Why they liked him
Article Abstract:
British politician, Alan Clark, died in Sep 1999 and his life allowed for interesting newspaper reports after his death. He married a girl of 16-year-old and took his mistress with his wife on their honeymoon. He seduced two daughters of a South African judge as well as the judge's wife. Clark was a military historian and nationalist and argued that Adolf Hitler could be seen as a military genius. He saw the problems of Northern ireland as best tackled by killed two hundred terrorists from the Irish Republican Army. He played the role of a rogue from the upper classes, which is acceptable in some curcles in the United Kingdom.
