The sun, Gordon Brown

I think its a disgrace a greiving mother would make a nasty story out of a private and personal letter. How dare she reveal the contents to the great unwashed.

I bet her son is proud. When I lost someone I was grateful for any letter anyone bothered to take the time to write.

I hate the sun newspaper with every ounce of my being.

If terrorists bombed their offices I would celebrate.

the sun is becoming a parody of itself.
there might almost be a john seargent/jedward effect here.
they might push the anti-brown line so far, that the british public votes for himself out of sheer bloodymindedness.

I love the Sun if only everybody read it what a wonderful world this would be.

rag of the lowest order.

Jon Gaunt is just a shambles of a human being.

The most pathetic thing of all is that the SUN were the strongest supporters of both the Iraq war and action in afghanistan.

they're almost making Brown look good by making ppl feel sorry for him.

Hand writing expert on 5Live explaining that Brown's handwriting was that of a man with poor vision as opposed to a bad speller.

Good to know media are focusing on what really matters.

Don't get it.** the paper off for being nasty then some moron posts this. You don't have to like them but the people who work there have familiers too

The people who work for that shambles would probably kill their families if it meant getting some sort of exclusive.

They have no morals whatsoever.

So you believe they only employ exclusive thirsty hacks

No cleaners, canteen staff, messengers, printers, drivers, night watchmen, security guys ??????

Yeah lets rope them all in together and have them executed

Eboue are you really Kelvin MacKenzie

anywon have any pop corn?

Dont over exagerate.

great post agree Gaunt is low life.

I wonder how much she got paid for this 'exclusive'?

I knew there were sensible people on this forum if I looked hard enough :)

So most of you think it's acceptable that our PM(that's the man supposedly running the country)cannot even spell properly or write for that matter,amazing.

edookayshun,edookayshun,edookayshun.cheers tone

the sun has sank to a new low, imo the pm took time to hand write that letter, why did the sun record that private call between the pm and mrs janes?? , gutter press at its worst !!!!

i,ll never buy the sun again dross

AGAIN??!! :_|

He can't do Arithmetic too.

wouldn't wipe my ar5e with it for fear the print would stick and people might get a bad impression

Isn't Gordon Brown blind in eye? If so I think you can forgive him the messy hand writing. At least he personally wrote the letter rather than just add his signature to something his PA might have typed.

ffs, i meant in one eye*

copied from another forum ..

She'd better not look on here

http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/tribute/janes/3162087/Memories

There's someone there who has hastily typed out a tribute to Jamie Janes with hardly any capital letters, has spelt cousin 'couisons', soldiers 'solidiers'

About half way down. I won't put the name of the person who wrote the tribute but needless to say there's some water-boiling equipment being given colour descriptions by pots...

i wonder what would have happened if blunkett were pm.

they wouldn't take the p.ss out f blunkett's handwriting - not in a national newspaper

Close one of your eyes and write something it makes c0ck all difference the man is an imbecile.

unfortunately he's losing sight in his other eye as well, so it's not just being blind in one eye. apparently most emails sent to him have to be sent in a ridiculously large font (we're talking 25+) so he can read them.

there are so many legitimate things you can attack brown over. this is not one of them. the only people who look bad from this are the sun and the soldier's mother (and she can be forgiven).

Meanwhile, back in Afganistan........................

quite av8

Should stick to t1ts, cartoons and three sentence long football reports

Mr Eboure is thick oh god ,, he has previous for this [ threatening to kill people ]


Reported again

Eboue - internet forums are scanned by MI5 computers.
Be careful what you write, even in jest.

What the hell you on about page 413 ffs?

I was joking.

Dont believe everything you read on here you thick prat.

You dont half post some utter tosh,his academic record is quite brilliant

Gordon Brown was fast-streamed through the school system, entering Edinburgh University at the age of just 16.

There, five years later, he upset the establishment by becoming elected rector - a post normally reserved for a distinguished public figure.

