What Clarke ACTUALLY said, in response to a comment that "Rape is Rape", was "No, it's not".
He made the classic Old Tory mistake of forgetting he wasn't speaking over coffee and brandy at some fossilised Piccadilly "gentleman's" club, and was actually talking to "ordinary people" on a radio phone in.
For that reason, he has to go.
