champagne on his flight, due to his symptoms.Recalling his concerns in his latest column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy admitted: “I started to feel ill. Really ill. “So ill that I declined the complimentary champagne.“Seven hours later, bathed in sweat and barely able to breathe, I landed in Dubai, where I took my laptop out, again, and removed my shoes and watch, again, before setting off on the 200-mile trudge to the train that would take me to the A gates, where the flight to the Seychelles was due to depart.”By this point Jeremy started to fear the worst, thinking he could have come down with Covid.He added: “And all the while I knew I should not get on it.
