What a chap! It's not surprising that Wedgewood Benn should pay tribute to him - they're both upper-class people who turned their back on the easy way of life in favour of service to the people in the Commons.
Alan Clark was a shit. He treated his wife like she wasnt there. Near to death he made her promise never to marry again. Hed been screwing around for years. If he`d been my Father he wouldnt have had a son. I`d have been long gone, with my Mother.
What a fine man ! He'd certainly get my vote if he were standing in this coming election. Which is more than any of the current mob will. As someone said, he was too rich to bribe and bamboozle, so he was and remained his own man, through and through.
He was many things bit he was not lazy- far from it. He was clever, funny and right about just about everything from fellow politicians to his ugly, whiny, boring constituents. He was a shit when it came to his wife and women but more fool them.
His wife must have been a complete Airhead or did she marry him just for money. sHE HAS NO RESPECT FOR HERSELF STAYING WITH THAT BIGGOTED ARSEHOLE. LOOKS BUT NO BRAINS I GUESS
I agree and he was Mr.Born with a silverspoon man a lazy good for nothing and his wife lacked working brain cells a typical tory expecting everything but never having to do anything in return.
@jamesfurlongerfish .you are a fool he was ugly vain etc the only way he got girls into bed was money. I CANT BE BROUGHT by an evil right wing biggot. Unlike his wife i have respect for myself. unlike you im not a TWAT.
Look, try reading his biography and dairy papers before you indulge me again with your penguin book synopsis of somebody that is and will be far more complex and intelligent than you.
Are you a bitter love child?
As it has been said, if your not a socialist when you are a teenager you have no heart ,but if not a conservative when grown then... no brain.
Let me know when you become secretary of state and we can compare notes, or even if you manage to get someone into bed...!!!!!
Their repeating The Alan Clark Diaries on Yesterday. Of course John Hurt does'nt look anything like him. But then again neither did he look like The Elephant Man !!!!
A Truly Fascinating man. I also admire his father.
I can tell from your post you either don't work for a living, or if you do, you don't have the education or skills to be in a position of authority. Read "Atlas Shrugged" and, if you understand it, you will see that people like Maggie Thatcher and Alan Clark have been paying your way for you all your life.
I wasn't that keen on Eric Heffer but i didn't gloat at his death coz unlike Ray lufc I'm not a sad bastard. PS, how's it going in League 1, paid off your debts yet?
He concluded that standards in Britain had collapsed, on the grounds that competent servants could no longer be found!
The guy was a guilty pleasure - entertaining at arm's length, but no-one can seriously say he had anything to offer politically, with the possible exception of animal welfare.
A man from the days when the tory party had a spine. Whats happend to them? How did they degenerate into that useless shower run by that wimp cameron. The only place where you can find men even remotely similar to Clark is UKIP.
An amazing man. His diaries are fascinating. A true blue Tory who spoke his mind. He was respected by all parties. An intellectual heavyweight and a defence expert. There are far too few politicians like him. Above all, he was extremely patriotic and immensely proud to be British - as we all should be. Not much of that under Labour is there? I for one sadly miss him and will always respect him.
Yes, Ion Trewin certainly seems to be taking his time; I hope people haven't forgotten about him by the time it's out. My signed photo from Al is still up in the study though!
Well, at least he has written interesting books, unlike you, I'm afraid. The only words you seem to know are 'wanker', 'bastard'... Didn't you forget 'cunt'?
my political hero
Donkeys, Barbarossa, Diaries - exceptional. His wd be magnum opus The Tories didn't q live up to its billing, worth a read though
