The guy has speech writers on his permanant staff.

I'd rather have a letter, heartfelt, written by the man who is charge of this country, who has taken time out to write it, without the influence of spin doctors, speech writers or other govermental aids.

I suppose you would rather a non-descript typed letter (with perfect grammer and spelling) signed by the PM (or rather the PMs secretary?)

This whole episode saya more about the mother and and other people around this, than it does Brown
