Iain Dale is a lying liar.
I've been monitoring the on-going blogging civil war, but haven't felt the need to join in or further comment mainly because I have very little to add. That, and some of it bores me to tears, but finally Tim's digging at both Guido and Iain Dale himself has resulted in Dale coming well and truly unstuck:
An apology would surely not go amiss, Mr Dale.
Here, much to Iain's annoyance, James Oates names my "comprehensive demolition" of Guido Fawkes as his blog of the week. James then goes on to say:
"(Guido) is a nihilist, effectively... and I really think that's what Tim Ireland is pointing out..."Then Iain Dale interjects with this:
"Well isn't Tim Ireland one as well?"Now technically, it could be argued that Iain was merely asking if I was a nihilist; not stating a fact, merely asking a question... but let's pop back to Iain's denial, less than 24 hours later:
"I never said anything of the sort. Seeing as until I just looked it up I hadn't got a fucking clue what a nihilist is, I'm hardly likely to call you one, am I?"But Iain did say something of that exact sort, and any reference to the dictionary would have been completely surplus to requirements because he threw the same word back in a guest's face just the night before!
An apology would surely not go amiss, Mr Dale.

I really have no time for Iain Dale at all. I feel he is part of a wider agenda to formalise the blogging world. I don't wish to be involved in some kind of established blogging world order. I do not link to his web page and I will not link to his web page. The internet should be radical and controversial, not sterile and conservative (small 'c').
