You all seem to be forgetting that the man is has only one eye and according to some he has failing sight in the other. Whilst the mother has every right to be upset at the death of her son, would she rather it wasn't a personal message of condolence from the Prime Minister, or that it was a stock letter from a some flunky at the ministry of defence? I am pretty sure that the Prime Minister is stuck between a rock and a hard place here. He would have been damned if he didn't and damned if did.

On anther note, I am pretty sure that his sort of thing is not first time this has happened to them. Their son is called James "Jamie" Janes, when she was reading out the name on the video, I could not discern her speech differences from "Janes" and James." It is entirely possible that the Prime Minister was told that his name was Jaimie James.
