Gordon Brown

[tans]

I see he's been getting a slating this morning. I dont know whats worse, him making the mistake or the mother selling her story to the sun?

The letter just looks more like he's just got bad handwriting, than any real careless mistakes. Something that's not really that surprising considering he's half blind.

I thought it seemed like quite a nice letter.

Lets see if David Cameron does a better job when he becomes PM. BTW I detest Gordon Brown.

My favourite thing is that just above the circled "security" towards the end, it looks quite a lot like he's written "huge cunts".

[sonicyouth]

he's unfit to be prime minister because he's got bad handwriting and dodgy eyesight.

I think Tans called it right, I have every sympathy for the lady, but she is bang out of order in selling her story.  I listened to a handwriting analyist on the radio yesterday, he basically said there is very little wrong with it except damned bad handwriting!!  As for spelling her son's name wrong, just look at his signature. you'd be struggling to make Gordon out of that!!

Doesn't he write in marker pen or something?

I'm sure its a berol broad pen

Im glad someone brought this up

The mother is coming across terribly in my opinion - very bitter and twisted -Im not a huge supporter of the PM but If Mr Brown had typed the letter - that would have been wrong - too impersonal - but he tried his best to wrote a heartfelt letter at a sad time and yes he should have had someone proof read it but he didnt - hardly the end of the world - and as for taping the call.. well I sincerley hope she didnt receive any payment from the Sun for it

[Power to people]

And of course now the Sun has gone all tory they will take any swipe at labour that they can - newspapers should be non biased instrad just report the news, ok if Brown is doing a bad job then report it equally Cameron, but don't be biased towards one party.

If he turned up and saluted the boys back at Lyneham or Bassett, he wouldn't have to write any letters and instead speak to the parents personally.

Turning something which should be a respectul event into a political circus seems a bit of a blair/cameron style thing to do. I think the personal notes, which up until now nobody had made a big deal of him writing, seem much more considerate.

You can understand the mother wanting to lash out at the people she feels are in part responsible for her son's death. But for a newspaper to manipulate a mother's grief like that for the sake of cheap point-scoring is quite sick. And wholly in line with the Sun's previous form. Despicable shower of shite.

[magicroundabout]

i find the mother quite disgusting in all this that she has made a big deal about it all and even more so the sun for following it up.

Would she rather GB not bother writing a letter at all.

I know he's not the best PM but give the guy a break. so what if he can't spell properly and his hand writing is shit

[suttonred]

I normally let these threads pass by, but FFS disrespectful?, is it hell, at least he tried and didn't get some minion to type a letter up, so what if he cant spell. She's the disrespectful one selling souls for cash.
