On the timeless parables of Clarkson's Farm, the British farmer protests, and the contrast between Jeremy Clarkson's pro-human localism and David Attenborough's anti-human globalism
I’m a bit biased as I’m an avid gardener. But to my mind Clarkson’s might be the finest program I’ve ever watched. I laughed. I cried. I learned. I became outraged.
My thoughts EXACTLY!! My husband has planted more fruit trees than I can count and enjoys toiling in the soil. We absolutely LOVED the entire Clarkson Farm series .
Great piece, Yuri. The best truth: "All humans want to thrive while protecting the environment. This should not be political issue. Everyone wants clean water, abundant healthy food, and access to nature."
I grew up in the 70's and 80's when folks dropped their automobile ash trays in the streets. We all decided to clean our areas up and it happened; without government subsidy. Common sense.
I’m not sure that this has improved at all. Cars don’t have ashtrays anymore so people just toss them out one at a time. They’re still in the street, just not in a giant pile. If there were ashtrays a few might actually make it into the trash bin now and then.
My wife and I started watching Clarkson's Farm recently and are thoroughly enjoying it. You're right about the landscapes--it's beauty in every direction, except I wish Kaleb hadn't gotten that perm. It just don't fit.
I have Norman Irish, which I didn’t even know was a thing until the advent of genetic testing. And German, some sort of Westphalian mix with possibly a touch of Rhineland Jew. But it’s the Anglo-Saxon that won out.
Young men like Kaleb making ludicrous aesthetic choices in their 20s, even if they are in all other ways level-headed and competent. is an absolutely authentic take.
I find British PM Kier Starmer a very frightening individual. Well, not an individual really....he is more like a manifestation of a certain evil.
But the Brits did vote him in, in a landslide.
Approximately 4 million votes went to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party, whereas the bulk of the remainder went to Starmer and the Labour Party.
It was meant to be giving the finger to the Tory/Conservative Party that had failed the country for years prior, but the average Brit did not see the strategy at play. That you form a Uni-party between the two major contending parties, and one side of the Uni-party works to alienate and to drive the unthinking sort of voters into the arms of the other side of the Uni-party. Either way, the Uni-party wins. Unless the voters open their minds and get off that Uni-party treadmill.
But in the general election of 2024, the Brits did not. Most of them, anyway.
I read the British press regularly, and have done so for a long time. After 2015, commenters used to snidely ridicule Canada and Canadians for having "stupidly" voted in Troodo. They usually ended their comments saying that Canadians got what they deserved for voting that way, And then....nearly the entire British voting population gleefully went to the voting booths last July 4 to vote in someone worse than Troodo.
I just want to tell them that I am out here chuckling this time around. Guess their brains failed them. Just like those Canadian voters they used to love to mock.
The blog The Conservative Woman (TCW) is a great place to see what’s going on there. The comments are quintessentially British. An education in itself. Good info every day including takes on what’s happening here in the USA. Their crackdown on free speech is really scary.
Yes, thanks. I had read TCW under editor Kathy G. for many years. I fundraised for them too. Until Kathy G. banned me for knowing more than she did about what was going on. I have a cross-disciplinary background in the field of Totalitarianism. Kathy wanted to be the big cheese. No one else. Sometimes I ask myself whether she wears the "mask of goodness" in order to get personal validation. Occasionally that mask falls off.
The TCW writers are unaware of this. They are generally honest and decent and well-informed themselves.
I still read some of the articles. but she banned me from posting. After I alerted her that I was being recruited on her site for a Nudge Unit. Just as well. Kathy G. can do the work to find her own information. I do not offer her freebies any longer, in order for Kathy G. to claim the credit. Which is what she usually did.
I went to a 3 day event at Joel Salatin’s farm a few years ago to learn about his farming methods. He said that much of his produce goes to high end DC restaurants to feed the political class that creates the laws and enables the bureaucrats that hassle him and throttle his creativity. I suspect the same thing is happening in Britain, the king and his fellow scum source their food from the very farmers they want to put out of business. Of course they want only the best for themselves and fake meat and gmo for us.
King Charles (and his son William) are globalists; Charles is just waiting to take his place as world emperor, if he can manage it. It has been reported in the British press for many years that Charles and Klaus Schwab are good friends. This is no secret. Now the daughters of Prince Andrew are trying to make their mark by becoming the royal link to the Arab world.
Which makes me ask why Donald Trump is usually smitten with the British royal family. Is he not aware that they are on the enemy side, as far as the Deep State goes?
trump IS NOT SMITTEN WITH THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY. HE WILL HAVE THEM EATING OUT OF HIS HAND SHSORTLY.... HE IS NOT EVEN IN THE CHAIR YET, PLEASE GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO SHOW HOW HE DEALS WITH ORDINARY WORLD LEADERS WHO TRULY BELIEVE THEY HAVE ATOYAL BLUE BLOOD. USA LOVES AMERICAN AND BRITISH FARMERS!!!! EATING WELL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US!
Gayle, I just watched a clip where Trump was quite proud of his earlier encounters with the British Royal family, Maybe he believes they represent his maternal Scottish side. He does not seem to realize that they are not on the side the people of Britain.
I am a Trump supporter, though I am not American. That was not a criticism of Trump, but a hope that he begins to see through this. He is the great hope.
I’m now going to start watching this show! I’ve seen it on Prime, but thought it might too boring. Thank you for sharing this with the world! Farmed unite!!
It is designed that way. The British BBC is thoroughly infiltrated, and has been for many years now. David Attenborough works for the globalists and their narratives.
One of my favourite bits was when Clarkson decided to harvest his blackberries that were scrambling along an old stone wall. He rented this picker contraption and immediately got it stuck, then spent hours remediating. He tried to make jam but didn't follow the sanitation and labelling regs. On and on it goes. Three steps ahead, two steps back.
The entire series makes you want to scream into the void because it is absolutely true. The point is clearly driven home that regulations, in most cases, are abused and turned into weapons of control and means of exclusion. Definitely worth the watch.
Sometimes it's better to laugh than cry. That's what memes are all about.
Speaking of Britain, they are currently facing a worse crisis than the United States, in terms of their countries and culture being crushed. That small island has hundreds or more illegal immigrants daily, coming in small boats across the Channel, and has for years. Almost all fit military-aged young men from third world countries. Who are then put up in hotels or specially built shelters by the authorities and given their food money. To accumulate further funds they turn to crime.
A Trojan Horse invasion, of course. The same lockstep destruction-tactic being used across the West.
Yes, I follow the goings-on in Ireland. Bad news there. But this strategy to crush settled populations in the West is being used all over. It is now standard.
