This is what I love about the press. Their ability to twist something and make a reasonable situation sound unreasonable. I feel sorry for the agency guy who got sacked now, as he was obviously using his common sense, that allowing a man to be carried down by his mates who had been drinking, was not safe. Also if there were to be a fire, he would have been up shit creak without a paddle, as I bet his mates wouldn't be able to carry him back up with a screaming mob around them.
The moral of this story is... never take the press at face value, but look for the truth.
