I can't buy that.
Noone is that busy they can't take a minute to re-read a letter give it to someone else to re-read. I'm sure if a suboordinate had made a similar mistake they would have been held to account for it.

George Bush used to get things like that wrong all the time - even the master orator Obama's had his moments. If Brown had wanted to be truly cynical, blase or just plain lazy he could just have left the whole matter to a secretary, simply signed the letter and thereby covered his posterior.
Whilst we'll have to agree to differ on this aspect, I certainly agree that had one of his minions caused this level of embarrassment they'd probably be in receipt of a nice new P45 right about now....