In Canada, the latest is that the authorities are building a shelter for young male illegal immigrants on the edge of a "park and ride" in one of the most posh suburbs of Ottawa, the capital city. The Liberal-voting residents have finally had a fire lit underneath them. They all expect car thefts and break-ins to rise to extraordinary degrees when they leave their cars parked in that area in order take the public buses into their downtown jobs. And the illegal immigrants are likely to take over the nearby city library and senior's centre. Maybe take over their daughters.
Uh-oh.....the WOKE are finally beginning to get it.
I visited my daughter on Long Island recently. We drove up to Massachusetts but north of manhattan noticed several streets with massive temporary tent like buildings. Each a block big. Outside people milled around, sitting on curbs etc. I asked. Those are the illegal immigrant housing areas. Only she didn’t use the word illegal, being the lefty she is. Wow.
Happening in areas across North America. Most unfortunate.
Pierre Troodo, PM of Canada from the late 60s to the early 80s, purposely began this with his "multiculturalism" scam. He was a Communist and Eugenicist, a major player in the Club of Rome.
Sickening. My sister has lived in Ireland since 1974. An avowed lefty, and almost a shut in in a small village, she is still captured by The Guardian and the rest of them.
My other sister in USA has divided us for thanksgiving just like that vicious Bitch Joy Reid told them too. So she and most of her family will not be joining us. This sister disowned me about the vax too but actually apologized 9 months later. But her animosity about even this still pops out now and then. She is the most TDS person I know. I generally stay away now.
💔💔💔 for every family that has sipped from the Poisoned Chalice...broken into pieces over manipulated media and lies that they so eagerly accepted as Truth. It boggles my mind to think about the yawning chasm between me and the rest of my family--thankfully I live in Kalifornistan vand they are up in my home state of Washington, so I don't have to deal with them on a regular basis. But we're heading N to go up for a visit and I can't wait to see if anyone's going to want to get together with that nasty Trump-supporting Aunt Susan...and we get to stay with my 91 yr old mum who hates Trump with a white-hot intensity! Gonna be LOADS of FUN!!! 🙄🙄🙄
They have gone through what is colloquially known as the "mind-snap" . They descend into a Cluster-B Disorder when their Pre-frontal Cortex deactivates and they are left living out of the ancient Reptile Brain.
You won't find many people who can tell you that. I have been working on this for years.
Thanks for the recommendation, Yuri! My family and I struggle to find anything to watch and we're currently on, like, our third trip through Frazier. My husband and I both grew up rural, and both our families kept a few cows, chickens, goats, etc. I was even allowed a backyard horse! My daughter (23) had none of these luxuries because we've lived in a city since before she was born. I miss those days, and am really looking forward to watching this.
Thanks for publicizing this show Yuri; I love it too. My guess would be the regular farmers don't f*&% things up as badly or as routinely as Clarkson does (some of it's gotta be on purpose for comic effect) so they make more money before being raped by the gov't.
It reminded me of when I graduated from Cal and became a carpenter's apprentice cuz I hated desk work. I was almost as useless as Clarkson, but I quickly learned to shut up and pay attention to the barely HS educated professors who could build a house in a day.
If you look hard enough, the show is spectacular for its illustration of the material roots (!) of western civilization: democracy, religion, work ethic, innovation, stoicism, etc. It's like a VDH book but way funnier.
Not to be outdone, the English bureaucracy is working diligently to ensure the advent of their very own version of Donald J Trump…and the sooner the better!
Who is that going to be? They certainly need it, but no one has appeared yet. There is Nigel Farage making slow inroads. Although that is going to have to speed up.
Great post Yuri. I've been watching this show since it started. Being a gear head, I've been a fan of Clarkson for a long time. Clarkson's Farm speaks to those of us, particularly us GenX'ers, who just want to be left alone and don't need the government to be our surrogate parents. The amount of ridiculousness that the government imposes on the farmers is outrageous and I agree with the pro-human localism. This is why I choose to go to my local farmer's market and stands whenever possible rather than the big grocery stores. I guess it all makes sense when we keep in mind that *WE* are the carbon they want to reduce.
Eugenicism is the motivation behind the modern death culture of your neighbour to the north, Canada. Unlimited abortion and the MAID state-assisted suicide (not for the terminally ill only). Found in good pathocracies everywhere.
Saving it, as well as all other farms in the "West", is the easiest thing in the world.
Just chase the farmer-hating Commies out of the Establishment, start telling the city kids the harsh truth: that the food does NOT actually origniate in the supermarket, as their idiot "liberal/leftist" parents believe in their gated communities, and farmers will thrive, and food will be both affordable and abundant.
I’m a bit biased as I’m an avid gardener. But to my mind Clarkson’s might be the finest program I’ve ever watched. I laughed. I cried. I learned. I became outraged.
My thoughts EXACTLY!! My husband has planted more fruit trees than I can count and enjoys toiling in the soil. We absolutely LOVED the entire Clarkson Farm series .
Indeed.
Great piece, Yuri. The best truth: "All humans want to thrive while protecting the environment. This should not be political issue. Everyone wants clean water, abundant healthy food, and access to nature."
I grew up in the 70's and 80's when folks dropped their automobile ash trays in the streets. We all decided to clean our areas up and it happened; without government subsidy. Common sense.
Apparently that’s why the left hates RFKjr. Go figure.
I’m not sure that this has improved at all. Cars don’t have ashtrays anymore so people just toss them out one at a time. They’re still in the street, just not in a giant pile. If there were ashtrays a few might actually make it into the trash bin now and then.
My wife and I started watching Clarkson's Farm recently and are thoroughly enjoying it. You're right about the landscapes--it's beauty in every direction, except I wish Kaleb hadn't gotten that perm. It just don't fit.
Kaleb is a national treasure, but he is still a zoomer who wants to try the latest styles ;)
He looks to me like a classic Anglo Saxon you might have seen in the same area back in the year 400 AD.
Kind of like me except my ancestors were from Suffolk and my hair is naturally wavy and I don’t know anything about farming.
Much the same as me, though I have Celts in the mix too.
I have Norman Irish, which I didn’t even know was a thing until the advent of genetic testing. And German, some sort of Westphalian mix with possibly a touch of Rhineland Jew. But it’s the Anglo-Saxon that won out.
The Anglo Saxons were originally a Germanic people.
As were the Normans. The further back you go, the more Germanic I get. But culturally that all got lost here in America.
lol
Young men like Kaleb making ludicrous aesthetic choices in their 20s, even if they are in all other ways level-headed and competent. is an absolutely authentic take.
I love every look of Caleb we see.
Don’t worry. It doesn’t last that long. He’s dedicated to changing it up every so often. 😀
Do you think kids will like it? We've watched the British baking shows (not sure what they're called) and we all loved it.
I find British PM Kier Starmer a very frightening individual. Well, not an individual really....he is more like a manifestation of a certain evil.

