As this unfolded it became incredibly clear it had backfired for him. He looks far worse than he did at the start.

I got drunk a few months ago with someone who knew about this sort of stuff and explained in great detail why pursuing defermation on truth is a terrible idea. I don’t remember at all the details of it. But I do remember that was when I found out vodka, lemon tonic was quite a nice drink.
I’m just curious who told him suing for libel was a good idea
The idea that the Guardian, of all newspapers, would orchestrate a massive conspiracy to bring him down because they didn’t like the idea of a POC man winning a BAFTA is utterly ludicrous. What an utter knob Clarke is.
How tragic, ~~cancel~~ consequences culture claims another victim.
Not really a surprising result. Once you’re up in court alleging there’s a decades-long conspiracy against you between dozens of otherwise unconnected people you might as well just sack your counsel and represent yourself, it’s not like your credibility can fall much further.
I have a theory that sexual harassment and worse are so high among performers because they know how hard it is to break into these industries so it gives people higher up a lot of power and some of them abuse it.
The legal costs are going to kill him. He used a law firm has no background in defamation litigation and he made loads of interlocutory applications. My guesstimate is £3 to £4 million.
That nice flat in Kennsington is going to have to go.
