Bomb Scare? What Bomb Scare? - An Apology


Last week we reported that Bute was rocked to the core recently when an atomic bomb which had been hidden underneath the pier detonated, killing 1,700 and injuring many more.


It was later revealed that there was no bomb planted at the pier, there was no atomic explosion and that nobody was killed or injured by this non-existent explosion. In actual fact, it transpires that the above story was completely fictional.


We at Bute News would like to apologise for any distress and mental anguish we may have caused with our desire to be first with breaking news. This endless pursuit of meeting deadlines before establishing truth caused us to run with a story which wasn't properly checked or sourced.


Although we were wrong this time, we at Bute News are always on the ball when it comes to reporting local news. All our readers can rest assured that if an atomic bomb does detonate on Bute in the future, you'll hear about it first through Bute News.
