Clarkson Strikes Back on Twitter
Posted by H_K-R@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 102 comments
Clarkson strikes back against the “Clarkson’s Farm” Twitter (X if you’re a moron) Account that isn’t official in anyway shape or form after a post feeding the right-wing loons who leech within Twitter. This particular post has now been deleted by the impersonators. (They also block anything or anyone who calls them out in doing so)
Not sure why Clarkson hasn’t had this account taken down as it’s becoming increasingly damaging to the actual show, Clarkson himself, and Diddly Squat with all of its total and utter bollocks, mostly Ai generated, slop and nonsense.

All a blue tick means is they paid money. A gold tick would mean it is affiliated.
ProfessionalTruck976@reddit
I seem to recall that before Twitter went full free speech that blue tick used to mean that the account was who it claims to be and Twitter made sure of that.
Like I don't give what your position on moderation is, that change was fucking stupid and it would overnight improve the site a lot if it got reverted.
DrFriedGold@reddit
Yes, that's all it meant. But it also meant that Twitter could take verified status away and put you in the naughty corner if you hurt someone's feelies.
Floppie7th@reddit
Yep - blue checks used to be actually useful. Now the only thing they prove is you threw money at Twitter.
Shout out to Elmo. The guy's a fucking national embarrassment.
scuderia91@reddit
This is why the tick system is pointless now. Jeremy himself doesn’t have a gold tick
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
You only get a gold tick if you’re a business or organisation
scuderia91@reddit
Exactly, so the system is pointless now because there’s no way to use the ticks to distinguish a paid fan account or the real person
mikki1time@reddit
You can always just click on the profile. It tells you a lot, for example I know you have a fetish for skinny white girls
scuderia91@reddit
So you agree, the ticks are now pointless if you have you go to someone’s profile which most people aren’t going to do when they’re used to the ticks meaning they can trust it’s an official account
mikki1time@reddit
Yea I guess it does add an extra step
scuderia91@reddit
Exactly, which clearly people aren’t doing cause that clarksons farm account keeps getting retweeted when they say controversial stuff that Jeremy then gets the blame for.
mikki1time@reddit
But at the end of the day it’s a Twitter, you shouldn’t believe anything on there
GayRacoon69@reddit
The fact that you shouldn't doesn't mean people don't
scuderia91@reddit
Agreed, but maybe don’t change the verification badge to just mean someone’s paid for an account and it’s not an issue.
advancedchicken@reddit
And if you pay for that too, as a business
SnooHobbies5691@reddit
what is this about?
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
Clarkson’s Farm doesn’t have an official Twitter account, so this one posts content in order to look semi professional and then slides in a lot of complete and utter bobbins in the middle. Such as taking current political news such as the whole flag problem at the moment in order to feed people who have no ability to think for themselves in order to split political opinions and raise tensions, drum up engagement, and thus earn a tiny profit, all whilst simultaneously spoiling a brand they have nothing to do with.
SnooHobbies5691@reddit
oh ok, I didn't know what this flag problem is
StriKyleder@reddit
English people who are upset with mass illegal immigration are now displaying their own flag which offends the illegals in their country.
Marmite-Badgers-Mum@reddit
No one's offended by the flags. The only people offended are those putting shitty Chinese flags up on other people's property, and then crying they're victims when it's inevitably removed.
StriKyleder@reddit
Government certainly seems offended.
Marmite-Badgers-Mum@reddit
The party leader literally said he was "very encouraging of flags".
Everyone wants to be a victim these days.
thecrius@reddit
Sit down bud, you are embarrassing.
StriKyleder@reddit
How was I factually wrong?
PhantomMenaceUK@reddit
There isn’t mass illegal immigration and nobody is upset at the flag itself
StriKyleder@reddit
It's September 1st not April 1st.
PhantomMenaceUK@reddit
That’s probably got something to do with me not accepting jokes like you. I envy your ability to be so confident despite the complete and utter stupidity
StriKyleder@reddit
My feelies
PhantomMenaceUK@reddit
They’re clearly more important to you than facts
StriKyleder@reddit
Thank you, Ben.
georgepearl_04@reddit
People are protesting legal migrants with it lmao.
iHoller913@reddit
My feed has been filled with gang rape stories from the uk this week. Shit that’s being discussed in parliament and will make your stomach churn. Can’t believe yall are so fucked
SpeedflyChris@reddit
It's actually fine here, and none of that is in the news right now. Your feed is not an accurate picture.
no_cigar_tx@reddit
What’s the issue with this flag?
