Jeremy Clarkson hits out at ‘fun police’ after Hawkstone advert ban
‘Fun police’ block Jeremy Clarkson’s sweary beer ad from airing
- Jeremy Clarkson's high-budget advert for his Hawkstone Lager has been banned from both TV and radio by the Advertising Standards Authority.
- The advert featured 34 farmers singing a rendition of 'Flower Duet' with explicit lyrics, including “F*** me, it’s good” and “it’s f***ing good”.
- Clarkson criticised the advertising watchdog, labelling them the “fun police” who decided the public “can’t be trusted to watch it”.
- Hawkstone Lager is produced using barley grown at Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.
- Clarkson previously said that selling Hawkstone beer at his new £1m pub in Asthall, near Burford in Oxfordshire, was the only thing saving him from financial ruin.
