Jeremy Clarkson has himself himself in deep water once more, this time for making fun of a lawyer on Clarkson’s Farm.
The debate is thought to have occurred in January during a meeting before West Oxfordshire district council’s uplands area planning subcommittee.
During the discussion, the 62-year-old former Top Gear host expressed a desire to develop operations on his Diddly Squat farm in the Cotswolds.
Clarkson stormed out as things didn’t appear to be going his way, claiming that he had plans to ‘diversify’ because to the ‘parlous state’ of farmer finances.
Clarkson is said to have made ‘disparaging remarks’ about the written replies while reading a council officer’s report authored by Barrister Charles Streeten.
‘The TV celebrity took a jab at spelling errors in the council officer’s report,’ according to a hearing report in The Guardian.
Now, the lawyer claims that being humiliated on TV inspired him to step out and confess that he was dyslexic, and that the jokes reminded him of his difficulties in school.
Streeten opened his open letter to Clarkson by addressing the criticism.
‘Learn to spell. Well, I’ve certainly tried. When you muttered those words to me you couldn’t have known how many times I’ve heard them,’ he wrote in the letter, according to The Times.
‘But to a dyslexic, it’s a familiar phrase.’

He also stated that 56 letters of opposition had been received, compared to 13 letters of support for Clarkson’s suggestions.
He noted the TV personality showed a ‘general disdain’ for planning laws and claimed his behaviour was ‘shameful’.
He reportedly added: ‘It indicates a “give me an inch and I’ll take a mile” attitude.’
The final decision was in favour of Streeten and against Clarkson.
Part of the pair’s discussion is thought to have just aired in the second season of Clarkson’s Farm.
In the letter, Streeten also stated that ‘no matter how hard I toiled or stored the list of words beneath my pillow, when the time came to be tested, I just could not place the letters in order with certainty’.
He then went on to describe the difficulties he had had while while obtaining his legal degree, but assured Clarkson that ‘dyslexia didn’t prevent my career at the bar,’ and had seen him targeted in his profession in a way that Clarkson had pointed out.
The feud between the two stems from Clarkson’s divisive essay on Meghan Markle, in which he stated that he “hated” her and fantasised about her being paraded around British towns and publicly disgraced.
It triggered thousands of complaints and resulted in him making an apology, in which he stated that he was “mortified” by his statements.
Clarkson’s Farm seasons one and two are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
