Tory blogger Iain Dale caught exposing himself

The homosexual Tory blogger Iain Dale has been caught exposing himself in public for what he is in private. This is Iain Dale's blog. If you follow the link you will note that just under the header there are a series of links which take you to other pages on the blog, for example, Rules. I like rules. They are designed to let people know just where they stand. Or not, as the case may be. One of the things about the Prison Service that used to get me going was after making its own rules its failure to adhere to them. It is the same with Iain Dale. He states: "I welcome a healthy debate on this blog". This is a blatant lie. Because there is evidence that he has deliberately set out to stifle debate. Moreover, he states: "It's what blogging is all about". It's one thing stating this, and then doing the exact opposite in practice. This is blatant hypocrisy. I have only just started, but to recap, Iain Dale is both a liar and a hypocrite. These are his words, not mine, he goes on to state: "Strongly worded comments are acceptable, but libellous ones are not". Again, these are not true. In the first instance, Iain Dale operates a comment moderation policy whereby if certain individuals attempt to publish strongly worded comments he refuses to let them be published by deleting them beforehand. In the second place, he allows libellous ones through from certain individuals. So, what he says is ok is not ok. And, what he says is not ok is ok. Rules are meant to add clarity not obscure visibility. What Iain Dale has done by making and publishing these rules is issue a public statement, to the effect, that he is open and honest. Nothing could be further from the truth, behind his lies is a hidden agenda. He is claiming that he is fair, however, the opposite is the case he is unfair.

"If I feel that any comment could be contrued (sic) as libellous I will not allow it through comment moderation.

Swearing is banned on this blog. If you use a swear word in your comment, again, it is liable to be deleted without explanation.

Anonymous posting is allowed, but if it is insulting to me or other people posting in the thread I reserve the right not to allow it through".

I have already covered that Iain Dale allows certain people to post libellous comments, he does allow swearing but has drawn the line at the use of cunt. Probably, because he does not know what one is. It would appear, that what Iain Dale considers as insulting to him is what a fair minded person would consider as fair comment. On the other hand, what a fair minded person would consider as an insult to other people Iain Dale considers as fair comment, particularly, if it is directed at certain people who he has unfairly taken a dislike to.

"Please try to be as polite as possible. People seem to think that the internet can be used to say things to people which you wold never dream of saying to their face. Strong argument is welcomed, but please try to steer clear of personal insults where possible". In spite of his plea, certain people ignore this and he allows them to get away with it, time and time and time again. Despite stating that strong argument is welcome, either Iain Dale directly stifles this or via his sockpuppets indirectly stifles it.

"If any of these rules are continually transgressed I reserve the right to ban an individual from posting further comments". As already stated, Iain Dale allows certain people to continually transgress his rules, and whilst he states he reserves the right to ban them he does not exercise this right. Rather, Iain Dale has decided to ban certain people who have not transgressed his rules once let alone continually.

"In short, I reserve the right to delete any comment made on this blog with no explanation. This is a debating forum which I have created and if people do not like my rules they should feel free not to participate.

If you have suggestions for further rules of engagement, please feel free to leave them in the comments on this thread.

COMMENTERS ON A YELLOW CARD

None

RED CARDED

Tim Ireland (permanently)
Jailhouselawyer (John Hirst)".

Whatever else Iain Dale claims his blog is, it is not a debating forum. It is very one sided. Even the Oxford University Students Union allowed the BNP to debate and did not ban them from speaking. Recently, Iain Dale blogged this post. And this is a comment of mine, in keeping with the post, he did not allow through "I think it is time that Iain Dale is whipped for his misconduct, by someone he is paying proper attention to, in this case Iain Martin. It also provided me with the perfect opportunity to whup Iain Dale in a fairer forum than Iain Dale provides on his own blog. The chickens have come home to roost and its no surprise that a bad egg has been found in the basket". I think that people will agree that such a comment was not worthy of being deleted in the first instance, and certainly not worthy of being banned and sent off the playing field. The odd thing is, like an ASBO, its an honour. It was the second such comment that did not get through Iain Dale's comment moderation policy. So I checked his banned list and there was still only Tim Ireland on it. Today, I looked again, only to discover I had been banned. There's nowt as queer as folk. No notice, no warning, no insult, no swearing, just shown the red card sometime later with no explanation. Could it just be for conduct not in relation to posting comments on Iain Dale's blog? Has Iain Dale never heard of or watched Bremner, Bird and Fortune? I suspect it is this and this which has got Iain Dale's knickers in a twist, being a drama queen, and throwing a hissy fit. The first link was in response to his new look blog and in particular his rules which he does not stick to, and the second to a new magazine called Total Politics which he intends to publish. In my view, if Iain Dale cannot take it (except up the bum) then he should not dish it out.
