Brown's letter clouds the issue

If Gordon Brown's letter to Jamie Janes' mother had been beautifully handwritten would it really have made a difference to this poor grieving woman.
Her reaction is understandable but I'm sure this is not the first time that he has mis-spelled something in a personal letter to a bereaved relative.

Interestingly this is the first time someone has complained in public. Again, her anger is understandable but it's clear it is not really about the letter. It's about the tragic loss of her son.
Brown's real crime is not his handwriting or spelling - it's the fact that he is unwilling to bring the boys back home or give them the equipment to do the job properly.
Let's not lose sight of that.