I don’t know much about her. I do enjoy most articles and especially the comments.
I still read some of the articles. but she banned me from posting. After I alerted her that I was being recruited on her site for a Nudge Unit. Just as well.

What does it take to get the Brits to awaken?
Which makes me ask why Donald Trump is usually smitten with the British royal family. Is he not aware that they are on the enemy side, as far as the Deep State goes?
He is generally more aware than that.

You will not regret it. I look forward to season 4 and I’m going through it all again.
I really hate how they’ve ruined nature documentaries.
I used to love getting a straightforward look at interesting geography and wildlife. Now, it’s all just a backdrop to their shaming and lecturing.
Yup. Don’t watch much either. Sick of being shamed.
It is designed that way. The British BBC is thoroughly infiltrated, and has been for many years now. David Attenborough works for the globalists and their narratives.
And now you will begin watching old episodes of Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond and May. It’s fun to see the old 90s cars again.
I've never been able to get over his trip to Colombia!
Was that the TG show or one of Amazon specials? I can’t recall…
Was never on mine! There are lots of other beautiful countries to visit where the likelihood of my kidnapping is near zero.
Possibly so. Columbia is definitely off my bucket list!
Excellent review. Thank-you!

Ireland the same. They bussed in more illegal immigrants than the population of one entire village. Filled the only hotel. Trouble began.

If and when I look at the Guardian, it is just to survey what the WOKE enemy is thinking.
Sorry to hear about your sister. This mind-virus is splitting families.
My other sister in USA has divided us for thanksgiving just like that vicious Bitch Joy Reid told them too. So she and most of her family will not be joining us.

That's a cracking good article - keep it up!

Not exactly easy to chase out the Commies, though.
Thoughts on how to do it?
