The former Top Gear host asked one of the Chinese tourists why they were watching his Amazon Prime program Clarkson’s Farm. They were inundated with Chinese tourists.
Jeremy Clarkson, the farmer and TV personality, was labelled “incompetent” by a visitor to his Diddly Squat Farm Shop, an interaction he found “tremendous”.
The 65-year-old has been lauded for his farming endeavours in recent years, which have highlighted the hard graft of UK farmers. His efforts have been so influential that there have been calls for the former Top Gear host to stand for Parliament, an idea he has consistently dismissed.
One branch of his Cotswolds-based farming empire is his Diddly Squat Farm Shop, where he sells produce from his farm. Despite being open for some time, the shop continues to draw queues.
However, Jeremy has recently noticed an increase in Chinese visitors both to his shop and watching his show on Amazon Prime.
He became intrigued and asked one reason why they were watching, which gave an unanticipated response.
In his column for The Sunday Times, he wrote: “So why are they watching? It’s a question I put to one of the visitors to the farm shop. His answer was tremendous. ‘It’s because we cannot believe how incompetent you are.’
It makes a nice change to watch a fat man f****** everything up because they are bombarded with tales of successful people doing things well.
Jeremy’s expertise may be doubted by tourists, but it seems like he’s doing a good enough job to pique the interest of foreign officials.
He continued, “We recently hosted a Chinese agricultural delegation who were on a fact-finding mission in the UK.
“The high-ups are very interested in what we’re up to,” it seems so obvious.
Really very interested, indeed. I showed them one of our hen houses, which may appear like a miniature Romany caravan but is actually quite high-tech inside.
Various degrees of support exist for Jeremy’s plans to pursue a political career, given his influence on British farming and his efforts to highlight farmers’ struggles.
