Times (UK) apologizes for saying the Bishop of Southwark was drunk
We were wrong to say in our headlines (yesterday, front page and page 4) that the report of Judge Rupert Bursell QC into a complaint of drunkenness against Dr Tom Butler, the Bishop of Southwark, had concluded that Dr Butler was drunk.
Judge Bursell did not hear any evidence or reach any conclusions as to the truth of the complaint. We apologise to Dr Butler for the distress and embarrassment this must have caused him. Link
The Guardian has a story up about this. Geez, quite the week for UK newspaper apologies…
