Normally he's much more careful than that.Oh, so we may as well add:3. Iain Dale allows widespread sock-puppeting on his site when it suits him, and does nothing to stop it.

Boy, I'm glad that's not my problem.(Iain Dale once turned up in a comment thread on an external site and said something totally out of character.
