Jeremy Clarkson left fuming and slams the ‘fun police' as his very pricey new advert is BANNED from TV and radio
Keen to spread the word about Diddly Squat Farm's Hawkstone Lager, Sun columnist Jeremy hired a 34-strong choir of real British farmers to sing their own version of a classic opera tune.

Hilariously, the farmers switched up the words to sing: "F*** me it's good".
It then ends with Jeremy, 55, taking a sip of his pint while standing in the middle of the choir and says directly to the camera: "Hawkstone. It is f***ing good."
The advert, which Clarkson describes as 'the best thing I've ever made, apart from a shepherd's pie in 1988,' was intended to be a powerful celebration of British farming, the backbone of his best-selling lager and cider brand, Hawkstone.
And yet, it may never be seen - because it's "not compliant" with broadcasting regulations.

'It's a cock-up, as usual,' said Clarkson from his Diddly Squat Farm.
'I've made my biggest, most heartfelt, and frankly, most expensive advert ever, and it's been banned.
"The fun police in their beige offices have decided that the public can't be trusted to watch it.
"It's been kicked off the telly, silenced on the radio, and barred from the cinema.

"Apparently, it's 'not compliant'. With what, I have no idea. Common sense?'
Frustrated by the blockade, Clarkson is now turning to the British press. 'If the regulators won't let the people see it, then perhaps the newspapers will.
"I'm asking every editor in the country: will you publish my banned ad?'
Who Wants to Be A Millionaire host Jeremy launched Hawkstone in 2021, offering a range of premium British lagers, ciders and vodka.

The beer was originally made from the barley grown at Diddly Squat Farm.
It has since become the fastest growing beer brand in the UK - and the most followed beer in the world on Instagram.

Steven Gerrard's daughter Lilly welcomes baby with Kinahan gangster's son
Kinahan cartel boss Liam Byrne's son Lee has become a dad after his girlfriend Lilly Gerrard, 21, announced the arrival of their bundle of joy. Lilly, who is the daughter of Liverpool FC legend Steven Gerrard, took to Instagram stories posting a black and white image showing Lee carrying a baby carrier. Adorning the snap, Lilly included the caption "@LeeByrne 2 becomes 3" accompanied by a pink heart and a baby emoji. Lee has been in a relationship with Lilly-Ella since October 2022. Their romance made headlines when it first came to light. Neither are involved in crime. The eldest child of the former England footballer announced she was expecting her first child in January, making Steven a granddad for the first time. Announcing her pregnancy then, Lilly shared a photo of her positive pregnancy test on her Instagram and told her 222,000 followers: "Our little secret. The best news…mini us is on the way." Lilly Gerrard has given birth (Image: Lilly Gerrard Instagram) As celebrations begin following the birth of Lee and Lilly's baby, Lee's dad, Liam, won't be wetting the baby's head in the pub as he is currently under strict house arrest after he was granted early release from prison due to ongoing overcrowding concerns. Crumlin-born gangster Liam (44) was given a five and a half year prison sentence for a plot to stockpile a stash of machine guns. However, earlier this year he was granted early release from Belmarsh Prison in London and has been placed under strict house arrest and has been formally hit with a Serious Crime Prevention Order by UK police which places serious restrictions on his movements and lifestyle. During the court case, Ipswich Crown Court heard how Byrne and co-accused Shaun Kent planted a haul of automatic weapons in a bid to help Kinahan cartel chief Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh dupe the authorities. Lilly Gerrard and her partner Lee Byrne (Image: Lilly Gerrard/Instagram) Kavanagh, who is Liam Byrne's brother-in-law, was hoping to lead the National Crime Agency to the guns in a bid to reduce his sentence in a drug conspiracy case. Kavanagh is serving a 21 year prison sentence for conspiracy to import some €36 million worth of drugs into the UK. Liam Byrne's brother David was shot dead in the Regency Hotel shooting on February 5, 2016. Byrne's death significantly escalated the Kinahan Hutch feud - and saw the cartel go on to murder 16 more men. Byrne's boss Daniel Kinahan was the primary target of the Hutch gang that day - and is still living it up in Dubai despite his cartel crumbling around him.
