Firstly, I think Gordo is an incompetent nincompoop who should not be allowed into the House of Frazer with his pocket money, never mind the Commons.
Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostAs regards his "hastily written sympathy letter", the guy just can't win. If he doesn't write (as George W. Bush never did), then he's accused of not caring. If he writes, but it's a typed letter that he signs, he's going to be accused of delegating it to someone else, and he probably didn't even sign it himself, etc. etc. If he writes a handwritten letter, then he's damned because his handwriting isn't neat. That's how he writes, though. It's not a lack of caring, or any less, it's how the guy writes, FFS..
I was amazed to discover he makes the time to write these letters.
I think the mother was just demonstrating grief when she complained - he even spoke to her to apologise, FFS - and the media used it to take an easy shot at him.
But then, that's all our media is for for, isn't it? No arguments, no debate, no "educate and inform". Just X Factor, partially exposed tits and cheap shots. They're the real tulipbags.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Of course he cares. How could you not care?
Please try and make a distinction between your feelings on his handling of the economy and GB as a man.+50 Xeno Geek Points

He's on a bit of a hiding to nothing speaking on the phone to a mother grieving over the death of a son. I'd say he got off lightly.Comment
