Am I alone in noticing the similarity between organisations that encourage 'fake' phone-in competitions and those bloggers who seem to encourage phoney sock-puppet commenters on their sites? At least the BBC seem to be prepared to take action to stop it!

I am disappointed to read Iain Dale's banner only to find that the political commentator is silent on the Tory Party skullduggery in Ealing over the too early announcement of the postal vote. It has led me to conclude that he has lost the political plot. Link

So the fact that I don't comment on a story means I have "lost the plot". Firstly I don't feel compelled to comment on something if I have nothing to add to what has already been said, and secondly, at least if I lose the plot I don't go round sticking an... no, I'll leave it there.

Grow up.

Oh Iain. You are NOT covering the real stories of the day and you ARE covering non stories that you admit have already been hammered by the MSM ... AND making schoolboy errors.

In Ealing Southall we have an absolute litany of discrepancies to put it mildly mostly coming back to the door of the great e-campaigning guru (see what I've done there) Grant 1234 Singh Schweppes, yet the great e-politicking blog of the day is not covering it.

The latest being the PV illegality and the suicide plus election cancelled rumour which you were definitely tipped off about, several times early this morning.

You cover what you want to and we will comment as we want to. That's free speech for you. Should we ban it?

Here's that old pot black, kettle noir routine exposed. And the phoney lit supporting suicide plot.

It is hard to believe these are not worth a comment or a riff when accusing Balls of stealing off Gove (as if) or the BBC for being worse than Channel 4 at checking and taking responsibility (yeah right) are your top blooming stories. Along with a trip with Cameroon to darkest Africa.

Iain Dale sniffs that we should grow up and then flounces off. Never fails to amuse me.

(It's like, soooo mature, y'know? Totally not kewl. Etc.)

Bob: Would you mind awfully picking up Iain's dummy and putting it back in his pram? I do seem to have touched a raw nerve, I can't think what could have got into him. These Tory bloggers really do have a soft underbelly...

"...axe in someone's head". Are those the missing words Iain? Certainly, it's what your sockpuppets throw at me. And yet, you claimed that they were not speaking for you. Mike Rouse has claimed that 18DS is honest and upfront. I have contested this claim, not because of his conduct but because of yours. Your true colours are well and truly stuck to the mast. No more jaw jaw its war war...
