Embarrassing apology pt. 94

As retractions go, this one is pretty comprehensive:

SURREY Police have not blamed gipsies for an attack on their force helicopter, no staff in their operations rooms were threatened by gipsies and no gipsy site was being targeted for a raid as we reported on May 14.

We apologise for the mistakes and are happy to set the record straight.

The Sun, spreading false rumours about "gipsies"? Never!
