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.

Probably because they're not communists like East Germany or Romania in the old days, so no hormone treatments or getting 13 year old girls pregant before competitions.
Wow Peter! so does getting pregnant at 13 make you good at sports?
The British may not always win but we created almost every major sport.Football,tennis,rugby,golf,formula 1,badminton,table tennis,skating as a sports,boxing,cricket,billiards snooker,skying as a sports,cycling as a sports,darts,rowing as a sports,squash,mounteneering,hockey,curling,the list goes on.The problem is we dont take it as seriously as other nations,as it was mostly done for recreation,and that mentality is hard to get rid of,also we have very few sporting colleges.
