farming has caused more damage to nature in the UK than all industry . And the rich landowners need to be taxed more more and more. Clarkson is a horrible oaf as well.

No, no & thrice no.

Most unusually, after an hour of farmers making their case on your show, I found myself LESS sympathetic than before. Not a single argument made that didn't seem to apply to any family business, regardless of industry

Thé farmers, yes. The rich tax avoiding landowners like Clarkson, Dyson and Rothermere ? No. Pay your taxes.
