Nice previous puff piece from Granuiad, June this year:

It will be interesting to see the volte face if it comes.

A very clear and well-written article.

Good for Gilligan

He's pretty fearless, and also very good at crafting sentences which tell you a lot more than it appears on first read

I said on the other thread some MNetters should try to have a more open mind towards the Mail, Sun et al. This is not the first time I have seen reports about crimes against women and children in the red tops which don't feature in the "quality " papers.
