Jeremy Clarkson has been refused permission to sell food he grew himself, twice. In the same window, central government overruled a Lincolnshire council to put solar panels across 1,214 hectares of grazing land, an area the size of Heathrow.
Run the two columns side by side, because the pattern is the whole story.
He asked to open a restaurant in his own lambing shed. Refused.
He asked for a car park for the people already blocking the lane. Refused.
He asked to sell food produced more than sixteen miles away. Capped at sixteen.
He asked for a barn to store his own harvest, so he would not have to sell at whatever price August offered. Full application required.
He asked about the restaurant again. Enforcement notice, and six weeks judged ample to put the building back as it was.
Now the other column.
Had he covered those same fields in solar panels, the council could have refused and been overruled from Whitehall, as Lincolnshire was in October 2025.
Had he grown maize to feed an anaerobic digester, nobody would have written to anybody.
Had he taken £532 a hectare from Defra to grow a legume fallow, he would have been paid to leave a crop standing that may not be harvested, grazed or sold. Defra cut that rate this year and gave the reason in writing: it had become attractive enough to take land out of food production.
Had he sold the lot to a data centre, a battery park or a Chinese pig unit, all four of which he listed in his column last week, the paperwork would have moved considerably faster than a farm shop's.
There is your planning system. Every use of English farmland is easier to permit than farming.
Two hundred of his acres grew nothing at all this year, and the queue of people who want that ground for something other than food is already forming.
He is not being stopped from developing the countryside. He is being stopped from feeding it.
I reposted this BRILLIANT video the other day but it did not get much traction.
This lovely lady EXPOSES newly installed Bloomberg Mayor of Manchester, Bev Craig, as PROTECTING GROOMING GANGS!
THIS VIDEO should be EVERYWHERE!
I would LOVE to buy this brave lady MANY drinks.
If anyone knows who she is or her channel name, please let me know, so I can credit her awesome work.
A Minister for Sentencing standing in front of the nation to explain why it’s "wrong" to stop the early release of thugs who dragged a police officer to his death. An officer whose corpse was so disfigured afterwards that it was assumed to be an animal carcass. Labour is wrong.
PALESTINIAN TERRORIST: "The minute I get the mission inside Israel, even if it is in a house with children, I will blow myself up. I will not regret it even if it is a nursery full of kids."
Does anyone believe you can make peace with these savages?
Well the ginger growler, Tax evading Angela Rayner did promise that every community will take their “fair share” of "ILLEGAL" migrants… whether they like it or not.
Now Labour’s quietly dumping hundreds into picturesque English villages. Locals only find out when an Afghan starts harassing schoolgirls at the gate.
This isn’t “fairness.”
It’s forced demographic change by a government that treats British towns like dumping grounds and parents’ concerns like bigotry.
Your kids. Your streets. Your communities.
Sold out.
Homeless people in the UK: 410,000.
Foreign citizens on UK benefits: 3.4 million.
Why spend even a £1 on luxury hotels and buffets for illegal migrants while your own people are homeless?
None of them migrants in hotels are being deported. They are all getting asylum and quietly being moved into FREE homes around the country. @itvnews@BBCNews@SkyNews know this is happening but keep it from the public. @ShabanaMahmood disgrace. https://t.co/dLRY0UeMqy
Mohammed Fahim Kashmiri attempted to sexually abuse a 13-year-old white British girl. Caught by British patriots. He lives in a migrant hotel.
He said “Alhamdulillah, please give me one chance” and staged a mini heart attack to manipulate.
Leicester Crown Court released him on a community order and said Britain must protect Mohammed because Pakistan is not safe for him.
I asked Nick Shirley why so many military aged muslim men are storming the shores of the West.
His answer stunned me...
"They want Islam to be EVERYWHERE. That's why they're coming to our countries. There is no assimilation, they don’t learn their language. This has been happening for years and years in Europe."
"This is a Religious war."
@nickshirleyy describes only militant, violent young muslim men crossing illegally into Spain. No women or children...
"It was just men from 21 years old to 28 years old and there were children they left at the border."
"When asked where the women were, they said: 'In Islam our women stay at the house'
"It doesn't make sense to abandon your wife and kids and go to another country"
Unless...
Same situation in England.
Third-world invaders dumping their garbage all over the roadside like this country is their personal landfill.
There are hundreds of videos of this nonsense. Hundreds!
The second the West finally wakes the hell up and accepts that most of these people have zero interest in integrating is the second we can start electing leaders who refuse to let our nations get turned into complete shitholes.
We can’t continue like this!
A woman in her 30s has reported being raped in the early hours of Sunday morning at Curriers Lane in Ipswich by FIVE men, aged 27, 31, 35, 44 and 49.
They were arrested yesterday but have now been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
No other details. Shocker.
What a shit show! The Red Cross who left Israeli hostages starving and dying in tunnels rush to the aid of the invaders of Cueta! 🇪🇸You are bastards! I will never ever give you a penny.
On This Day — August 5, 1973
Two Palestinian Black September terrorists walked into the transit lounge of Athens’ Hellinikon Airport & opened fire with submachine guns and grenades.
They came to murder civilian passengers bound for Israel.
They hit the wrong line.
Instead of the Tel Aviv flight, they attacked travelers waiting for a TWA plane to New York. In less than two minutes, the lounge was filled with blood, shattered glass, and screaming. Three people were killed on the spot, and another two died later of their wounds. 55 others were injured.
They seized 35 hostages, held them for more than two hours, and then surrendered.
Both terrorists were in their early 20s and were members of same organization that had massacred 11 Israeli athletes in Munich the year before. Their orders were to attack anyone heading to Israel.
They got the wrong passengers.
They still celebrated the attack as a success.
Just another bloody entry in the long ledger of Palestinian terrorism aimed at random travelers whose only “crime” was standing near a flight connected, even incorrectly, to the Jewish state.
Another historic temple was lit on fire in Japan today. This is Kōdaiji Temple in Kyoto, founded in 1606.
Why is it that churches and temples keep burning but not mosques?
