About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer & broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am the author of 'Stranger than Fiction', a biography of Edgar Wallace, available here http://goo.gl/o2cZze , 'Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys 1945 to Present Day' and 'Flying Ace'. I have been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in UK & overseas including The Daily and Sunday Express, The Guardian, The Week, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Spectator. My work has appeared in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Woman's Weekly, and the Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-con 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 co-founded of The Campaign for Public Ownership), free care for the elderly, a free NHS including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside. I am anti-lockdown. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @NEILCLARK66 and @MightyMagyar

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.
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.
