Clarifications & corrections
In Amanda Platell’s column on June 27, it was stated that the Cambridge academic Professor Priyamvada Gopal was attempting to incite an aggressive and potentially violent race war, and that she supports and endorses the subjugation and persecution of white people. Such comments were based on a tweet purportedly by Professor Gopal, which we have subsequently learnt was fake. The statement was therefore false. We also partially quoted another tweet from Professor Gopal as saying: ‘White lives don’t matter.’ The tweet in fact continued: ‘As white lives.’ Professor Gopal’s actual view is that all lives should be valued. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise for any distress caused. We have agreed to pay her damages for libel.
