Gilligan Resigns From the BBC

Gilligan Resigns [1]:

“I am today resigning from the BBC. I and everyone else involved here have for five months admitted the mistakes we made. We deserved criticism. Some of my story was wrong, as I admitted at the inquiry, and I again apologise for it. My departure is at my own initiative. But the BBC collectively has been the victim of a grave injustice.

If Lord Hutton had fairly considered the evidence he heard, he would have concluded that most of my story was right.”

Oh, so it’s unfair, is it?

Tell me, Andrew; can you name one criminal who won’t claim he was framed?

And you ARE criminal. Don’t whine too loud, and perhaps nobody will notice that as a direct result of *your* actions, someone DIED. To say nothing if the many people at the BBC and other orgs you editorially crippled.

You’ll live with that, by claiming it wasn’t your fault?

Don’t let the door hit ya.

(Update:) Matt Hoy over at HoyStory [2] has a great line:

“Take solace, Andrew, Al Jazeera has openings.”

Yeah, true, Matt, but they’ll only take him if he ‘sexes it up’ a bit.
