The farm is a pittance and anyway has doubled in value from 6m to 12m (might not be correct) but his net worth is 60 to 70m - he has a massive IHT bill looming or his beneficiaries have.

Yep, it's all just another expensive plaything for Clarkson. However, if he'd not been so open and blatant about abuisng the system and buying a farm to avoid paying IHT, then the Gov wouldn't have closed that loophole. As a result he's ended up stiffing a whole bunch of farmers for whom farming is a livelihood and way of life.
