PP: Not at all. You can have good judgement, bad judgement or – in Iain's case – consistently appalling judgement. Iain spends a lot of time judging other people, too… when he's not screaming; "What right do you have to judge me?!"LFAT: You say 'bottle it', others say 'scuttle it'. Both terms reveal a wee bit of partisan bias, wouldn't you say?

McKenzie could make this by-election a lot more interesting than some people were predicting yesterday, although Labour have yet to officially bottle it and not field a candidate.

Isn't that an oxmoron; the judgement of Iain Dale?

MatGB: According to Mackenzie himself on Radio 4 this morning, not just with Murdoch's backing, but on Murdoch's *request*. Let me repeat that: Mackenzie will be running "for The Sun" on Murdoch's request."Murdoch said in an interview last week that he did not dictate, for example, which candidates each newspaper should endorse in a political campaign."http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/05/03/business/0...No, he just hand-picks the candidates.Meanwhile, according to the independently-minded publisher of the not-going-to-be-at-all-biased magazine Total Politics, doing what Daddy Warbucks says makes you a man of courage:http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2008/06/thank-god-fo...And he wonders why some people worry about his judgement.Note that Iain also claims a question has been answered, when it has merely been dodged.And he wonders why…

'McKenzie has said if Labour don't he will.'Well, he's got the tits for it.

Almost right. McKenzie has said if Labour don't he will. With Murdoch's backing.http://matgb.livejournal.com/318778.html http://community.livejournal.com/theyorkshergob/9...

Oh I believe you.It is quite lovely, in a confusing way and leaves all parties involved (apart from David Davis) a little un sure how to play it, although the downside is the terrible gloating both sides are doing about the situation.I've got to stop watching politicians on the news, it puts me off me naan bread…

One of the things that has amused me about this is the fact that he described as a libertarian AND a social conservative.I’m not sure how that might work exactly but it reminds me of someone once telling me that a certain area of Geneva was great because it was “totally free, as long as you’re not a queer… they don’t stand for queers”
