After last week’s goings-on with Gary Lineker, you’d imagine plenty of people will have wanted to give The Sun‘s editor-in-chief an earful.
Incredibly, that situation presented itself today as Tony Gallagher answered a series of questions posed to him on Twitter. Sure, few of them were the questions most people wanted answering, but beggars can’t be choosers.
Following Gallagher’s failure to provide a direct answer to the following question, the #asktonygallagher hashtag was set up.

As you can probably guess, it wasn’t Gallagher himself who was responsible.

Of course, some of the same questions arose, and were met with silence.

As well as some more rhetorical offerings.

But soon we got onto the really hard-hitting stuff.
#askTonyGallagher Do you think the Orangutan chauffeur in Cannonball Run 2 was a bit far fetched?

But Gallagher was happy to give his two cents on a number of other matters.

Still, at the time of writing, he is yet to provide an answer to the following.
Do you remember the last time you thought you had a shred of credibility left? #asktonygallagher #dontbuythesun

Maybe he missed that one because it didn’t use the hashtag.
