News farmers HIGNFY Ian Hislop
Ian Hislop explaining to farmers why Jeremy Clarkson is the very last person to lead them is magnificently done
It was the week of the farmers’ protests when thousands of farmers descended on Westminster to complain about having to pay half as much inheritance tax as everyone else (we simplify, obviously, but not overly so).
We mention it again – again! – because it was naturally a topic on this week’s Have I Got News For You.
And the estimable Ian Hislop had a few words of advice for farmers on why Jeremy Clarkson, who appears to have turned into their de facto leader in all of this, is the very last person they should consider for such a role.

And here are just a few of the things people had to say.
Clarkson the inheritance tax dodger pushing up the price of land and Farage the champion of Brexit that destroyed farming

A lot of people are saying that Jeremy Clarkson could be the British Donald Trump. Okay, well why not have Ian Hislop running against him? He’s so much better than Starmer – in every way – and he would unite a helluva lot of us who have nobody to vote for any more! https://t.co/TIEXe8qFsM

Ah yes, this one.
