Galloway Rallies the Troops. Not, not the British troops, that would require an alternative universe, but BBC militants who are threatening to (heaven forbid!) resign from their posts over the Hutton Report and fallout. What interest he might have in protests supporting them I can't imagine, but he might just want to maintain something of a media cushion against the multiplying pin-pricks of his own guilty verdict, so he was on hand for the 'London Free Press' with his rent-a-gob-for-free-no-oil-required-honest act to say:
"The report is exactly the whitewash and the establishment cover-up that we predicted, with a cherry on top"- which is Galloway-speak for 'jolly good report- damn you'. Tim Blair presents this snippet as part of a useful item summarising affairs at the BBC.
