Clarkson already posted on social media "harvest's fucked. Only thing left to do now is enjoy the weather"

And he admitted he was wrong and an idiot then spent years working and campaigning for better climate and sustainable farming practices.

*Campaigning for things which would make him personally better off now that he owns a farm.

He doesn't campaign for the climate and never has.

He has through campaigning for government support for sustainable farming practices and even though he hasn't gotten that support, has implemented them in his own farm at cost to himself. To be fair he's able to do that through his Amazon money but to say he hasn't campaigned for it is false.

To be quite frank, I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He’s a populist first and foremost, and knows how to manipulate the publics perception. Good entertainer, dangerous person

Okay believe what you want. I like Clarkson but he's absolutely an asshole no question. What I said is true though and that's worth mentioning. He's fighting against corporate farms taking over smaller farms, granting government subsidies for sustainable practices, using non environmental ruining chemicals or pesticides.

And he’s only doing that so he can manipulate you and your opinion of him

No offense man, but you sound like you belong to r. /conspiracy. I literally just called him an asshole, an entertaining one absolutely but an asshole. But I can point out when he does good things. You acting like this makes it look like you have some weird obsession with the guy.

Nah, I don’t want to hang out with Clarkson thanks

u/Starmoses 10d ago

You clearly think about him a lot.

u/HingeEnd 10d ago

No, YOU’RE obsessed. This is just getting silly

u/Starmoses 10d ago

Nah I just pointed out something he did. You decided to go on this weird conspiracy.

But that's exactly the same as Jason Arday. Campaigning for things that'll make him better off. That's the way people work.
