This is brilliant. We need to call out the extensive, over-burdening, bureaucratic and business dampening regulations that hamper over 99% of UK registered businesses (99% of registered companies in 2022 were SMEs). The government talks the talk on helping business but does nothing to help them grow (pun intended!).

Love this, reminds me of a time when i used to go to a rugby club when the owner decided to reduce his investment and pull out which resulted in the club not being able to access the clubhouse on matchday to sell food and drink. The volunteers decided to make and sell it themselves but because we had no licence to sell alcohol i suggested that they put a sign up telling punters that if they donated £3 or so to club funds then they could have a can of beer for doing it, thankfully the local council never found out

Sometime you have to aks if these councils are there for the community or if they are out to destroy them, the way they turned down absolutely everything he tried to do was just ridiculous. They even denied him building a farm-road to the restaurant if I remember right.

I find it utterly disagraceful and hugely unjustifiable that a council can DENY someone planning permission for a small farm track on their OWN land. Imagine if you bought a piece of land for £150k, and wanted to build a tiny little shop in one corner of it and the nazi council said "COMPUTER SAYS NOOOOO". I often find Councillors are good for nothing, usually retired people with a sense of "self want" and the idea that they are "representing" their people simply by saying "that's a good idea that", "I'll have a word with xyz" and 2 years later still nothing has changed. My local councillor is an old woman who's about as much use as a chocolate teapot - very demanding of the local police and other agencies and thinks she's super important - she hasn't actually had anything changed or done in the whole time she's been there... my now 84 year old neighbour achieved more! I live just off a main road, there's a cul de sac that backs onto that main road and from my road school kids on their way to and from school used to cross the busy main road where people regularly speed to walk up the cul-de-sac along the rest of the route to school, many kids were nearly hit by cars travelling at excess speed over a 20 year period, there were a few collisions with pedestrians but to my knowledge no fatal accidents, almost all of those collisions with pedestrians were with young school kids, and the majority of the rest were the elderly. My neighbour complained and complained and eventually after many years of campaigning and petitioning a pedestrian crossing was installed on that exact spot where people used to have to literally dash across the road to avoid being hit.

I am near a place in Australia that never had power. In the 80s they were asked by the state government if they wanted the power lines to be bought into the town. They VOTED NO for the sole purpose of KEEPING rich city weekender types OUT. Power connections here, only an hours drive from the biggest city in the country's are STILL limited. I don't have it although I am technically a landlord TO the local power company but my house is 500 meter from the power lines and connection after the power system was privatised costs enough to buy a range rover. One side of the valley below me is much the same and several people are off grid, and the town on the other side of the valley, DESPITE the huge roadside space, has an entire side of the road with no water connection. Literally 5 houses the entire town have water connected because most houses are on the wrong side of the road. Do they ALL drive over with their trailers and IBCs to fill up, drive 50 meters, empty and come back to the water stand. Despite MILLIONS in the local budget EVERY year. The councils recently built themselves a whole new building 2 years ago. The front counter looks like a red speckly bowling ball, everything else is marble. But no money for the water pipe under the road. Drains, but no water pipe.

could you not take the council to court if they're clearly acting in a biased and discriminatory way? Because that local council is clearly denying Clarksons planning permission for the barn and other various things based solely on the fact it's Jeremy and they don't like him, so wouldn't that be grounds for them discriminating on him?

I can see the councils objection on this one. That new lamb shed was intentionally built by the farm shop so it could be 'repurposed' after series 1 into a restaurant. You can't have people doing that everywhere. There'll be pop up buildings all over the countryside and when the business fails it'll be converted to a house. As a one off i do support Jeremy but in the grand scheme of things i support any measure that blocks building on green fields.
