Get it off the chest meaningless rant alert (and apologies for the personal references):

Counting that rather fluffy Paul Evans post among your (Iain) Daley dose of Officially Approved Posts confirms something I'd suspected for quite a while, sadly (and there's no side to this comment): that New Media "gurus" like Iain Dale imagine that what he thinks of as being his "blogosphere" should be an accredited organisation populated by vetted stooges that only he, a blog "guru" can approve (Con, Lab or otherwise - doesn't matter, so long as Iain SAYS).

I believe that's the thrust of the thesis in the post by this moron, ignorant anti-Tory person named Evans that Iain "I am the law" (no offense) Dale was so ridiculously quick to advertise on his "Tory" (ha) (ha ha) blog - and thus endorse, though deniably.

Damn poor.

Hey, you don't need to disown me, (referring to the super-dumb Evans post you advertised concerning greasy toothed righties) old chap.

I'm a Tory blogger, of sorts.

You know, the kind of Tory that prides himself on his conservatism and his intellectual independence, which I regard as the very definition of our cause, and a worthwhile one it is too.

It must therefore be an accident that Iain Dale agrees with the idiot Evans, or, perhaps, a misunderstanding. I hope (and believe) it's the latter. It had better be.

Evans is telling Dale to cast me off. I say to Dale: cast no one off, lest you be cast, er, orf. We're all in this together, goodthinkers or otherwise. Come together, right now...and all that.

Er, that's it :)

Sorry about that, btw. Hard day - been out on the lash. No need to post it.

Oh, too late.

Bugger.
