Clarkson on the nail again?

Why the heck should J.C provide solutions? He's not paid 100k p.a plus expenses of the same from the public purse to do so. He's simply a farmer, broadcaster of entertainment programs and journalist. He earns his money and his say and lives and dies by the sweat of his brow like the rest of us. Politicians are paid and paid well to listen to the problems facing their constituents and find solutions. If they don't one must ask questions of the solution people not the people facing the problem. Though of course those facing the problems may have an opinion on possible solutions and those tasked with finding solutions would do well to consider those options among others of their own devising.

I think you, like others, are missing the point. Well done for making a flyer about farming....on a forum for....farming. And well done for investing a lot of time on a farming forum waxing lyrical about farming...to farmers.
Clarkson's column is highlighting the problems the industry is facing to an audience of 650,000.00 a majority of those are not involved in Farming and some of whom no doubt can influence policy.
attacking the messenger not the message is a poor show
you never told us you were seeing other forums!

Mumsnet.....or maybe @Bald Rick covers that one
The flyer isn't for farmers. It is for farmers to distribute to the public. How many would you like ?

Jezza has achieved something on our behalf. I get so many non-farming folks tell me how much they have enjoyed his articles and Clarkson’s Farm and genuinely have a far better understanding of farming than they had before.
Whereas you obviously don’t like him as you continue to constantly remind us, like some old woman (with a very apt TFF name!).
I personally prefer Harry Metcalfe’s Harry’s Farm, which IMO gives a better understanding to non-farmers as to the challenge we face. Ironically, he is also a motoring journalist.
However, I say well done to Jezza. He makes some valid points and people listen to him.
At no time has he said anything that is completely wrong OR has he done us farmers any disservice.
Long may he continue!
This made me proper LOL. You’re wasted on here
He already has. He’s made huge numbers of the public realise that maybe just maybe we’ve got a right to be whinging, and that maybe we’re not all trying to destroy the environment and kill them.
The Archers. Or as Neil Kinnock called it, The Grundys and their oppressors.

You never asked if he was exclusive either (I get to hear these expressions as a Dad now. In my day you would have been a two-timer (or more) or just a plain bounder if the numbers were too high)

I was thinking "CAD" in a Terry Thomas voice and then changed to bounder ! Oh I'm now officially as old as the hills
