LONDON — Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke was Wednesday battling to save his job after suggesting there was a distinction between "serious rape" and other forms of the crime.
The former shadow finance minister was taking part in a BBC radio phone-in when he replied to host Victoria Derbyshire's assertion that "rape is rape" by saying "no, it's not".
Clarke later Wednesday clarified he believed "all rape was a serious crime" but only said it was a "mistake" if his comments had "given any other impression" and refused to say sorry, angering women's rights groups.
