snp mp mgarry offers apology to settle lawsuit over ‘holocaust denier’ tweetSuspended SNP MP, Natalie McGarry, has publicly apologized and confessed to have made a “serious mistake” when she accused a pro-union campaigner, Mr Cameron, of being an “outed Holocaust denier” on social media. While accepting the apology, the director of the campaign group Scotland in Union, Alastair Cameron, agreed to legal costs and a charitable donation to be provided by McGarry as both parties settled legal proceedings out of court.

The apology published by McGarry on Twitter said that “on 6th March I tweeted that the Scotland in Union was headed by an ‘internet troll’ and an ‘outed Holocaust denier’. I made a serious mistake and accept there is no truth to those statements and apologise unreservedly to Mr Cameron for any distress caused.” Whereas, the alleged £10,000 payment is reportedly going to be sent to three charities including Combat Stress, Aegis Trust and Lumos after covering Cameron’s legal costs.

In response to the apology and settlement of the case, Cameron alleged that “I am pleased to accept this apology from Ms McGarry and draw a line under this unfortunate incident. The payment Ms McGarry has agreed to make will go to three excellent charities which I have been involved with and I am delighted that some good will now come of this.”  He stated that “politics in Scotland invokes passion and strong opinion on all sides, particularly on social media. I hope this serves as a reminder to us all that we need decency and respect in our debate, whether we agree with people or not.”
