Hmm! I could not call myself an expert on any of the subjects that Jack mentions, but a do know a great deal about The Gambia and I know that the article on the politics of that country that appeared in the same edition as the morris article was full of inaccuracies.

One small point in favour of the morris article; it is in their Shortcuts series which regular Guardianistas will know are piss-takes in an attempt to be what they would call "funny".
