Unless something changed, I could access the ITV hub a few weeks ago without a VPN

No this was nefore the lockdown. It's true that it didn't say "Access is denied from your country" or whatever it is the BBC says when the VPN is off or not working, it was just a "not available" message, which I took to be because I wasn't in the UK. I'll give it another go some time, thanks. (Though I'm not in Ireland either, I'm in continental Europe, so maybe that changes something too)

So it seems there's definitely truth to some or most of the allegations.

Meh he'll probably do a Louis CK and be back in short order, having thought about it and realised how wrong he'd been, and all will be forgiven. :mad:

Louis CK isn't really back though?
He hasn't had a TV or film role since....he released a stand-up special...through his own website I think.
I don't see Clarke coming back from this either given the sheer volume of accusations and the fact more are coming out.

He seems to be suggesting in the speech that by winning an award, he defeated a racist conspiracy which was preventing people with dark skin from succeeding in life in the UK.

I think the fact that its so common-place now to throw around racial/racist,
statements is dangerous for the cohesion of societies. Focusing on peoples differences, making public racial statements of society-wide bias without supporting evidence.


In his statement responding to the allegations of harassments etc, he does make an denial, but only after telling everyone how "diverse" and "inclusive" he is.

“In a 20-year career, I have put inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of my work and never had a complaint made against me. If anyone who has worked with me has ever felt uncomfortable or disrespected, I sincerely apologise. I vehemently deny any sexual misconduct or wrongdoing and intend to defend myself against these false allegations.”

Familiar story, Weinstein etc, wearing the clothes of progressivism, while acting differently towards other human beings.
