Steve Moxon
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In a news item on 11 March we reported that Steve Moxon "had called for Islamic fundamentalists 'to be silenced by nuclear weapons'." However, Mr Moxon has told us that the full e-mail, sent to the BBC programme Panorama in 2001, makes it clear that he was not actually advocating the use of nuclear weapons against Islamic fundamentalists. We have also been asked to clarify that he is not facing any disciplinary action except over the leak of the covert "fast track" immigration policy, and that the fathers' rights group he belongs to is the civil rights group, Mankind. Philip Hensher, in his column of 12 March, incorrectly said Mr Moxon was already a serving civil servant when he sent e-mails to Panorama. Mr Moxon also tells us that he is in favour of immigration and Mr Hensher's comments therefore misjudged his views on the subject. We are happy to make the position clear on these points.
