Clarifications & corrections
ON MAY 30 we published a commentary on an article by Lynn Barber for the Sunday Times Magazine, which detailed her experience of opening her home to a Sudanese asylum seeker, Mohammed. We have since been asked to make clear that, contrary to our piece, Mohammed did not receive £35 per week from the Home Office, that he denies placing a folder of pornographic images on Ms Barber’s computer and that his father had three wives and 15 children. We are happy to set the record straight.
