    Does Dale's demand for "respect" demonstrate that he's moving to the left????

    :eek:

    This is what he said when Jack Jones died...........

    "What is it about the left where they think that just because someone’s died you’re not allowed to discuss the negative things they did while they were alive…."

    The Tory journalist Richard Littlejohn wrote a horrible piece about Michael Foot after Michael's death:

    I remember reading that at the time and it's pretty much what you'd expect from Littlejohn but I genuinely thought Dale was bigger and better than that.

    Perhaps not.

    He's not a veggie as far as i know ? He used to be but now he's not, he talked about it a few months ago that of all the meats he could have had for his first taste of meat again he had cows face.

    Has anyone been following Iain Dale's tweets?
    He's being absolutely vile to people for very little or no reason.

    Funny because I genuinely wondered if he was losing the plot a bit when talking about the possible protests at Mrs T's funeral when he most melodramatically stated that he could handle a few people waving placards but "wouldn't be able to cope" with anyone rushing the entourage... or something along those lines.

    He's usually quite a rational, thoughtful person, but he seems to be taking this all so personally and forgetting that not everyone has to share his point of view to the letter.

    He behaved in a similar way the other day regarding the problem of North Korea. Quite a few anti American people phoned in and he really got in a strop and made a comment about there being a full moon! He sounded most odd.

    This is what correspondent Mark M said in the same article
    ..
    "There does seem to be a rule these days that obituaries have to be gushing with praise for the recently deceased.

    We should be careful when exercising this though. When the day comes that Mrs Thatcher passes away, the lefties will be out at their most revolting.
    April 23, 2009 2:54 pm "

    Very perceptive.

    I'm not condoning any partying or rioting or anyone who says the kind of things Galloway has been spouting.

    My issue is with Iain Dale and the way he's spoken to and tweeted to perfectly decent, thoughtful people who have a genuine and sincere belief, respectfully expressed, that Mrs Thatcher wasn't the messiah.

    I think he's behaving very much out of character and in a way I didn't expect from someone who is normally quite rational and open to different points of view.

    There's nothing new here. I commented quite a while ago that I had followed ID on Twitter and found him to be a completely different character to the one who broadcasts on LBC. So much so that it had turned me against him to the point that I can no longer listen to him which is a shame because he used to me among my favourites. I was so pleased when Clive took over his evening spot.

    Yes the bile he posted on here a while ago about this LBC forum being a bitch fest was i found really rather rude and uncalled for.

    Hardly a way to make friends and influence people.:(

    He's barred me from telling him how it is so I guess not!

    My boycott of LBC will not matter to anyone,:cry: but i heard the opening salvo of NF this morning and know what to expect.:mad:Throw in Clegg later on and it will be sickening for me as he is unable to say something brief and uses twenty words to make a point of no interest.:yawn:.It's been fun listening to music and avoiding all reference if possible about you know who.I presume NF JHB ID will be going to St Pauls to represent LBC and hopefully normal broadcasting can continue afterwards:D...Or is there a wake and callers invited to phone in with their hapy memories of MT...??:(

    Perhaps he was just giving his take on what he reads on here at times and not trying to influence or make friends. I think it's interesting to read his posts, straight from the horse's mouth..

    It's not confined to lefties or righties. This is a basic problem of human hypocrisy and neither socialists nor conservatives have the monopoly on that.

    That was at the end? I vaguely heard something about JC but as she doesn't interest me I didn't take it in. What did she tweet?

    Does Clegg tint his hair? A touch of pot, kettle and black there! :D I like Joanie - she's a national treasure.

    Ian Payne is such an improvement on JOB.
    The usual 30 page monologues wear me out.
    IP is like a breath of fresh air.

    Nick Abbot made me laugh the following night after Thatcher's death: he completely shut down any talk about her, citing, quite correctly that he'd spent 3 hours talking about her the previous night, then proceeded to have a 3 hour banker bashing special; presumably because he never ever talks about bankers!:eek::confused:

    Bankers got the country in a mess and the poor are now suffering and the bankers rewarded.:mad: Well done for avoiding the blanket coverage Nick. :)

    I'm not against his standing on bankers: in fact, I agree with him 100%.

    What I found funny is that Nick bangs on about bankers every single weekend without fail, but failed to see the irony of he himself avoiding a subject that is receiving blanket coverage, only to replace it with another subject that he gives virtual blanket coverage to every time he is on air.

    Retired? I don't think so. She is currently in an ad on ITV.
    Also, she is about to embark on a one woman show, I believe.
    I've never met her but I'm not at all surprised to hear that she's rude and in love with herself. She has always given me that impression when interviewed. I don't like her sister either but then, I'm an embittered old hag.
