1) That the Guardian failed to see that this would cause a storm. Their community were on it in seconds.

2) That the Guardian and Observer have continued to stir the shit, evade apology and blame everyone else. The whole affair passed me by until I read the Observer newspaper.

Among other things: “It says skins_blog in the url. This was put in as a working title, and we forgot to change it. My fault. No one from Skins approached me in order to get a bit of free publicity for the show.”
