Iain Dale gets Aitken story wrong
This gives me great pleasure. Tory blogger Iain Dale proclaims " ITV Gets Aitken Story Wrong". The story is about prison reform. Jonathan Aitken, in the grand scheme of things is but a bit part actor. Iain Dale states that the Centre for Social Justice, is an independent think tank, chaired by Iain Duncan Smith. It has no formal links with the Tory Party whatsoever. However, I Googled it "A think tank founded by a group of Conservative Party politicians".
To paraphrase Iain Dale "This type of sloppiness is just not acceptable from one of Britain's leading Tory bloggers".
Had the policy group instead been headed by Erwin James it would adopt more credibility. Mr James' inside knowledge far outweighs that possessed by Jonathan Aitken. In prison terms Mr James has walked the line whereas Mr Aitken has only been in long enough for a shit and shave.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
