Andrew Gilligan, Tony Travers & The Evening Standard - Anti-realLondoners

outing corrupt politicians, journos and academics | 30.10.2007 11:51

No credible person in London views the Evening Standard as a London paper, it is read by commuters and it represents their views not those of real Londoners. Its commentators such as the flawed academic Tony Travers who has more in common with Councillor Keith who has been ousted from the corrupt Tower Hamlets on two occasions is its chief commentator. Now Mr Travers has become the opinion former for Andrew Gilligan, a man ostensibly concerned with corruption - try starting with Mr Travers...

The world of a newspaper industry written for the corrupt establishment and protecting a corrupt establishment is nothing new. However, in the UK, it appears there is a need to provide the thinly veiled cloak of ethics where there is none. The public are not fooled by the corrupt. Just disappointed and angry. The Evening Standard will soon find its paper sold outside every tube station will have a revolt in London and the findings will not be pretty.

The theme as Harold Pinter would have said to the Royals if they had not forced him to accept their crony knighthood reserved for the crooked and wealthy corrupt - Fuck off and don't come back.