Optimaximal@reddit
English nationalists are hanging them up all around the country and painting it onto anything white, public or private, effectively vandalising stuff.
If you confront them as they do it, they film you and threaten to beat you up.
unmikewizowski@reddit
Yeah but why did you get downvoted?
Optimaximal@reddit
Who knows? It's Reddit, I try not to pay attention to what others think.
SnooHobbies5691@reddit
just don't paint on other people's property. Problem solved
HIP13044b@reddit
Can someone inform the Welsh? Theyre painting English flags on roundabouts too. I thought they didnt like us?
... they don't still?
Oooooh so its really about intimidating migrants had has nothing to do with "NaTiOnAl PrIdE"
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
Try saying that to people who thought Brexit was a good idea…
PerfidiousPossum@reddit
Why is putting up the flag of the country such a controversial issue for people that want to flood the country with a quintillion foreigners
redbullcat@reddit
Because the St George Flag is increasingly being used by those wishing to create tensions and division in the UK.
JackDiesel_14@reddit
I'm pretty sure the tension is being created by the 5x increase in rape in the last decade. God forbid y'all actually try and do something about it.
Marmite-Badgers-Mum@reddit
It's nothing to do with SA. If it was, they'd not support Tommy Robinson who defended his child diddling friend.
_MadBurger_@reddit
If flying your flag and being proud of it makes tension within said country there’s a problem. If illegals and whigs don’t like the flag of the nation they are the problem.
redbullcat@reddit
That's all I'll say on the matter. Goodbye.
_MadBurger_@reddit
They aren’t seeking asylum and they are illegal. Also, the flag has everything to do with England, been in use since the 1200’s and don’t say it’s Turkish St. George was a Cappadocia Greek Turks didn’t even exist yet. Also, I would think it’s common sense to march in protest against your government, waving your nation’s flag, when your government does nothing to stop the rape and killing of your countryman in your own homeland. You are a coward and a dishonest person.
Lord_Frampton@reddit
Racist clown 🤡
_MadBurger_@reddit
Oh wow haven’t heard that one before
Lord_Frampton@reddit
I'm sure YOU hear it alot.
maximus_verstappinum@reddit
I agreed to most of it except “the UK has been historically a country of tolerance” , tell that to the countries who were colonised. I just read about a Nazi-esque experiment that were conducted on the British Indian Army, they tested the effects of mustard gas on these soldiers, experiments lasted for about a decade. Joseph Mengel typ shi.
Faex06@reddit
You're exactly right mate.
StriKyleder@reddit
Because you are only allowed to fly the flag of your country if you are an illegal minority in another country.
IllIlIlIIIIllIIllllI@reddit
Careful, you’re on reddit
StriKyleder@reddit
Shoot. Thought I was on X.
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
Because repainting mini roundabouts and zebra crossings is illegal. Oh and it wastes money of already bankrupt councils trying to sort it out.
Faex06@reddit
Posting a flag of the country you're living in is right-wing? Lol what is that even for an opinion.
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
No, you’ve misunderstood. Posting a flag with intentions to cause racial division and raise tensions is right wing.
JackDiesel_14@reddit
Those dang right wingers and protesting rape and sexual assault.
There's been a dramatic increase in rape cases in England since 2012. The number of rapes per year jumped from 16k in 2012 to 72k in 2024. A civilized country would want to protect their female population and ensure their safety.
yaourted@reddit
Reported rape cases, specifically?
JackDiesel_14@reddit
Rape, sexual assault. They were steady if not declining and then rose dramatically in the last decade.
Not all cultures are compatible with western values. Specifically how women are valued and respected.
Marmite-Badgers-Mum@reddit
Has anything else changed during that time? I know in 2016 for instance they changed how SA's are counted. Previously it was counted by offender, now it's counted by victim.
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
There’s a difference between protests and rampant vandalism. Learn the difference.
JackDiesel_14@reddit
That sounds like what US liberals call "mostly peaceful protests."
Why aren't you out there joining them and showing them how to protest properly? Lead by example.
ChampionshipDue6493@reddit
It isn’t
TIGHazard@reddit
Sure, if you don't know the context.
Because UK is 4 countries, each with their own flag, then the Union Jack, historically England has used the Union Jack for some reason. Like if you go back to when they won the World Cup... Union Jack, no England flags.
