'Your thought was not that somebody had bumbed him off' — Gilligan
"I shudder to think of the endless Conspiracy Theories there will already be on the internet about this, the fact is as I've always said with David Kelly actually: Killing somebody when they're in the eye of the storm like this is a fundamentally stupid thing to do, and not something anyone with any sense would do, because it just amplifies the story, and anyone with any sense would know that, so I very much doubt that he's been murdered."I know you humans are all supposed by 2nd nature to be Predators, but that's a heck a pronouncement.
Don't kill 'em till they've moved out from the centre of focus. Then you still send out a very strong warning message, whilst covering your predatory spiney backs?!
During the same (full length) interview Gilligan admits he believes that Murdoch had it in for the BBC, and during today's Culture, Media and Sports Select Committee, Rupert & James Murdoch slam the Telegraph for underhand tactics by paying the £700,000 "or whatever it was" to the chief Executive of the English football Association's Trade Union, Gordon Taylor.
It was becoming a punch for punch match, with MURDOCH repeatedly PUNCHING THE TABLE for emphasis as the BBC were happy to point out early on today (He's been at it since early on). And then a guy armed with shaving foam takes a leap at old man Murdoch. I guess that was to draw public attention, just before Old Man Murdoch makes his Public Apology from News International & his <1% NOTW operation, as he did just 10 minutes after the incident.
