Jeremy Clarkson addresses past inheritance tax comments as he joins farmers' protest
Briefly

Jeremy Clarkson joined farmers in London to protest against changes to agricultural inheritance tax on Tuesday, November 19. He acknowledged his past statement about buying land primarily to avoid inheritance tax, clarifying it was not the main reason. He stated, 'The only reason I said that is because I actually bought the farm because I wanted to shoot, but you can't go around saying Oh, I wanted to shoot' because then you get shouted at by animal enthusiasts.' This demonstrates his intent to advocate for farmers while reflecting on his own complexities.
Clarkson humorously noted, 'I jokingly said, oh, it's just inheritance tax and now of course it's come back to bite me on the arse, but it doesn't really matter because we're here to support farmers, we're not talking about me.' This reflects his awareness of the implications of his past comments but emphasizes the collective goal of supporting the farming community rather than focusing solely on his individual decisions.
