Gin trap at the Elephant

From Ms Jen Murray Sir: May I ask John Linklater why, if the politicians at the Elephant and Castle took an unfair advantage of the BMA representatives by pouring gin into their empty stomachs (July 27), we should believe they were in a fit state to recall the proceedings to a journalist?
