Tim Yeo D-Day typo fails to amuse
The East Anglian Daily Times is calling for the Government to rethink its plans to mark the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy with a few streamers and maybe a tea-tent.
Sadly, Tim Yeo's contribution to the debate includes a typo that is in no way amusing, but still manages to robs his sound-bite of all its charm.
The quote is repeated below, with typo highlighted:
Suffolk South Conservative MP Tim Yeo said: "For quite a number of veterans, this is their last big anniversary realistically.
"I think it would be entirely appropriate there should be pretty substantial recognition of that. The 50 year anniversary was a big event bit I think it's right that they should be calling for it."
What a shame. That clipping would have looked jolly nice in the scrapbook, too…
I urge you all to get in touch with The East Anglian Daily Times and insist that they correct the error on their website post-haste. And reprint the corrected article. With a photo of Tim Yeo on the front page by way of apology.
