It's going to get messy(-er). Gilligan denies misrepresenting Kelly. If the argument before last week was all messed up on how words and phrases were used and interpreted it looks like now they're going to be even more so. Both the Government and the BBC could pass lie tests that their point of view on the matter is right, so really it returns to the issue that Ali C has not really wanted to deal with directly since this began, whether the BBC is allowed to put out information the Government doesn't want in the public domain. If he wants a government-controlled media he should ask Tony to tell the relevent Government departments to prepare legislation to bring the BBC under the Government's direct control. If he doesn't want that then he should shut the fuck up.
