to say that he has to use other ways to write when doing something personally makes my blood boil
he was not setting out policy or negotiating a deal he was just sending his personal condolences
Some have seen fit to exploited this grieving Lady who at that moment would have been upset by what ever means He ha written to her as she obviously feels her son should have not been there and been safer if he was which is understandable
but hey maybe we should make it law that dyslexics must use computers to communicate an that people with less than 20/20 vision should not be allowed to manage anything
i did warn i bite on that subject  |
Perhaps you should direct your bite to those villifying Brown
I've already covered the 'handwritten' aspect and neither you or I know what approach previous PMs took to the writing of such letters. I've also already stated here that I don't think he meant any offence or was being uncaring and that the Sun is simply using this as a stick to beat him with, quite unjustifiably. However, as has been shown, offence was caused to the person who matters most of all - the recipient of that letter and all that could have been avoided if the PM and his advisors thought a tad more about what he'd written and how it was presented. It's nothing to do with the PM being partially sighted, it's about him contemplating the reaction of someone whose child has just been blown up serving the country he's running. IMHO her feelings should come first, not Mr Brown's...
