Quote:
“political blog 'pickled politics' on der berks so-called 'apology'...
...others have argued that Anton Du Beke should not be sacked, because he apologised for the use of ‘P**i’, and because it wasn’t meant in a malicious way. I have some sympathy for the latter, but what most people seem to have missed is that Mr. Du Beke did not apologise. He issued a non-apology.
A non-apology is a device that came to prominence during the Blair years, when a minister or senior Labour figure had to resign. The non-apology does not contain any actual apology for the person’s behaviour, but rather expresses regret that others have been offended. Thus, as Peter Oborne put it, we were treated to the surreal sight of people resigning while confessing that they had done nothing wrong.
Let’s examine Mr. Du Beke’s words:
“I do not use racist language.”
i.e. I did nothing wrong, and ‘P**i’ is not racist.
“I apologise unreservedly for any offence my actions might have caused.”
i.e. I’m sorry other people were offended.
Note that there is no actual apology for saying ‘P**i’, merely an apology that others are offended by such language.”
