Sorry seems to be the hardest word

When is an apology not an apology? When it's published by the Daily Heil. Criticised by the BBC's Robert Peston over a story about his late wife's cancer, the rag decided to respond with something that read more like a justification than an admission of wrongdoing, and that ended with two utterly irrelevant paragraphs apparently accusing Peston of supporting "state-sponsored regulation of the press". Still, it's not as though we've come to expect any better.
