Daley’s ‘apology’:
Michael Daley ‘apologises’
Daley ‘apologised’ and saying, “I could have expressed myself better” and “I could have chosen better words, there’s no doubt about that. No offence was meant, and I hope none has been taken”.
[But] Tim Soutphommasane criticised Mr Daley’s statement, saying ‘You should say you’re sorry, you should apologise’ [and] “It’s not necessary to add qualifiers along the lines of ‘if certain people were offended'”.

Comment: That isn’t an apology, it is a denial. ‘If’ people were offended? Of course they were! Look at the election result.
