Gilly Gilly, Out of Favour, Packs it in, Joins Boris at The T

Andrew Gilligan leaves London Evening Standard, joins Daily Telegraph.

And his dream came true (And his dream came true)
Quite unexpectedly
So Gilly Gilly, out of favour, packs it in, joins Boris at The T

Apologies to Max Bygraves fans (if anyone remembers the song).

Update : Adam from Torytroll has found the song on YouTube.

London Evening Standard says ‘Sorry’

for the way the newspaper has been run in the past by its now 25% stakeholder, the Daily Mail Group.
The Standard launches its apologetic advertising campaign on posters and buses in London.
Will any of the ‘Sorry for being negative’ executions appear on a bendy bus?

London Evening Standard, The Israeli Elections and ‘The Three Warmongers’

The first edition of the (dead trees) London Evening Standard had quite some headline for the Israeli elections :

“Israelis go to polls to choose between three warmongers.”

I admit to being rather gobsmacked.
The headline has now been changed (in the online edition anyway) to :

“Israelis go to the polls in tight election race.”

with a sub-heading of:

“Commentary: Israelis go to polls to choose between three hawks”

Don’t believe me? – Google News for ‘Three Warmongers”

The London Evening Standard is sold by The Daily Mail Group

The Daily Mail has taken ‘backing Boris’ to extremes by selling its sister title, The London Evening Standard, to Alexander Lebedev, a former KGB agent and IMMIGRANT for NEXT TO NOTHING!

And the paper will SHARE FACILITIES with a company that has been a BRITISH INSTITUTION for DECADES!
