George Eaton Apology
In April 2019, Eaton published an article in the New Statesman based on an interview he had had with conservative philosopher Roger Scruton, in which he claimed Scruton had made a number of racist remarks. He quoted Scruton as describing the “invasion of huge tribes of Muslims from the Middle East”, and how “each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one”.
The article led to Scruton being removed as a government adviser. In response, Eaton posted a photograph to his public Instagram account showing him drinking from a bottle of champagne with the caption, “The feeling when you get right-wing racist and homophobe Roger Scruton sacked”.
Various figures criticized Eaton claiming he had mischaracterized Scruton’s comments. Eaton apologized for the Instagram post but defended the interview. Several months later he was demoted.
The New Statesman also apologized to Scruton later, saying that partial quotations used to promote the article did not accurately represent his views.
