- For the British guitarist, see Neil Clark (guitarist).
Neil Clark (born 1966) is a journalist and blogger from the UK. His work has appeared in newspapers and journals both in the UK and overseas including in The First Post, The Guardian, The Australian, The Times, Observer Sport Monthly, The Fleet Street Letter, The Morning Star, The American Conservative, New Statesman, The Spectator, the Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express, Racing and Football Outlook and the Racing Post.
He writes on subjects including politics, literature, travel, television sitcoms and sport. He is a horse racing correspondent for Racing and Football Outlook.[1] In 1992, he wrote the biography of the Scottish point-to-point horse Flying Ace. He opposes the foreign policy persued by the UK and the United States in the Balkans and the Middle East, including the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999. He is frequently accused of being a defender of Slobodan Milošević by his detractors, including David Aaronovitch, Stephen Pollard and Private Eye, a magazine.
Clark supports the return of capital and corporal punishment and tougher prison sentences. He considers these to be the authentic Labour position which was distorted from the 1950s/60s onwards by people who were "liberals rather than socialists".[2], though in an article in 2003, he cast doubt on whether one of the architects of the "permissive society", Roy Jenkins, could be described as a liberal.[3]
He objects to "same-sex marriages, an open door immigration policy, and free abortion on demand" which puts Clark at odds with most of the contemporary left, while sharing this attitude with the anti-war right.[4] Clark views it as essential for the anti-war left and right to unite against Tony Blair and George W. Bush.
In addition to his journalism, Clark teaches International Relations at Oxford Tutorial College.[5]
In 2006, Clark attempted to sue the writer Oliver Kamm for comments Kamm had made on his blog but this claim was struck out for procedural reasons with the forfeiture of Clark's fee.[6][7] Kamm said that Clark had inaccurately cited source material in a review and that Clark had not denied this even when invited to do this if appropriate.[8] Clark in his turn views Kamm as being a neo-conservative who is out to "smear" Clark.
Zsuzsanna Clark, his Hungarian-born wife is also a freelance journalist and writer who has contributed to the New Statesman and The First Post.
