More evidence that Clarkson is a tosser, as if any was needed.
This modest tax increase is being treated hysterically by rich conservatives. Makes me annoyed, because it limits the possibility of a real redistributive tax system when the Labour government is being treated as extreme.
Hysterical rambling by selfish people who can’t bear the thought of pulling their weight in society a bit more because they already think they’re gods gift to the economy by paying a few people minimum wage to make themselves even richer.
He can ban me as well if he likes- just while he’s on this kick of banning people from visiting somewhere they would never have gone to anyway
Clarkson is quite funny and I would enjoy having a beer with him.
However he has never had a good political opinion. He’s like my dad really, spaffing utter bollocks about what ever right wing position he has heard in the sun this week.
I hate tax too. But I don’t pretend labour aren’t entitled to enact a higher tax regime than the tories after 15 years of failure
Is this the classic enraged yet impotent banning of a thing that never actually happens from Jeremy.
It’s his pub and he has a right to refuse service if he chooses. don’t see an issue here.
FUCK! Was gonna go for a pint there with Stella Creasey this afternoon now we gotta figure something else out
Would a Labour MP knowingly go into a pub owned by Jeremy Clarkson anyway?
I guess they won’t miss a 30 min queue for a pint at Clarkson’s wannabe theme park.
I have my doubts whether any labour MPs he is pissed at drink in his pub
They all knew this was coming. It’s WASPI women all over again.
COVID rate relief was always going to come to an end. The last business rate revaluation was done during COVID, so everyone knew it was artificially low.
You can’t be surprised that your rates go up after a COVID era discount ends and revaluation is done.
People who think Clarkson is standing up for the working class are no doubt as gullible as though who think Farage is a man of the people
Imagine the utter fume in the comments if this was banning whoever was a Reform MP this week. It would be antidemocratic, disgraceful attack on free speech, end of the world type stuff.
This is just headline chasing, there aren’t any Labour MPs for miles around, I doubt people from Swindon are going to his pub, and would he really recognise all of them anyway?
There’s a lot of people in here calling Clarkson names.. but you’re completely missing the point. Yes *he* has the money to keep it going, but most don’t.
Prices and taxes keep rising, putting these places out of business.
My ex took over a pub with her partner just before Covid. They survived Covid, revamped the whole place, got a good business going.
NI increases come in, minimum wage increased and the business relief rate changed earlier this year.
If it was a minimum wage increase alone, it would have been ok. But not all three.
Pub closed 2 months later, 25 people out of work, loss of revenue for the government. Loss of income for 25 people.
for those who agree with Clarkson, please answer where should the government raise revenue from instead?
The reason we need to raise revenue is complicated but let’s just state the basic facts, for 14 years conservatives ran on an economic principle of austerity. For 14 years government spending increased. We also decided to hamstring our economy due to brexit and then had a global shock via covid.
people like Clarkson are partly to blame for 14 years of Tories with his countless telegraph articles, and his prime shows have massively benefitted from tax incentives and write offs!
With the above in mind what is your solution or alternative?
Cash pubs make for great money laundering though
Funny how when the pubs became less popular after the smoking ban lots of Turkish hairdressers nail salons and vape shops opener up
Is clarkson trying to be the man down the pub just like farage. Or is he just another whinging publican who constantly complains about costs. How many mp’s went into his pub anyway. Nobody cares what you think Jeremy . Well outside your own head
Are there any Labour MPs in Oxfordshire? Is that like banning penguins from the North Pole?
so he’s just banned 404 people from entering his pub. anyway…
This guy is such a performative man child honestly. I love his shows, I love his entertainment. But his politics are actually rage bait.
He is more publicity hungry than Katie Price.
Maybe they should do a Xmas special.
Feel free to suggest titles
This is the same guy who bragged about buying a farm to avoid taxes. He isn’t loosing any business with this promo stunt. I don’t think there is a single MP who would go into his pub anyways.
I thought these people hated performative politics. Once again every accusation is a confession.
Remember when Clarkson started protesting because the government was closing the loop hole he used to avoid paying his taxes?
It seems that whenever he’s asked to pay his fair share he has a hissy fit.
