Why some newspapers will always demonise Andrew Gilligan

What is the view of the Andrew Gilligan affair at the Frog and Firkin? It is some time since I have been down to the Frog, but I feel I know its ways so well that I can be pretty sure what they are thinking. Most of its denizens are stuck somewhere between boredom and bewilderment. They feel as though they have been asked to take a paper in astrophysics with half an hour’s preparation on the subject and the aid of a blunt pencil. Of course, there will be some who believe they understand the whole thing perfectly. The landlord, who happens to be a Labour councillor, is certain that the BBC and Mr Andrew Gilligan are gravely at fault, and looks forward to the day when Alastair Campbell is raised to the peerage. The man who props up the bar, on the other hand, is a lifelong Tory who for the first time finds himself siding with the BBC.
