An Unprofessional Letter
Gordon Brown has difficult things to do and especially nothing is more difficult than dealing with death. I know from awful personal experience, how you can upset some people by making one simple mistake in a letter or an e-mail.
He has caused a lot of hurt and stored a hornet’s nest with his letter to the mother of Jamie Janes. But as a son of a Church of Scotland minister, he would have had no intention of causing any distress.
When I write an important note, I always use a computer and write and rewrite sections until I get everything exactly as I want it. I know it is tradition that notes of this nature are handwritten by Prime Ministers, but I know that I would not hand write such notes.
My handwriting is very poor! And so is Gordon Brown’s.
What I would do is write ninety percent on a computer and put a strong personal touch in by hand. That way, the letter would be exactly right.
Brown was just very unprofessional. Do we really need an unprofessional Prime Minister? I’m afraid not!
