Jeremy Clarkson Details Funeral Plans and Criticizes Tax Reform

Television presenter Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his plans for the future, including details about what will happen after his death. Clarkson, known for his work on shows like Top Gear and for his farm, Clarkson's Farm, has expressed his opinion on the impending tax reform that will affect farmers in the UK. The reform, which will come into force on April 5, will require landowners to pay inheritance tax when they inherit their farms.

Clarkson, always willing to express his opinions, has shared his plans in a column in The Times. Among his wishes, he highlights leaving something irritating to his Grand Tour colleague, James May, such as a cow, and 'all my trousers' to Richard Hammond. He has also decided that his son, Finlo Clarkson, will inherit his gold watch, on the condition that he 'keeps it up his bottom for five years'.

Clarkson has ruled out organ donation and cremation, arguing that he might be wrong about the existence of God and doesn't want to appear 'pretty silly' in heaven in an urn. For his funeral, he has chosen to have the 23 minutes of the song 'Supper's Ready' by Genesis, from 1972, played. In addition, he has expressed his wish to be buried in Yukon, a territory in Canada, 'for no other reason than because it's seriously inconvenient'.

The presenter has also addressed the government's tax reform, which will directly affect him. Clarkson plans to 'hang on' until the reform is revoked. In case he becomes incapacitated, Clarkson has written that his children would face a hefty tax bill if life support were disconnected before the current government leaves power.

Clarkson has not hidden his aversion to the current government, going so far as to ban all Labour MPs, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, from entering his pub. Clarkson has stated that Starmer 'hasn't done much to endear himself to me'.

The presenter has also included James May and 'food intolerance enthusiasts' on the list of unwelcome people. Clarkson wrote in his column last year that he was considering banning people with food intolerances because of how 'annoying' they are.
