Possible self-editing

I am highly suspicious that the edits from: 213.219.49.180 may be from or related to the subject or one of her publishers etc of this piece given that they make a small number of changes to info boxes and then remove negative content from Clarke's page. They good also be from someone related to Mr Moran. Who is to know.

If this is the case regarding Clark: "Hi Rachel I found your behaviour during the pandemic disgusting and unbecoming of a doctor. But then you aren't a doctor are you really, you are a journalist who works in palliative care and likes to write about health issues and tweet on the internet." Though I take this back if this is a literary agent or someone hired by them.

If this is Mr Moran: "I am somewhat more sympathetic to your emotional state if not your behaviour since you are not a journalist or doctor in the same sense that Clark is. I am sypathetic that this material may tarnish you - the lockdown was a hard time. However, I feel this material is of material interest given the extreme nature of the pandemic and lockdown - which you are only too aware. I hope with time there can be some measure of reconciliation about this time, but we might have to wait a while."

Anyway less of the emoting today perhaps. I reverted the changes - I think this material is valid due to: threats of litigation, Clarke being a high profile journalistic doctor and tweeter during the period of writing a number of pieces in the guardian.
