Wanted to watch it for 2 main reasons:
-
I enjoyed the first season and wanted to see if second season was as good tdlr: it is
-
The fact there was articles coming out Wednesday/Thursdays about him being investigated for the Markle article made me suspicious they might be trying to start a boycott like Hogwarts Legacy. Wanted to see if there's any reason the left might not want the public to watch it.
Spolier if you want to watch it first from here, skip to the tldr as last line:
It's as funny, informative and interesting as the first season but HEAVILY showed how government interference has brankrupted farmers and is strangling farmers attempts to diversify their income.
The EU essentially had subsidised farmers heavily, with Brexit happening that ends in the UK. Not just that but the EU farmers still have the subsidiary so they can lower the cost of their produce like pigs and undercut UK farmers in price.
The government has been wishy-washy on cowering this (as who cares about food security when Ukraine needs to be funded) so farmers need to look to other methods to balance the books as supermarkets undercut them so Clarkson decides to make a restaurant to sell his and other farmers produce there at a better rate.
The council doesn't just refuses planning permission on his land, but then start pulling every restriction they can to hurt him (even putting cones all along a country road outside his shop). He gets round this with loopholes by using an old barn instead for his restaurant and building it 2 days after they tell the council about it.
He also illustrates the horrible handling of TB with badgers and Cows and of the amount of redtape that holds farmers back.
TLDR: Season 2 illustrates the inadequacies, inefficiencies and pettiness of government that stops farmers earning a livable income from their produce alone including stopping diversification efforts. Not good having this widely viewed if you're trying to take farmer's land from them...
I think this is honestly the way forward. At least where I live out in farm country in the US (which, admittedly, is less hostile to its farmers than The UK/Europe), a ton of ranches in my area have started setting up their own brick and mortar stores, as well as websites. And through them they will sell their own meat directly, usually at a lower cost than stories since you are buying ranch direct. I have even seen some ranches teaming up to either buy or build their own slaughterhouses and meat packing plants to start moving the needle on meat prices.
Of course, this only works in states that both have a more friendly attitude toward their citizens, and in states that actually have the ranchers to do this sort of stuff. So if the WEF officially told everyone "Eat ze bugs. This is a threat", and states like mine said "Lol. Lmao even." and kept doing their thing, I would still have meat. Meanwhile, California would probably have meat runners the same way there were whiskey runners in Prohibition.
He actually went even further as he bought a distillery and has his own beer now!
But yeah farm shops/restaurants and direct selling may be the best way to go but I know in the states they've tried attacking that too since the government tried legal action against an Amish farmer direct selling to customers for not using chemicals that they recommend in his farming.
To be fair, that was just as much an aspect of living in a state that is pozzed (Pennsylvania) rather than any sort of initiative against farmers. Because if you tried to do something like that here in Kansas, the Farm Bureau would be busting down the governors door and telling them that they just signed the death warrant on their political career in the state. It even parallels since there is a sizable Amish community in the state as well.
But then, agriculture and ranching are some of the largest forces in the state, so it makes sense that any attempt to curtail them around here would be met with a swift kick to the jaw. The same can not be said in plays like PA or CA.
Hopefully that remains true but 'give them an inch, they take a mile' and so even though these things happen in blue hellholes, unless you line the border with barbed wire, landmines and armed guards (politically or non politically, whichever is more effective) they'll try to creep it into other states.
