Jeremy Clarkson Lashes “Classic BBC” As OId Grievances Surface At UK Farmer Protest


The BBC was caught in the crossfire as Jeremy Clarkson marched in Westminster against UK government plans to introduce an inheritance tax on farms.

The Amazon Prime Video star was interviewed by BBC Newsnight host Victoria Derbyshire during the protest, taking issue with her line of questioning. The presenter told Derbyshire her inquiry was “classic BBC” and chided her when she asked follow-up questions about the government using the tax to distribute wealth and raise money for public services. Derbyshire’s question was a reference to a comment Clarkson made in The Times of Londo n in 2009, when he revealed the reasons for purchasing Diddly Squat Farm, home to his Prime Video series.
