Andrew ‘I have considerable doubt as to how reliable Gilligan’s evidence really is’ Gilligan really does not like being ignored does he? Take a look at his new article in the Telegraph, he laments how no-one else is taking up his year-long project and reporting on it. Even after getting his friend Douglas ‘conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board’ Murray to help. He accuses those who are ignoring his ‘revelations’ of being scared. Of course it would never occur to him that maybe there is absolutely nothing there other than innuendo, sensationalists dramatisation, and as we established yesterday, ‘dishonest’ methods deployed to conjure up an illusion.
Being desperate as he is, Gilligan went over to the Guardian and wrote a piece there – again it attracted no more spin offs. But what really hurt Gilligan was the fact that the East London Advertiser did not report on this ‘revelatory investigative documentary’. He says ‘the East End has one of the best local papers in Britain, a genuine mirror of its community. But curiously, this week’s issue seems to have missed a story which has been making some serious waves in that very community.’
What’s so curious Andrew? And where is this serious ‘waves’ in the community – maybe you should film it so we can all see it. Of course there is nothing curious about why the Advertiser is ignoring the story – Gilligan’s right-hand man in the hatchet job no longer works there. I am sure both Ted Jeory and Gilligan will be harassing the Advertiser editor to do something soon.
Gilligan is fast developing credentials for the BNP with his preaching of hate and intolerance. At Today’s EDL demo there were many placards that read “Close down East London Mosque’ – directly as a result of his preaching – let’s hope it doesn’t become incitement! Also take his blog for example (written at 2am) where he feels proud to have conned a school to not take part in the Big Read, his intention (as outlined by the title) was to destroy a fantastic event where a new world record was achieved.
Gilligan actively called various schools to scaremonger them and get them to pull-out, he succeeded with a single school, the rest dismissed his dishonesty based on facts and years of working with the East London Mosque. Oh Andrew…did you see the fireworks in your honour!
However, notwithstanding Gilligan’s incessant efforts the Big Read last night achieved a spectacular new world record. 3234 participants exceeded all expectations by breaking the Guinness World Record for ‘the most children reading with an adult.’ But Gilligan tried to paint this as some sinister ‘Muslim’ takeover the world event. But let us look at who took part and its diversity including politicians and celebrities, who came from across London to take part. To name a few there was the journalist Victoria Brittain, BBC London presenter Asad Ahmed and Hedy Epstein, an 85 year old holocaust survivor. And guess what they read…yep Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Hey Andrew, you didn’t know that was on our reading list did ya!
As for Gilligan’s key witnesses, Hormuz Ali, Nurul Islam, Golam Mustofa, Bodrul Islam, Sajjad Miah and Ansar Ali he still plays cloak and dagger with them, as if the community does not know who they are. He tried to present them as independent members of the community, whereas in reality they are from Brick Lane Mosque and the Bangladesh Welfare Association with Badrul Islam (CEO) and Nurul Islam (Chair) from EMEP.
Gilligan’s obsession is not over, he slaves over his keyboard staying awake all hours of the night – writing articles, surfing, searching and God knows what else. He announced yesterday to dedicate a blog each lunch time to our site. Kick starting his attacks with a ‘cut and paste’ tripe on Abul Kalam and today on Abdullah Hasan. Don’t worry Andrew we won’t delete anything, unlike you we do not operate in ‘sinister ways’.
gilligan is well known for his terrible unrofessional journalism in the media industry. other journalists use his name to discredit and insult junior budding journalists that occasionally slip up. in journalism, ‘gilligan’ is becoming fast synonymous with journalistic cock ups of a grand scale.
this is all because of how his ’source’ dr kelly was exposed to the public during the decision to go to war. you will all remember that dr kelly then subsequently and mysteriously died from excessive bleeding in the woods! some theories out there would suggest that gilligan contributed to bringing this man’s life to an abrupt end due to his poor and irresponsible journalism.
Notice how gilligan has also attacked black individuals and organisations in the past who have gotten there act together and began moving on in the world… these allegations he made include –
• That the London Development Agency may have been intimidated by threats of black gang violence into giving grants to black organisations. No evidence whatever was presented for this absurd allegation.
• That a project funded by the LDA was a “vibrant hub for criminals”. No evidence presented.
• Andrew Gilligan alleged that the LDA was corruptly pressured to pay £250,000 to a “friend” of the mayor’s adviser Lee Jasper. No payment of £250,000 existed.

it seems gilligan doesn’t like colored folk. perhaps he will then do an expos’e on the influence of the jewish lobby and how they are ‘entryist’ in having successfully ‘infiltrated’ crucial positions of politics, economy and even govnment.
then again, gilligan may not as he may have some vested interests there.
Another one bites the dust! Excellent blog! But uh oh this blog may now have caused Old Gilly to stay up ANOTHER extra few hours to see what else he can cut and paste for his scrapbook of nonsense. One is getting the sense of sheer panic and desperation coming from Old Gilly!
What is the next course of action going to be? Old Gilly throwing his dummy out of the pram for attention? (his silly Dispatches ‘report’) Oh I think that has been done. Will he have a tantrum in the middle of a supermarket? (continuous rubbish articles) Oh..wait…no he has that covered pretty well too!
I say its back to the drawing room for you Old Gilly…come back A YEAR LATER you may have had a stroke of genius by then…well one can only hope ey??!
Gilligan!!! I know you’re reading this! Convert to Islam brother, you know you want to! We’ll accept you with open arms man, we’re good like that!!!
