| For the recordSunday January 27, 2008 The Observer 'Violence fear over Islam film' (World, last week), inadvertently said Geert Wilders was one of nine members of the extremist VVD (Freedom) party in the 150-seat Dutch lower house. We meant the PVV (Party for Freedom), which Wilders founded after he left the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). An agency picture of 7/7 bomber Shehzad Tanweer, used on the cover of The Observer Magazine last week, was supplied with an incorrect caption, which we repeated. We said Tanweer was a 'sports sciences student at Leeds University'; he actually studied at Leeds Metropolitan University. Apologies. 'Doctors "must own up to blunders"' (News, last week) called MSSA (methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus) 'a variant of the MRSA superbug', which it is not; it is treatable with standard antibiotics, but not resistant to them like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). And it's Leslie, not Lesley, 'Did Lesley Ash deserve £5m?' (The Observer Panel, last week). Captions to pictures of Olga Mamonova and Aizel Trudel were transposed in 'How Russia's new super-rich are buying cool' (Observer Woman, No. 25). Apologies. 'What do I do with my Lantern roses?' asked a heading in The Observer Magazine, last week. We meant Lenten roses. · Write to Stephen Pritchard, Readers' Editor, The Observer, 3-7 Herbal Hill, London EC1R 5EJ, tel 020 7713 4656 or email reader@observer.co.uk Printable version | Send it to a friend | Clip | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
