Nob Brown-mis-spelled dead Soldiers name in letter to family

**ash_p** · 09-11-2009, 14:24

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!

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

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.

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)
