A little shop, and the lambing barn, which can be used for lambing in the spring and as a place for people to sit in the summer while they have food and a glass of our own beer from the mobile van." "As a result of this, I've had to sell most of the cows I bought. So I decided that to make a profit, the beef should be cooked and served in a restaurant, which I'd create by converting our lambing barn.

The former Top Gear sparked widespread backlash after going into detail about his hatred for the Duchess of Sussex.

"All the terrible things that are happening in the world and people are going to be so hard up this Christmas and they’re still worrying about writing something awful about Meghan. To take time out of your day to write what Clarkson wrote within days of her telling the world how appalling the impact is so many shades of cruel. Last month, Caroline's mum Christine criticised Clarkson for his comments about Meghan in the lead up to Christmas, claiming that people hadn't learnt from her daughter's death nearly three years ago. You know I talk about Caroline Flack in the book as well." Clarkson acknowledged the controversy in a tweet last month, saying he was "horrified" to have caused "so much hurt". And if living in a new country, minding our own business during lockdown, not saying anything, not doing anything that would affect the British media at all, that every single day there’s an attack, well then, the assumption of it going away or moving on isn’t the case. The column, in which Clarkson claimed that "everyone who's my age thinks the same way" as he does about Meghan, became the Independent Press Standards Organisation's most complained-about article. The Duke branded the comments made by Clarkson as 'cruel', claiming that the since-removed column encourages people around the world to believe it is an acceptable way to treat women. In the interview, Harry touched on the accountability of the British press. "To use my stepmother's words recently as well, there is a global pandemic of violent – violence against women. A coroner ruled that former Claiming that he is not at war with the press, Harry said of the media in last night's interview: "I made peace with it, I was willing to let a lot of it go back in 2020 when we left the country.

In the ITV interview, Harry commented on the column written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson, and noted its potential impact.

This is [a series that aims to challenge](https://www.stylist.co.uk/series/a-fearless-future-violence-against-women-girls) the attitudes that underpin, encourage and tolerate male violence against women and girls in our society; attitudes that were exemplified in the Clarkson column. “It’s no longer a case of me asking for accountability, but at this point, the world is asking for accountability,” he said. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the statement was a “PR stunt” and that The Sun hadn’t reached out to Meghan. A Fearless Future is about understanding that laws can only go so far in protecting women – we need a full overhaul of our misogynistic culture. The hate Meghan receives isn’t just an attempt to intimidate her, but to make us all afraid. The Clarkson column was an attack on Meghan Markle, but also yet another shot fired in the onslaught against all women. This is the normalisation of fantasising about violence against women in action. After more than 20,000 complaints, The Sun removed Clarkson’s article and issued an apology, stating: “In last Saturday’s Sun, Jeremy Clarkson wrote a comment article about the Duchess of Sussex. But was that apology taking true accountability for the impact of these words? A woman is killed. The article has been removed from our website and archives.” A woman is killed by a member of the police.

"People tell him no, but he just finds his own way to do things. Remedial works ordered by the council would seriously affect the business and its employees, it was claimed. He makes money wherever he can, and he just seems to fly by the seat of his pants. He found another barn for his venture and notified the council of the restaurant opening. One said: "It is about time the council stood up to Jeremy Clarkson and his behaviour. The former Top Gear presenter was ordered by West Oxfordshire District Council to shut a pizza café he had been running at his Chadlington farm shop last year over claims it breached planning laws and was having a 'significant impact' on the community.

The former Top Gear host was met with a widespread backlash over the article, for which The Sun eventually issued an apology.

Broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson has announced the closure of his Diddly Squat Restaurant after falling foul of the local council.

THE Duke of Sussex has said Jeremy Clarkson's 'cruel' article in The Sun about his wife Meghan Markle is inciting violence.

Former Top Gear host turned Cotswolds farmer Jeremy Clarkson has closed his controversial restaurant following a lengthy planning dispute.

In his letter, Clarkson also said he has sold most of the cows he planned to sell as meat in the restaurant. We are just a small village and Diddly Squat Farm is in the wrong place. Michael Benson, of Chadlington, said: “It is a win for the community. Clarkson fans also flock to his farm shop. Neighbour Lucy Walker added: “We have been plagued with traffic since he arrived. She wrote to the district council on behalf of “quietly supportive local residents” to say he has “used his celebrity status to highlight the difficulties of the farming community”.

Clarkson is said to have dropped his bid to keep his farm restaurant open despite protests from locals and an enforcement notice from council officials.

That has to be addressed, and soon.’ He added: ‘It’s nearly impossible to make money from farming these days and in recent years farmers have relied on government grants to keep going. Clarkson opened the restaurant last July despite protests from local residents, but it was initially closed following an enforcement order from council officials.

Jeremy Clarkson has said he no longer wishes to open a restaurant on the grounds of his Oxfordshire farm Diddly Squat.

The 40-cover Diddly Squat farm restaurant was housed within a small barn in the middle of a barley field, with the majority of its tables outside. “As a result of this, I've had to sell most of the cows I bought. So I decided that to make a profit, the beef should be cooked and served in a restaurant, which I'd create by converting our lambing barn.
