About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer and broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am a regular contributor to The Guardian, The Week/First Post, Morning Star, Daily and Sunday Express, The Mail on Sunday, New Statesman, The Spectator, R.F.O. My work has also appeared in The Fleet Street Letter, The Huffington Post, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Australian and in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Pravda and The Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-conservative war agenda -and believe in the urgent necessity of a left-right anti-war coalition. On domestic issues I support re-nationalisation of the railways and public utilities (I am co-founder of The Campaign for Public Ownership), a new top rate of tax on the very wealthy, free care for the elderly, a free National Health Service including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside.

'Actively seeking nuclear weapons'?
Do you have any evidence for this?
If so, I'd like to see it. Nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are two different things (though not it seems for CNN translators and tube trains called Geoffrey).
You'll find the answers to your questions in my article in The Australian last week, posted on 23rd January under the heading'Crisis? What Crisis?
