A little? Jeez, even I'm feeling sorry for him. Apparently *Tory MPs* are feeling sorry for him.

If the Sun gave a toss about our soldiers as opposed to getting a pliant government into power that owes them one and will faithfully emasculate the BBC, they'd examine exactly why they're out there* and whether they're doing any good at all. A lot of this poppy-plastering nonsense is a kind of suppressed guilt. Not very psychologically healthy, Britain.
* Because the US are there, and to stop Pakistan becoming a nuclear-armed fundamentalist Sunni theocracy bordering nuclear armed India. Ironically if Brown had the balls to point out the second part, he might have more backing, rather than pretending that it's about security on the streets of the UK.
