legendary swordsman. he famously bedded a man's wife and his two daughters ( separate incidents)

just one of the many reasons i was an arch conservative Thatcherite in the 80s.

At least he was honest. Today a politician would come out with the approved form of words, something along the lines of: "Oh, it troubled me greatly to see such suffering. But when we originally sold such arms to Thugania, we had no idea that there would be a coup in less than five years time and that a new regime would use these weapons against their population. We have, naturally, protested to Thugania in the strongest possible terms."

Love Alan Clark!

Was honest

Albeit foreigners indeed 🙃

best MP ever.

Journalists are the most corrupt group of people . Frauds and charlatans. Conmen.

Interviewer was not properly prepared. It would have been more interesting to explore why clarke held the views he did. Clarke was philosophical about the human condition and so ultimately frivolous.

One of the best post war UK politicians besides Enoch Powell

So if you're a psychopath but you're honest about it that means it's OK. Got it.

Pilger was no match for Clark . It would help,everyone if the entire interview was available ?

none.

The shit of shits

Just shows you how different Fathers and Sons can be? The Father a world renown and exceptionally respected Scholar and Writer and the son - less than cat faeces, literally excrement.

Legend!

I like this guy.

the honesty of being a racist, a cynic, or as you like to call it. Cool. Let's have a discourse dear Βrits on why a Brit should not worry about dark skinned people getting killed faraway thanks to British sold weapons :)

I love them both, to be honest...

You can tell Clark is bored by the whole thing, as anyone would be after half an hour spent in the presence of the simpering, holier-than-thou -- and complete crackpot -- Pilger

Staggering lack of virtue signaling

Great to see John Pilger put into his painfully annoying leftist place.

What a c@nt

the transcription uses 'farmers' at 47 secs when it should be 'foreign ones'. important

AC was a total a**ehole but he had an almost unique trait for a politician. He was honest.

Not many, but Some journalists have integrity...

That's a psychopath. And no, he can't be vegetarian; He can only claim to be. To be seen in a certain light (To deceive).

I am a gardener and tend to my gardens. I regularly have to clear the weeds less they destroy my beautiful flowers. This is not cruel and heartless, but required by any sustainable or moral form of existence. Our World is a rare commodity, as is the Universe, and all require constant and careful tending. There is a finite limit to resources, and those without the mental or emotional intelligence and fortitude to look to the beyond and care for it unfortunately must be the ones to succumb to higher powers, whether rock or stone. It is necessary to make the harsh decisions required for sustainability, however unfortunate. Those decisions will undoubtedly be unpopular just as the rain not falling causing a crop to spoil. Never forget that for better or worse, to be inclusive is to be inclusive of nature itself.

BAsed

Honesty! Such a long gone virtue.

Why ‘greatest’? Shocking and brutally honest, but ‘greatest’.....?

When he died, there was a tribute from a surprising source, Tony Benn: 'A very kindly man personally. But I think he'll be remembered as one of the few people nowadays who actually said what he thought. And from that point of view, the House of Commons will suffer from his loss.'

We're there's people there's trouble!

Curiously not, no.

Well said, Clark. Pilger with his gotcha question.

At least he might have given more insight into the minds of a lot of vegetarians & vegans..

Mr Pilger couldn't resist the snide qualifier "albeit foreigners", so Clark replied in kind. He had no time for left-wing journalists, but would have replied courteously to a courteous question.

People say this is amazing but did his career no end of harm

In true Peta style "I'd never hurt a fly but I'd fuck you up in a heart beat"

The interviewer is a known Marxist and western hater (but lives in the west)

Pilger: "this british equipment that was causing such mayhem...." Clark: "ah? you're talking about my wedding tackle old boy?"

He murdered his wife and children, but at least he owned up to it! How refreshing!

Wow. An Honest Politician!!!

What a strange bunch of commentators this post has brought.

I think Alan was getting annoyed by the questioning and he simply gave an over the top sarcastic answer.

Although he was pretty monstrous at least he was honest

The distinct lack of men of this calibre in western governments is the reason why the west is going to the dogs.

another bitter politician who never made high office - Thatcher knew he was totally immoral hence kept him away from any serious ministerial position.

Despite being intelligent enough to understand what a 'Moral Compass' was, Alan Clark himself simply didn't possess one. Politically, personally and sexually he made no apology for the creature he was... (He saw no reason to.) His apologists cite his undeniable wit, charm and self confidence to pardon his actions and personality in every sphere. (They have a possible point...) Yet, he was a creature of absolute privilege who had no empathy whatever with anyone else who was not. Had he been born in a different age, he might well have been a Reinhard Heydrich type... Thank God he was not... xx SF

Its humans that are vermin.
