Jeremy Clarkson says people couldn’t get Covid vaccines because of traffic due to farm traffic

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that the amount of traffic to his Diddly Squat Farm shop prevented people from getting to the local health centre for their Covid vaccinations.

The former Top Gear presenter discussed the issue in his new series of Amazon Prime’s Clarkson’s Farm, which follows his attempts to run the farm in the Cotswolds. In a preview of the first episode of the new series, seen by The Independent, Clarkson, 62, says the farm shop “turned out to be rather more popular than we’d expected”.

Speaking over footage of large queues, a rammed car park and road traffic, he continues: “Last week, the main road jammed up for three hours. People couldn’t get to be vaccinated at the health centre, and they couldn’t get a crew for the fire station.”
