Re: Brown's apology
Since The Sun decided to switch allegiance its stuck the boot into Brown at every given opportunity to try to justify its position! In this instance its reaction is totally out of proportion. Yes there are mistakes in Brown's letter, and yes his writing style isnt great, but as we know, there are valid reasons for it. I certainly cant blame Mrs Janes for her reaction either, i'm not sure i wouldn't have reacted with even more venom if i was in the same position, but fortunately most of us are able to stand back from the issue and see both sides. Brown has sincerely apologised and i believe his letter too was a sincere attempt at communicating his sorrow to her. It does have the personal touch of someone who does actualy care.
It was interesting to watch "The One Show" last night with that smug "human rights expert" Adrian Childs dissecting Brown's letter and pointing out all the mistakes to the viewers. Childs then stated that Jamie Janes had died in Iraq, when obviously it was Afghanistan!! He apologised later in the show for "his" mistake! Didn't look so smug afterwards though!!
