I...Exactly, so I think your title is misleading. I'm worried that people might see a tweet and think Coleman had apologized. <br /><br />He did not say sorry, he obviously is not sorry for what he said and probably doesn't even understand why people are offended. <br /><br />It's shocking that an elected official can put out a message like this. He says the message was prompted by a ruling, and he only apologizes for any offence, ie for other people's reaction to his insults. But even so, an apology that doesn't include any remorse, admission of wrongness or the words "I'm sorry for what I did" is NOT an apology.JVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584836082134139788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-67754851286671502232012-10-31T09:43:00.642+00:002012-10-31T09:43:00.642+00:00Mrs Angry never resorts to the practice of satire,...Mrs Angry never resorts to the practice of satire, JVK: this is unnecessary, in Broken Barnet, where life is lived far beyond the limitations of irony.<br /><br />Yes, that is the 'apology', in his own words. The lack of sincerity is apparent not only in the cursory tone but in the appalling grammar, which gives the impression of deliberate lack of care.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-55214957175454228802012-10-31T09:10:41.297+00:002012-10-31T09:10:41.297+00:00Is that the content of his apology or are you bein...Is that the content of his apology or are you being satirical? <br /><br />If he wrote that, then it is not an apology at all. He is apologizing for the effect of what he said, rather than actually being sorry for what he thought and said.JVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584836082134139788noreply@blogger.com
