Gordon Brown is partially sighted and makes some mistakes in his hand written letter of condolence to the family of Guardsman Jamie Janes, killed on active service.
Yes this is a bad mistake to make from the perspective of the parents but in our rush to jump on the the ‘lets kick Gordon’ bandwagon we should pause. Gordon Brown took the time to hand write the letter and when the mistake was discovered, called the family to apologise.
Did the Sun really need to be involved, is this a sign of disrespect, no. Gordon Brown is responsible for a lot and needs to be held accountable but this is a mistake from a partially sighted man with a lot on his plate.
The latest revelations reveal a recording of the telephone conversation, this is even more shameful of the Sun to exploit a grieving mother to further their agenda.
