The Sun’s apology to the Lib Dem leader Tim Farron for mispelling his name ended on a cheeky note.
As Monkey pointed out on Thursday, the Sun managed to byline Farron’s prominent op-ed comment article “Tim Fallon”.
The Sun apology in its corrections and clarifications column on Friday said:
“Although the Lib Dems have slipped from the public eye in recent months, we should have managed to spell his name correctly. It is, of course, Tim Farron, not Fallon. We apologise to Mr Farron and our Lib Dem reader.”
Farron was sporting about the original error, jokingly saying Fallon was his pen name. He might be less happy about the additional insult.
