If you watch the interview you'll see that when asked, he began a sentence by saying "Yes, well, you see..." and the the audience started laughing. If he intended to say "Yes" and mean it literally, he would have done so and he would have elaborated. During the interview he didn't say anything else about it, and Terry Wogan understood that he didn't mean yes literally and that he was using the word yes in another context, and Terry Wogan has acknowledged this. The fact that he's never mentioned it in any of his books, lectures, or subsequent interviews (or any interview) shows that he doesn't make such a claim.
That's not really the point or even the only thing that seporates him from crazy. It's virtually everything of public note he's ever done. He's a conspiracy theorist of the worst variety.
Let me cite an example from the wikipedia entry concerning him:
David Icke - Wikipedia Wrote:Global Elite
Further information: New World Order (conspiracy theory) and Illuminati
Icke's basic argument is that humanity was created, and is controlled, by a network of secret societies run by a race of interbreeding bloodlines originating in the Middle and Near East in the ancient world. Icke calls them the "Babylonian Brotherhood." The Illuminati, Round Table, Council on Foreign Relations, Chatham House, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the IMF, United Nations, the media, military, science, religion, and the Internet are all Brotherhood created and controlled.[38]
The Brotherhood is mostly male. Their children are raised from an early age to understand the mission; those who don't are pushed aside. Key Brotherhood bloodlines are the British House of Windsor, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, European royalty and aristocracy, and the Eastern establishment families of the United States. The origin of the bloodlines is extra-terrestrial. At the apex of the Brotherhood stands the "Global Elite," the same group identified throughout history as the "Illuminati"; at the top of the Global Elite stand the "Prison Wardens." The goal of the Brotherhood—their "Great Work of Ages," or the "Brotherhood Agenda"—is world domination and a micro-chipped population.[39]
Icke introduced the idea in The Robot's Rebellion that the Global Elite's plan for world domination was first laid out in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a hoax published in Russia in 1903, which supposedly presented a plan by the Jewish people to take over the world. The Protocols is the most influential piece of antisemitic material of modern times, portraying the Jewish people as cackling villains from a Saturday matinee, as Ronson puts it, widely drawn on by the far right and neo-Nazi groups.[40] Mark Honigsbaum writes that Icke refers to it 25 times in the book, calling it the "Illuminati protocols," and it is the first of a number of examples of Icke moving dangerously close to antisemitism, according to Michael Barkun—see below for a discussion of the antisemitism controversy.[41]
Seriously. This is not a rational person. This is not a person who employs logic or rational thinking. If he did, he would have devoted his life to doing something productive with his time. (Aside, of course, from making money off of other people's stupidity - such as from book sales and speaking fees.)
Even if, like a broken clock, he's still right two times per day, I can still guarentee that a working clock is still a better way to tell the time.