The saddest part is that the mother felt the need to press speakerphone and record the whole telephone conversation when brown rang her up.

I wouldn't have even thought about doing that unless she was tipped off and goaded by the sun into doing it, feel sure she hasnt done any of that off her own back like she tries to portray.

the mother appears to be an attention seeking old bag


i'm sorry she's lost her son - but this is ridiculus.


And - i wont be voting labour.

she is on newsnight now

she is an utter disgrace - utter disgrace

Agreed Charles 1980 - shameful

it is a bit sick putting her up against paxman. something of a non contest, though he was gentle

Yes lets put everyone who cannot spell to your satisfaction up against a wall & shoot them.


Most pathetic comment of the day imo.



I think you should have had a space after PM by the way.

That's not what I said is it you moron.

You need to get hold of the episode of Cracker where Robert Carlyle does exactly that.

Over-reaction to a single clumsy mistake !

SINGLE mastake i dont think so.

Shame on you Mr E. I know one person who works there and think it's disgusting that you would be celebrating if he were blown up.

The paper must employ thousands and for you to make such a sweeping generalisation is disgusting. As former players Ian Wright and Thierry henry also have / had columns in the paper, would you be celebrating their demise too?

As a response to the original post and it's theme, I too would have been pi55ed off to have received a letter with so many errors, especially re her surname and the correction to the boy's christian name. It gave the impression of it being a slap-dash, spur of the moment thing to do, that wasn't given much consideration, which I'm sure wasn't the case. Brown must has sufficient lackey's for one to have read through it, seen the errors and suggested it be re-written. However, by taping the phone call, it all seems rather pre-meditated and is now reflecting badly on her and losing her a lot of sympathy.

blox

the sun are to blame

it was nothing more than bad handwriting

the sun its offices and the people who work wherein would be no great loss

Bad handwriting, poor spelling and an complete insult to a kid thats laid down his life.

how so?

Didnt bother to check spellings, basically he's showed he doesn't care.

If he didn't care why write the letter? I don't think there are any mis-spellings - his handwriting's just that bad. He would have assumed, as would I, that the recipient would be more interested in the content and the fact that a serving PM had taken the time to hand-write a letter.

Do you think he would write like that if he took his time?, face it it was nothing short of a disgrace.

No, I imagine if he spent ages on writing letters he could be neater - I'd rather he didn't though. I still don't see what you find disgraceful about it. Were you aware he wrote to the families of servicemen before this story broke?

yes i was.

Judging by the state the country is in i very much doubt he spends much time on anything.

what state is the country in?

a very poor one.

compared to?

Monaco

compared to? why make comparisons we should set our own standards.

in a globalised economy?

Why did no one check the letter before it was sent?

Check for what?

Not just talking about the economy im talking about crime, drug use out of control and a lack of oppourtunites for school leavers

it is very simple. The Uk and US's population's wealth is in houses. No other countries have such a mental craze for owning property, and such loose lending by banks. This is what Brown is trying to protect, and he is doing a good job. I'd like to see if the tories will follow the same path when they come into power until the banking crisis levels out.

Mr Eboue 10 Nov 17:33

Interstingly Mr Eboue they had a cheif sub editor there a few years ago who murdered his wife for the insurance. He did his time inside then got his job back!

Problem being not many people actually own a house, yet.

right then
what is the alternative? Please give me a legal manifesto by any party that would run this country in a better fashion

My comments in my original post were a little over the top and I apologise for that.

However - I despise that outfit and I wouldnt shed a tear if their HQ was demolished.

I didnt say someone could run it better, but he needs to clamp down on things ship criminals out to other countries to do time, instead of JSA have people picking up litter and helping the elderly 2 days a week.

oppourtunites for school leaverst

is that a spelling mistake?

no you still get A*

as an old gag goes even spelling your name right takes you out of cretin class and into moron class or viky verky

Well done Mr E
