Quote

Downing Street has defended the way the prime minister writes to bereaved families after a dead soldier’s mother said Gordon Brown misspelled his name. 



Guardsman Jamie Janes, 20, from Brighton, East Sussex, was killed in an explosion in Afghanistan in October. 



The Sun newspaper said his mother Jacqui had described Gordon Brown’s letter as a &quot;hastily scrawled insult&quot;.

The Glasgow North East bye-election, brought about by the resignation and elevation of the former Speaker, will soon be upon us.

How has this bloke got away with the gold reserves scandal? 



He sold nearly 400 tonnes of OUR gold at $275 an ounce. 



It closed today at $1048 an ounce which means this twat has cost this country £5 BILLION!!!! 



I am staggered that this does not get enough of an airing





I also note he told Shaun the other morning he would be prepared to sell off 'OUR' assets to get us out of trouble !! </description>
