An Open letter to Iain Dale
Posted 17 Jun 2010 by Walaa Idris
Dear Iain,
Your blogpost this morning has left me with mixed feelings about your decision to come off the approved list of parliamentary candidates. Even though we have on many occasions talked about it and while, on most of those times I leaned towards you not becoming an MP, because I belief that what you are doing [blogging, writing, editing, publishing, media appearances and now a fantastic Radio presence] are as good if not at times better for the Conservative cause and becoming an MP will stifle that. I still can not help but feel a tinge of sadness hearing this news.
But there is also the Upper House where you can still do both well, and Lord Dale of Tunbridge Wells has a nice ring to it ;-))
However, I think you have made a wise and brave decision – you were born to do media and you are a natural at it. I love your Radio stand-ins and if LBC 97.3 gives you a permanent slot they will have me as a permanent listener [no more station hopping], and I am sure there are millions out there who will do the same!
Of course, I will be with you tonight at LBC from 10pm – 1am, and might even call the show this time!
Lots of love
Walaa X
