Actress Emma Thompson has backtracked after mistakenly implying residents of Britain's Isle of Wight regularly "stone homosexuals".
In July, the Brit infuriated Isle of Wight residents after joking on America's The Late Late Show that they torture homosexuals on the island off the south coast of England.
She carried on the joke, adding: "I think they are still allowed to flog them, which some of them enjoy. I think they are allowed to shoot Irish or Scottish people if they arrive on the island - it is still in the rules, they are allowed to torture people. It's lovely, you should go."
Now the outspoken Oscar winner has attempted to make amends for her remarks, telling local council leader David Pugh she meant to single out the Isle of Man, in between Britain and Ireland, instead.
In an email to Pugh, she writes: "Thank you so very much for understanding that not only were my remarks on a late night comedy show (comedy being the operative word) but I also mixed up my islands - I think it was the Isle of Man that used to enjoy the privilege of being allowed to shoot Scotsmen if they appeared on the beach."...

The Isle of Wight Council has hit back at Emma Thompson after comments she made on the “Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson. The British actress, currently starring in “The Return of Nanny McPhee”, accused Isle of Wight residents of “stoning homosexuals”. She also said that Irish and Scottish people were shot if they arrived on the island. Although the actress was clearly speaking in jest politicians from the island have spoken out against her “outlandish” and “ridiculous” comments. The Isle of Wight is the largest of Britain’s islands located in the English Channel, off the south coast. An island representative, David Pugh said “It's a great shame that someone with her profile should make such ridiculous claims. “Presumably Emma Thompson made these comments to get some laughs on the chat show. “Her claims are 'Much Ado About Nothing' and as outlandish as some of the fiction...
