      Of course Clarkson had to find a way to make it all about him. Tosser.

      Can anyone dig out the Clarkson columns where he brags about buying a farm to avoid tax ? 

    5. Turbulent-Carpet-127 on

      No sympathy. Majority of farmers voted for Brexit and we all have to suffer with the consequences. Besides they’ll still be richer than the average UK worker.

      I am always a fan of Multi-Millionaires who publicly admitted they bought land in order to cheat inheritance tax, suddenly thinking they have some moral high ground when the rules get changed to try and get some tax from those who can most afford it to get us out of the crap.

      I wonder if the 20000 realise that people like him buying farms to avoid inheritance tax are the reason this change was required, and the reason farmland is so expensive

      “Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions.” – Farmers.

      Jeremy Clarkson is literally one of the people who prompted this change, he quite literally openly admitted he was abusing a loophole to avoid inheritance tax.

      If charlatans like him hadn’t been doing this, the “loophole” would likely never have been closed, as it has legitimate uses as a way of avoid farm breakups.

      It’s literally a case that farmers should be stringing him up about this, not the government, for abusing this situation in the first place!

      They will also likely be driving some mad sized 4×4 get ready for Ulez lads 😂

      He is an odd individual, he has a side that is very humane, empathetic and relatable and another side with a persona that I would call “Boris Johnson”, that is his mister Hyde.

      I’m no accountant but if you make the farm a limited company won’t that allow you to avoid inheritance tax anyway?

      I don’t know if the farmers’ leaders on this protest realise they’re risking public sympathy by putting this self-confessed tax dodging “farmer” to the fore of their cause

      This title needs editing:
      “Multi Millionaire Jeremy Clarkson to lead 20,000 farmers as they descend on Westminster to protest inheritance tax changes”

    15. wybird on

      It would be quite funny if they were to have their tractors confiscated for using red diesel considering that’s only allowed for agricultural work.

    16. Mav_Learns_CS on

      Ah yes the very epitome of the reason the change has been brought in protesting alongside those caught in the crossfire.

    17. hopskiphoofed on

      Hope the other 19,999 realise that Clarkson is the reason they’re there.

    18. InMyLiverpoolHome on

      If I was a farmer I’d be protesting Clarkson and the like for being one of the main causes of this situation

      Clarkson isn’t their ally

    19. sabreapco on

      I heard a radio show host describing this as a piece of brilliance by the most wealthy to get those unaffected by the change to protest on their behalf.

    20. lodge28 on

      I sympathise for some farmers, but not farmers like Clarkson or Dyson.

    21. TRUZ0 on

      Multi millionaire mad because his tax loophole has been closed. Womp womp

    22. JeremyWheels on

      Didn’t realise this lot were actually in favour of “militant” protests that block roads etc

    24. Mattman254 on

      Going to be an unpopular comment but please read it to understand why Clarkson is doing this.

      With the new inheritance tax business over £1m, if a farm is worth £11m and the owner dies. The farm is inherited by the owners son/daughter. That person now owes a HMRC £2m in tax (20%, payable over 10 years)

      The son/or daughter now has 3 options
      • Somehow cough up £2m they don’t have and wont earn as farms hardly net any £
      • Take out a loan to pay the tax
      • Sell to a corporation

      The worry for anyone who buys British food from British farms is overseas companies and corporations will own all our farms which is self explanatory as to why that’s bad.

      ***Maybe I’ve missed something someone might want to bring up, maybe my summery is completely wrong, if someone wants to explain why the inhabitants tax isn’t going to leave a £2m bill in this case then please do. But please don’t just down vote without doing so first. This is a real worry our farmers and business owners have.***

      To my mind having Clarkson leading this undermines the point completely. The argument is supposedly that this law change is going to destroy small farms which are handed down in families. Having a multi millionaire who bought a giant farm, originally at least, as a way of avoiding tax fronting it isn’t going to persuade anyone.

      There’s no way the government backs down on this in any case.

    26. olih27 on

      My family are farmers and will be affected by the IHT changes. As much as I love Clarksons farm and think he has had a really positive effect on the perception of British farming, he is not the right man to lead this protest.

      Clarkson, Dyson etc are the people that should be targeted by this tax change, using farming as a means of avoidance, not their primary source of income.

    27. Voidoli on

      The people opposing it have a point though: there are many farms that was inherited for a few generations. The income of agriculture is always low and suddenly asking them to pay 40% is impossible. They never had that money, the price is boasted by inflation and nothing to do with them. The self supply rate of food for UK is already very low, no point in continuing hurting the farmer.

      I think the legislation should be more precise to tell the difference between Jeremy Clarkson and the generations of farmers.

      Or maybe: this government is intentionally doing this so they can import more food from USA to please their patrons?

    28. Msink on

      So a millionaire trying to dodge taxes by gas lighting, middle class farmers. That checks out.

    29. Tartan_Samurai on

      If they are block roads and disrupting traffic, I look forward to the sub rabidly cheering on their arrest…

    30. Cute-Bat-9855 on

      Man, people iust want to find ways to hate on Jeremy, don’t they?

    31. TheRiddler1976 on

      The same Clarkson who admitted he only bought the farm to avoid paying tax…

      Yeah, not sure I care about his opinion
