Paraphrasing parts of it
1. She's not be manipulated by the media but they are mis-representing her
2. She's not being political and not trying to paint Brown as insensitive.
3. She accepts Brown is sorrry but wishes he handled it differently
4. Pushed hard on the lack of resources
5. Doesn't feel Brown knows what its like to lose an adult child although she conceeds he does know how it feels to lose a young child (as does she apparently)
6. She's setting up a fund for her son to provide squaddies with equiptment so they don't have to buy.
7. Claims all other mums who have lost sons are behind her.
8. Went into a lot of details about Jamie Janes which I feel was entirely unnecessary.
