Jeremy Clarkson says Brexit ‘makes me want to weep’ in scathing takedown

Jeremy Clarkson says Brexit was a disaster and he’d “crawl back to the EU” with Lord Sugar.

Outspoken as ever, Jeremy Clarkson has taken a wrecking ball to Brexit, describing the UK’s exit from the European Union as a monumental mistake that “makes him want to weep.” The former Top Gear host says he can’t see any upside to Brexit and believes it’s done nothing but make life harder for Brits.

“Brexit has made our lives worse”

Writing in The Times, Clarkson recounted a recent work trip with his Clarkson’s Farm film crew, where crossing the border into France became a bureaucratic nightmare. He compared the post-Brexit delays to navigating some of the world’s most challenging borders, saying:

“I’ve crossed many tricky borders—like Iraq to Turkey or Rwanda into Tanzania. But nothing has ever taken as long as it did to get from post-Brexit England into France.”

And what about those who still defend Brexit? They make Clarkson’s blood boil.

“If I meet someone who still thinks Brexit was a brilliant idea, I get so cross my hair catches fire and my teeth start to itch.”

“Where are the upsides?”

Clarkson, who typically leans politically right, is now part of a growing number of prominent figures—like Lord Sugar—who are openly calling Brexit a disaster. In his column, Clarkson said that if he were prime minister, he’d join Lord Sugar in begging Brussels to take Britain back.

“Alan Sugar said the biggest mistake of his lifetime was Brexit and that if he were PM, he’d crawl back to the EU. I’d go with him. Although, after two hours stuck in a lorry park in Kent, our knees might be quite sore.”

He went on to mock the supposed benefits of Brexit, saying:

“We’re told it’s better to be governed by a democratically elected parliament than some bankers in Brussels. But honestly, I’d prefer anyone to this—my local school’s Year 10s, my dogs, even Trump.”

A growing chorus of discontent

Clarkson’s remarks come at a time when public dissatisfaction with Brexit is at an all-time high. Recent polling by YouGov showed that just 3 in 10 Brits still believe Brexit was the right decision, with many now openly questioning whether the UK should try to rebuild its ties with the EU.

With influential figures like Clarkson and Lord Sugar calling for a rethink, the pressure on the government to address the fallout from Brexit is only growing.
