A recent column said that EU regulations prevent the Women’s Institute from selling jam in re-used jars. In fact the rules apply only to commercial food businesses.
The 'recent column' was written by Richard Littlejohn and was mentioned on this blog on Tuesday.
This correction was published (at time of writing) ten hours ago on the Mail's website. But they haven't bothered to edit the original column - the incorrect claim remains there, and this correction hasn't been added to article. It doesn't appear anywhere on today's Littlejohn column either, so his regular readers may not even realise this has been corrected.
Moreover, the original news article, which made the same false claims back in October, remains live on their website and has never been removed or edited or corrected.
In the circumstances, it might make sense if they acted in some way over the original and then apologised for giving their readers the same, untrue information twice.
