Did you actually think about that before you typed it? Some people have neat handwriting, some don't. Dry your eyes.

The mock-outrage seen here of late is just boring.

And you've mispelled "knob".

At first, you do give Brown the benefit of the doubt as it's his eyes, and everything... but for fcuks sake, he spelt the guys name wrong and he over-wrote it and carried on leaving the mistake in there.

To my mind, no PM should send a half-arsed letter out containing such a textual error... we can get past the bad eyes and bad writing, the 'damned if he writes, damned if it's typed' argument... but how long does it take you to scrap that sheet and start again?

The letter looks f'n terrible... How is that supposed to help the family? I'd feel offended receiving that!!!

IMHO

It's OK, I stopped at home

Source?

In the terms of Mrs Thatcher she wrote to the family of a colleague who was killed in NI. I understand it is something that has continued since.

I just called, to say...

The thing is, him saying he 'meant no offence' by mis-spelling Jamie Janes' name has nothing to do with it. The fact he didn't bother to double check it, or have someone else check it is the bad bit. You'd think though, if your child DIED for their country, that if you were going to write a letter of condolence, you would make damn sure that you at least got their name right!


I have s*** handwriting, doesn't mean I'm disrespectful

WAS ON THE NEWS BROON is the only Pm who hands writes to the families of the fallen.

Nor has he got any dress sense or style.

How low can this bunch of idiots sink?

The mong looks like he's about to expire.

Yeah, bastard PM hand-writing a letter to the family of a fallen soldier. How dare he.

Oh, the irony.

You clearly hate the Armed Forces.
Are you wearing a poppy? Have you had one stapled to your forehead to ensure you are never without. You're just showing your contempt if you haven't.

Give the poor man a break - he is going blind, has one eye and he can barely see the letter never mind spell correctly.

Gordon's eyesight is degrading quite fast now and he may go blind. Poor man.

Woohoo!

And to take nothing away from his Mum's loss, she was so upset about the letter that she had to go right to The Sun with it?

I can imagine the size of Brown's in-tray. Perhaps some would prefer this understandably busy man to sign perfectly typed, perfectly spelled form letters? For all his faults, he's damned for taking the trouble to pen individual letters to the bereaved but would probably be damned much more if he didn't. I wonder how many on here still take the time to write several letters per day by hand?

Yeah, clearly. What's your phone number? I'll ring you up and apologise.

Fucking e-police.

So you are saying it's 'bad' when Brown misspells his name, but acceptable when you do? I'm being a pedant, but you and all the hand-wringers aren't?

With the UK's wonderful H&S laws should he even be allowed out running with one eye blind and the other on it's way to joining it?

That's OK the close support officer has a piece of string around his knackers that he pulls when he wants him to change direction (it's the same bit of string Mandlebum uses when instructing him)
