I dont agree with what is stated above:

The clerks were trying to avoid the nanny state & just penalise the obvious deliberate bad moves rather than the cockups that were happening all over the track in the wet conditions. With guys like Alan Bryant there, they knew more or less who were the people 'with a lot of previous...'

I think the problem was the opposite, it was the obvious deliberate bad moves that were not penalised, and the worst of the problems were on Saturday in dry conditions, the lack of punishment led to bad deliberate moves on the Sunday. There were quite alot of injuries over the weekend caused by this which is shamefull for the club.
If the clerk and marshalls were on the ball in the first place there would have been a lot less crazy & stupid bitchiness, as at most other circuits it is dealt with by the clerk but in this weekends case most incidents were not seen, the arguments start when deliberate incidents happen and no one is penalised therefore bad deliberate moves happen time and time again.
I had a driver in my team who took out another driver ending his race right in front of a marshall, and it did look deliberate even though he said it wasnt, he should have got a straight black flag without a doubt but apparently no one saw it so what the hell was the marshall doing, when called to the clerks office Amy spent 45 minutes flapping around walking out to see marshalls chatting for ages only to return to ask the drivers to both repeat what happened again then to be told 'sorry nothing I can do no one saw it' later on that driver then cleanly took out my driver causing all sorts of damage and low and behold no one saw it again, If all the drivers know they can take someone out and get away with it then lots will do it (and they did).

Having said that I also wouldnt have the courage to be a clerk, but if that was her job at the weekend then maybe thats what she should have been, maybe she should look for another job as she clearly is not capable of discipline and organising marshalls and isnt that part of a clerks job description.
