Iraq War Hero 'Wanted To Knock Out Brown'

Dont blame the lad. I am no hero like Johnson Beharry but If i met Brown i would want to do the same.

Quote:

War hero Johnson Beharry has revealed he snubbed the Prime Minister and wanted to "knock him out" because he did not show enough respect for the armed forces.

Quote:

The Victoria Cross winner said he refused to shake Gordon Brown's hand during a Remembrance Day service in November.

Quote:

He said the Prime Minister also seemed "totally disinterested" at a Downing Street reception for servicemen a year earlier.

"This is nothing to do with the election, or who I want to be PM. My problem is with him personally, Gordon Brown the man," he added.

Mr Brown has written to L/Cpl Beharry to "reassure him of his personal admiration and great respect in which he is held by the whole country," his official spokesman said.

Hard to argue with him as most of us would like to knock gordon brown out for a lot of things he has done or been a big part of.

But let's not forget that Gordon has 'nothing but praise' for our armed forces and has never turned down a request for more equipment/resources....

Gordon Brown like all other MPs are in it to line their own pockets only.

chris, I have to disagree - I think that quite a few may be, but quite a few are in it because they believe in what they do; unfortunately, they have been tarred with the same brush.

For once he was being truthful when he said that. All he has for them is praise, empty it may be, and about as useful as a chocolate teapot too.
