Jan Moir today issued an apology regarding her article on the death of Stephen Gateley. Moir had been accused of homophobia and over 20 000 complaints were received by the press complaints commission.
"I am so sorry.... that I bothered to make this half hearted apology. I would like to apologise to Stephen Gateley's family, but only because they have made a formal complaint against me. I would also like to apologise for the complete lack of sincerity in my apology."
The Daily Mail columnist also said that she was part of a silent majority. Indeed this majority must be extremely silent as only Ms Moir can here them. Following the storm the newspaper has deployed her in a position for which her talents are perfectly suitable.
She is now cleaning the toilets at the paper's headquarters. If she does a good job they promise to give her a broom.
