I have a reasonably good relationship with Iain Dale. We met for coffee this week, and might well work together on some things in future. So I’m no knee jerk Iain Dale hater. At the height of the e-mail furore (how long ago it seems…), Iain libelled Tom Watson in the National press. Iain apologised at

I don’t support Iain Dale’s political ideology but he and I agree on one thing: we’re both advocates of use of the internet for politics, and hence the use of social networks and blogs within a political environment. For any other members of political parties concerned by the same issues, Dale’s efforts to be selected

My first post titled Irony was quite good, and involved Iain Dale. But this one is a cracker. And involves Iain Dale again. Tom Watson… Mr Watson complained of an article by Iain Dale, headed “Smears, glowering henchmen-like the Nixon White House” published in the Mail on Sunday on 12 April 2009 in which it was stated

"Dear Iain Dale, I think Nadine Dorries is a twat. This doesn't mean I think you're a twat. But as it happens, I do." - Anton Vowl 1. According to lawyers acting for Iain Dale, I am not mad/insane and...

The Iain Dale Fan Club started at midday on April 16, 2009, after Iain Dale stood by an allowed me to be smeared as a paedophile, refused to discuss that, banned me from the comments on his website for daring...

Iain Dale has allowed rampant paranoia to completely possess him. If there is a pattern of few Tories getting up for Sunday morning television that must surely have something to do with those Tories? Any reasonable person would think. But Iain Dale asserts that this pattern results from a combination of Draconian Labour minders and pathetic pinkos at the BBC. I think Iain's being very brave o...

Iain Dale was on a panel talking about e-democracy and maintains that MP's are burying their head in the sand over this medium. What I think Iain Dale fails to understand is that engaging with members of the public as the 1984 campaign proved is the very last thing they want to do, I get the feeling if they could do away with elections altogether they would be happier bunnies.

"So he's now going to launch a spamming initiative against me or try to instigate a DNS attack." - Iain Dale This is an incorrect assumption at best. Given Iain Dale's past history, it is more likely to be a...

Iain Dale asserts that Number 10 leaked names of dissidents and wonders why. But I think there are far too many assumptions in the coverage from Tory and indeed the less critically thinking MSM boys and girls.