Dear oh Dear! Mr Gilligan how low can you go! You tried and stop the World Record for something encourages reading to our children! Shame on you mate! Azad you’r last two pieces are like literary daggers slicing the cloak of Mr Gilligans lies. This is so funny! I can just imagine him glaring at his computer as he scrolls through BTL!!! C4 and The Telegraph really need to consider if this man is worth having….his contribution these past few days have been very poor in the journalistic sense. I mean look at his bloody history!
A nasty piece of work, Gilligan is!
“Hey Andrew, you didn’t know that was on our reading list did ya!” thats so funny lol nice this is tooooooooooo funny!
He didnt get sacked from BBC for no reason, its a shame channel 4 are still entertaining Gilligan’s lies. Can this guy get any low? I think the answer is yes…he seems to be breaking his own records!!! Wicked Blog Azad!
Well MR Gilligan but failed. Allah SWT is who we rely on, and no one can take that from us.
What kind of a man, wants to STOP CHILDREN FROM READING? Makes you think, there is something very untoward and sinister about MR Gilligan. Whether it be his obsession with IFE lol or the very act of being proud of stopping young children from learning! Dude issues!!
May Allah protect continue to protect us from such people and grant them hidayaah
very good article Azad
Can someone tell me what happen to him at Press TV, did they sack him?
must congrat him for his skills in cut and paste Journalism,…may be thats why press tv got rid of him….too much cut and pase job he was …doing
On his blog, you’ll notice who Gilligan’s hardocre followers are; a bunch of wild islamaphobic rascist supremacists. You’ll get them talking about deporting Muslims wholesale, celebrating the claim that ‘tey’ the white British were the masters of mdoernity, that ‘they’ the forces of colonialism took Muslims out of the Dark ages etc. Much of it is vile, rascist, if not outright dangerous incitement.
One wonders, with all of Gilligan’s cut and pasting of the danger of ‘Islamists’, how does he manage to ignore the dangerous fascist islamaphobes right under his blog post, his dedicated followers? With his silence regarding them (in fact, it’s almost as if he writes FOR them – they are his dedicated followers after all), one can conclude this Gilligan chap approves of it all! The man dedicates his sleep hours for the Islamists and yet ignores the rascist fascists under his nose…speaks volumes.
By the way, from now on, whenever you see Gilligan on the street, be sure to pull out your mobile camera in his face…just to get on his nerves if nothing else!
Gilligan, 3 words for you – IN YOUR FACE!!!!! Did you really think that you could stop The Big Read from breaking the world record?!! Oh dear, it seems you still live in your own little bubble. When are you going to actually wake up and realise that the world thinks of you as nothing more than a piece of worthless rubbish. Most people see through your lies now, so i really think you should think of a career change now! Hey i heard that Tower Hamlets are looking to recruit street cleaners – i reckon that’s perfect for you!!! I’m sure Azad woudn’t mind giving you a supporting statement for that!!
Once again, Azad is back with another excellent blog! Keep ‘em coming (i think that’s the only thing that keeps Gilligan going – to know that you’re thinking about him :) )
The whole Dispatches documentary is based on the prejudices and ignorances of those behind it as well as the political motivation of particular individuals.
One of the thing you can notice from the Dispatches gutter journalism is that it gave a completely one-sided view while shutting off those it accused from being able to respond to the allegations. This is typical of a liar who does not want the accused answer to the lies being fabricated so that the lies ring true into people’s head.
The fact the Dispatchs employed the worst of gutter journalism by focusing on individuals giving “evidence” yet it never gave a single bit of airtime to IFE / LMC or even The Respect Party goes to show this “documentary” was utter gutter journalism to encourage prejudice and hate.
The funny thing is we are in the 21st century and people still live like cave men and have a fascination for “survival of the fittest” rather than working for the betterment of humanity!
This is the best blog iv ever read, I have never witnessed anyone so articulate in thier speech, dismiss the BASELSS allegations of Andrew gilligan, that was by far the worst produced documentary of channel 4 standards, Andrew needs to move on and not be narrrow minded and naive.
@adolf
Well said Adolf, Andrew never gives up, the more he comes back with new “links” the more he shoots his ownself in his foot, I think Andrew Giligan should be Awarded “worst Journalist reporter in history”
I’ve always loved and admired your effortlessly engaging and eloquent writing style! glad to see you are on form as ever! well done on always rising above the the bait-I’m guessing there is nothing more frustrating for your detractors than your constant good will and good temperament towards them!
The most amazing aspect of this whole kerfuffle is Gilligan’s motivation. It’s quite clear fame, heroism and foolishness played a big part in his drive to alienate you Muslims. I have close alliances with individuals in Channel 4. They’re paying him enough to pay for several hundred meals at Park Lane.
Now, I first thought how much has Quilliam Foundation played a part in this. The truth is it’s quite obvious they’ll be coming out the closet soon. My next hypothesis was that Channel 4 must have had a top-general from the ranks to influence and provoke the controversy. Who in which rank got involved? Well I got to say there have been quite a few people upset with the sole existence of Islamic Forum of Europe in the community of Tower Hamlets – the once upon a time Labour heartland. That’s right, Oona King! She is the head of Diversity at Channel 4. Ms King reports directly to the Chief Executive of the corporation.
What a surprise!
I love this title lol! I tell you there is a wolf there Gilligan, there is! The third little pig’s attacking him right now! Poor thing’s been having a rough day today, what with Little red riding hood having a go at him earlier..
There was a report done by Execter Uni on Islamophobia. It is a very detailed report we all should read, the link is below to the report
