It is with great sadness that I have to say goodbye to Colin Dale.
I had known Colin since the early days of Screaming Lord Sutch, they went to the same school together. He was a DJ on Radio Sutch out in the English channel. He was a Londoner, spent time in Bucks, but then ended up living in Wales still doing his own version of Radio Sutch from his front room. He stood for UKIP at one election, but then in May 2010 he stood for The Monster Raving Loony Party in Buckinghamshire against John Bercow and gained a very respectable 856 votes. He actually came to Witney in 2010 to support me against David Cameron in the same election for a couple of days. That was the last time I saw him, although we had spoken many times on the phone, we both agreed that perhaps we were the last two standing from that late 50s early 60s era. He was a man who said what he thought, and stood by every word, but was also the first to give an apology if he was wrong. A true Rock’n’Roller to the core. To him Bill Haley was the king, I cant argue with that. So long Colin or The Baron as he was known way back when. From all of us in the Loony Party and many more.
Howling ‘Laud’ Hope
