but for someone to go after his livelihood and his income makes me believe that caroline dinenage, whoirling around to deal with herself , is around to deal with herself, is someone who's trying to silence a private citizen . and we've got a private citizen. and we've got to remember that in this country, we are the powerful people. they are our servants. >> and by the way , i felt >> and by the way, i felt exactly the same about the untrue allegations that were levelled against the actor noel clarke. despite right. the fact he was probably considered a figure on the left. he was despicable. he cancelled two with no due process . he's now with no due process. he's now suing the guardian. lawrence for £10 million, and i hope he wins because he deserves to. so for me , this is nothing about politics. >> he's not going to get he's not going to get to sue the guardian because no one's going to support him. and problem to support him. and the problem with noel clarke he he tried with noel clarke is he he tried to straddle the fence of truth for long and he didn't take for too long and he di
