Positions
Clark describes himself as an "unreconstructed leftie". He opposes British and U.S. policy in the Balkans and the Middle East. He has defended the late Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević, whom he describes as a prisoner of conscience, arguing that he was "done to death" by poison and that "[w]e are dealing here with [...]". He objects to same-[...] marriage, an open-door immigration policy, and free abortion on demand. He supports renationalization of railways and hopes that Iran will build nuclear weapons, believing a nuclear-armed Iran would not be very dangerous.
Lawsuit
In 2006, Clark attempted to sue the writer Oliver Kamm for comments Kamm made on his blog following a critical review of Kamm's book in the Daily Telegraph. The case was notable because it was the first of its kind in the UK. The claim was struck out by the presiding judge in May 2006.
