It's Official: Iain Dale Doesn't Know His Onions

From the mad, bad, dangerous to know world of Roch Dale to distant cousin Iain Dale whose grasp on reality seems to be slipping rather ...

Now, I am certainly not persuaded on the doctrine of "separate development" under which schools, colleges and universities are segregated. Iain tells of one recent proponent of the doctrine here:

Former Livingstone adviser Lee Jasper has today called for the creation of 'black only' schools. He thinks it is the only way to tackle knife crime and raise standards for Afro Caribbean pupils. He said...

"The fact is, it's time the black community ran its own schools, devised a curriculum that suited the needs of our children, employed teachers that look like the young people they are teaching."

The man is utterly crazy. If someone made the same suggestion and replaced the word black with white they would be reported to the Equality Commission and probably worse. Thank God this man is nowhere the levers of power in London any longer.

Actually Iain, this seems to be a bid for the role occupied so briefly by Dave Cameron favourite Ray Lewis, dropped like a hot potato when the vetting the Tories had not carried out was begun by the media and the public.

Lewis had not only supported this concept. He was famously doing it. In London. With the backing of Tory high ups sitting on his board. Feted by Cameron as the first project he visited as leader - closely followed by United Estates of Wythenshawe - and employed by Boris Johnson on the say so of Nick Boles.

Rather than being sacked for his stupidity Boles has been promoted to Dave Cameron's right hand man.

Just a little repetition of Iain's forthright view:

The man is utterly crazy. If someone made the same suggestion and replaced the word black with white they would be reported to the Equality Commission and probably worse. Thank God this man is nowhere the levers of power in London any longer.

Iain also has some twaddle about some green fascist recommendation for garden watching. And while he clearly realised yesterday that when all his opponents are referring to "David Cameron's Conservatives" (Brown) or "David Cameron's Tories" (Clegg) then it may be that a big and negative story is about to break. But he assumed instead that his opponents are stupid.
