This week's magazine - An Apology
An apology
Yesterday the Spectator experienced production problems with this week’s issue.
This has unfortunately resulted in some errors: namely that the last two words ‘Middle East’ are missing from the William Shawcross article and the Michael Gove article, as featured on the front cover, was not included.
Please click on this link to view the Michael Gove essay.
Please accept our sincere apologies for these errors that have occurred. We at The Spectator wish you all a prosperous 2008

January 4th, 2008 9:27pmThose aren't the only errors.
For example, Taki's High Life piece and Jeremy Clarke's Low Life piece contain several identical paragraphs.

January 5th, 2008 10:50amYes, and we get Clemency Burton-Hill twice. Perhaps it's due to amazement that an actress can write so well. It really is stunningly incompetent that, having given themselves an extra week off (I'm sure that the Christmas issue never used to cover THREE weeks), the staff can't do better than this.

January 6th, 2008 11:34amMistakes I can bear. The all too deliberate publication of Notting Hill Nobody - surely the blandest satire ever published - is unforgivable.

January 7th, 2008 2:16amSir, I can live with the repeated features in your latest issue. Ditto the repeated paras in Taki and Jeremy Clarke. And I've always bitten my tongue and turned over quickly when arriving at the astonishingly sophomorish Tamsin Sommatwater... As for Tim Rice's unspeakably dull diary, I make no comment. (As indeed, should have he..) But ....what really pisses a man off, when reading ones favourite mag in the loo, is that when one rips out the totally useless calender thingy, the rest of the paper falls apart into... well, not a lot... Thank God for Basil Ransome- Davies, is all I can say... yours aye, David Rossiter

January 10th, 2008 8:12pmOverlapping paragraphs are one thing - but instead of improving, things have got worse. Now (January 10) both Jeremy Clarke's and Taki's pieces display only as blank pages!