So because no one was flying the England flag, over the years various far-right groups started using it, to the point that no-one actually wanted to fly it outside of football. Like, even Nigel Farage doesn't use the England flag, he uses the Union Jack.
Even during this whole immigration flag protest that's happening right now... all the ones in my area are Union Jacks, apart from one England flag that was already there that had 'Great Replacement Theory' written on.
HIP13044b@reddit
Well given people in Wales are flying it... kinda blows the national pride argument out of the water.
I'm English, and im frankly embarrassed to be so because of these morons. I want nothing to do with that God for saken flag anymore. The racists ruined it.
poofypie384@reddit
The fake right-wingers (not even including paid psyop people) are a minority. Even if they were't no one can deny that left-wing "loons" dominated twitter in the past and wouldn't bat an eyelid if some random brown, black or trans people stormed london or washington and raised 1000 flags*
That all being said X's policy is clear account like that are fraudulent. they got verification clearly in ERROR. it will no doubt be taken down within hours
williamg209@reddit
He needs to go to amazon, their legal team would have more punch
GaiusVelarius@reddit
“punch”
Easy, now.
williamg209@reddit
Lol be fine against elon

Farm Wars The Clarkson Strikes Back
SubjectiveAssertive@reddit
Do you think Musk will do anything that benefits Clarkson?
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
That’ll be why it hasn’t been taken down…
ItzMichaelHD@reddit
I don’t like musk, but I’m pretty sure he isn’t sat on his computer going through the community violations
Apprehensive-Box-8@reddit
True, but he fired the entire team that was responsible to do that.
ItzMichaelHD@reddit
Valid point yeah
SneakyFire23@reddit
He's petty enough to do that.
MarkDeeks@reddit
Only if they affect him personally in some way. He has no skin in this game.
SneakyFire23@reddit
He hates the TG trio after they roasted the Tesla
MarkDeeks@reddit
I guess that's true.
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
True
Plant-Based-5G@reddit
Funny thing is James May follows that account. 🤣
CaptainCorobo@reddit
I hope he stands by their message tho...
Impressive-Sir1298@reddit
the fact that people still use twitter is laughable tbh
TomatoLess229@reddit
Why is it 'X if your a moron' that's the name of the company.
Camaro551@reddit
How has it taken me this long to notice?!
Lifelemons9393@reddit
Musk hates the three amigos because of a questionable review they did on Tesla during the Top gear days .
Musk was actually holding back tears talking about it on the Joe Rogan podcast. I think they apologised tbf🤣
djseifer@reddit
Clarkson reviewing the Model X with "lawyers" riding in the car is a jab at Tesla after they sued the BBC and Top Gear (and lost) after their review of the Roadster, which said that the Roadsters they tested had either broken down or ran out of juice sooner than expected and would take longer to recharge than what Tesla claims.
Lifelemons9393@reddit
Classic taking the piss. What did Tesla expect? A serious review from someone who famously hated anything eco friendly ( at the time)
Pretty sure the lawyers argued Top gear was an entertainment show so rules around fair reviews didn't apply.
djseifer@reddit
]Close, actually.](https://www.mercurynews.com/2013/03/05/tesla-loses-court-effort-to-show-top-gear-lied-about-roadster-range/)
stern1233@reddit
Jeremy clarified all the claims Musk made and clearly stated that the test was fair and not intended to be bias in anyway as proven by the lawsuit filed by Tesla against the BBC. There was no apology, I have no idea where you heard that from.
Grimdotdotdot@reddit
"Strikes back" has clearly changed in meaning at some point in the past.
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
Considering that he’s responded to them in the past…
Grimdotdotdot@reddit
What does "strikes back" mean to you?
vbfronkis@reddit
Because Twitter is now a fucking cesspool and they don't care about account impersonations. Fuck Musk.
Kevinator24@reddit
Bingo ☝️
Suitable_Candle1518@reddit
Since Musk took over Twitter any idiot can buy a blue tick off Musk, the blue tick doesn't mean shit anymore
qoo_kumba@reddit
I'm surprised how many celebs still use X and Meta platforms. Clearly follower count is more important than morals.
scuderia91@reddit
Oh yeah, because they’ve only recently become terrible?
Starkiller100@reddit
That account is obsessed with weird Ai generated slop. It’s infuriating as at first glance you would think it’s an official page
H_K-R@reddit (OP)
The Instagram is worse…
