Jeremy Clarkson says UK villages are ‘losing their soul’
While having a drink in his local pub, Clarkson tells the camera: “Loneliness is a big issue in rural areas and part of the problem is villages losing their soul.
“You don't have a village doctor anymore. He's in a health centre 30 miles away and you can't get an appointment. There's no village bobby on the beat. There's no village vicar, there's no village shop, there's no village school.
“If we end up at a point where there's no village pub then what is a village? It's just some houses. Pubs are the hub and it should always be that way.”
