After dozens of copycat articles, hate mail and Twitter pile-ons, here's the Times, finally admitting that they got the story wrong. The original article has been quietly amended, and my letter is buried under a link, but here it is. Maybe those who were so quick to believe unfounded accusations will think twice before joining in next time...
@joannechocolat Having read up on the situation surrounding Clanchy being dropped by her publishers I was entirely prepared to defend what she did. But then she attacks you and it left me bewildered and sad.
@joannechocolat Good to see justice prevail. ❤️
@joannechocolat really glad they've finally printed the truth, although I wish they were required to do it more prominently!
@joannechocolat sorry to hear you’ve been through this, Joanne. The U.K. media are really something else.
@joannechocolat Christ that is shockingly bad misquoting on the part of what used to be a serious newspaper
@joannechocolat Sympathies. Abysmal performance from what used to be one of the better newspapers.
@joannechocolat Glad for you that the truth of the situation is finally out there. What an appalling thing to put someone through and selectively quoting like this. Confirms The Times is no newspaper of record. Love to you Joanne ❤️
@joannechocolat
The reporting on this has been appalling. This is justice of sorts, but inevitably the corrections don't get the traction the original story does. So sorry you've been put through this ... Sending love and hoping you and all your family have a peaceful Christmas x
