This is brilliant. We need to call out the extensive, over-burdening, bureaucratic and business dampening regulations that hamper over 99% of UK registered businesses (99% of registered companies in 2022 were SMEs). The government talks the talk on helping business but does nothing to help them grow (pun intended!).

His genius is almost frightening

Stubbornness, grey areas and a limited-but-flexible budget. Claxon was born for this.

Itâs absolutely disgusting how the local town council pitted against Clarkson, but the Genius himself still triumphed at the end, as he should đđđ Major kudos to you Jezza for the victory and for shining a light on the struggles of farmers

Sometime you have to aks if these councils are there for the community or if they are out to destroy them, the way they turned down absolutely everything he tried to do was just ridiculous. They even denied him building a farm-road to the restaurant if I remember right.

Love this, reminds me of a time when i used to go to a rugby club when the owner decided to reduce his investment and pull out which resulted in the club not being able to access the clubhouse on matchday to sell food and drink. The volunteers decided to make and sell it themselves but because we had no licence to sell alcohol i suggested that they put a sign up telling punters that if they donated ÂŁ3 or so to club funds then they could have a can of beer for doing it, thankfully the local council never found out

This reminds me of early ticket scalping online. "You're bidding on this Flower Pot - inside the pot are 2 FREE tickets for Pearl Jam" $300

The Councils are full of egos and people who doñ't want change. I live in one of those communities. Its a daily fight to try and stay in the 21st century and help small business prosper.

Charlie is the man. Dude knows everything about everything đ

Control, there are people who just love to be in control, to prevent you from being happy.

Clarkson has never failed to put a smile on my dial. He's just two years my senior, so I understand what he's on about.

Proud of a fellow Alan.

The council was focussed on an elderly conservative view which is you don't need it because we don't. But as they say decisions are made by those who show up.

If you dig and look hard enough you can find holes in Authoritarian strangleholds on Freedom. Great Job Farmers!
-
But, but.. I thought Brexit was about getting rid of all these silly regulations affecting local businesses !
-
Amazing how much government permission one needs to operate a business in "free" countries.
-
What's making this even worse is many of these councils are not inhabited by rich folk moving out to the country who have no idea what countryside life is like.

Reminds me of an episode of the Drew Carey show where Drew sold maps that included a free bottle of beer.

3:30 I expect them to pull some âship of Theseusâ bullshit here. âOh well you repaired it, so itâs not technically the same 100 year old structureâ
