I am not a fan of Gordon Brown but I have some sympathy for him following an outburst of bad press concerning the letter of condolence he sent to the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan in which he spelled his surname incorrectly.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the war in Afghanistan, it seems to me that the mistake was unfortunate but hardly ‘disrespectful’ or an ‘insult’ as described by his grieving mother. It was a mistake for heavens sake.
Brown has to be given credit for taking the time out of what must be an horrifically busy schedule to sit and write by hand such letters as this.
So, maybe, he could be forgiven for making a mistake now and again.
