I haven't read all this guff, but he seems to be a huge figure of sympathy because of his failure to make his farm work out.

I just found the following, and now I'm a devotee of this sensitive man.
" In his latest column for The Sunday Times, he wrote: " I can never sleep properly the night before they go, and all the way to the slaughterhouse I have what feels like a hot cricket ball in the pit of my stomach.
“And then when it’s finally time to say goodbye, I always become a little bit unmanly.”
“I know that I’m trying to be a farmer and that this is what farmers do. And I know I will enjoy the bacon and ham and pork chops that result.
“But it’s not easy, taking seven happy, healthy pigs from their woodland home to their deaths.
“Especially as pig prices are currently so low I’ll almost certainly end up making a loss on the transaction.”
Jeremy Clarkson's farm was also hit by another tragic loss after an accident. Although Jeremy had been looking forward to his remaining female pigs welcoming new piglets into the world, tragedy struck on the farm when one pig accidentally killed ten of her babies after giving birth.
The mother pig was later nicknamed Clumsy by Jeremy and his partner Lisa Hogan, after she sat on two of her 10 piglets, leading to all of their deaths."
Anyway, at last I didn't see any mention of him being afraid of his venture failing. That's good news for some. :-)

Is this just because you don't like him that you are taking such obvious pleasure in his failing?
Would you be so horrid about any farmer that posted such issues on here or is it just ones you perceive to be rich or privileged?
If it's about the meat thing do you go onto what's for dinner threads and snipe at anyone who might mention a meat based meal? I haven't noticed that you do.

I like Clarkson despite myself. As for the OP, I've seen both seasons of Clarkson's Farm and I think it gives a helpful impression of the trials and tribulations of British farming, so much so that he won an award for it by the British Farming Awards. He shows how pathetic and pompous local councillors can be sometimes, as have I! He highlights some of the problems that Brexit has caused for farmers. And he shows the emotional issues of dealing with livestock, as a farmer and omnivore. I will enjoy the third season.
