Two weeks ago Channel 4 News’ Cathy Newman sparked a lot of interest when she claimed she had been “ushered out” of an Islamic Centre in South London on ‘Visit My Mosque Day’. She has today retracted the allegation:

1/4 I have written to South London Islamic Centre and offered my sincere apologies for tweets sent in haste after I visited there in error.

2/4 I accept my tweets were inappropriate and regret the use of the word “ushered”.

3/4 My language was poorly chosen and has caused a great deal of offence. I deeply regret that this happened.

4/4 I shall now be taking a break from Twitter.

— Cathy Newman (@cathynewman) February 12, 2015

But was she ushered out of Twitter?
