No, I just said he should be stood down until proved otherwise people will
not want to deal with someone they think is a rapist. It's usual common
reaction from people.
Most of you would probably think the same thing if it was someone else, say
Howard.
Doesn't matter what I think because it is everyone else out there watching
Clarke and that will not help any cause. The doubt is already out there
thanks to the media and the victim.
I wasn't provoking, just saying because I feel very strongly against people
who RAPE, especially those in power.
RAPE is a disgusting word. One day it won't exist.
