Does one feel sorry for this hypocrite who shed crocodile tears over the death of his baby daughter.
Normally I would say yes for a person in these circumstances, but in his case, not one bit.
This is the man who sends young men & women to their deaths almost on a daily basis, without showing the same emotion.

I feel very sorry that Gordon & Sarah Brown's first baby Jennifer died, along with many other parents who go through the same heartache & emotions - and as did a very close friend of mine, three times..
However, the interview on the Piers Morgan show, is very good timing & no doubt will pull at the heartstrings of gullible people, to leave them thinking that he's a thoroughly nice bloke & is a good Prime Minister - but I don't share their views.

It would appear, that perhaps I worded my question wrongly, and it obviously sounded all wrong to some, for which I apologise for.
I mistakenly thought that my middle paragraph, explained where I was coming from.
What I meant to say was that Brown is a hypocrite because, he can shed a tear of emotion over his own on national television, yet can stand up at PMQT most weeks, and announce the deaths of others, (for which he is personally responsible for).with no emotion whatsoever, after all they are someone's children also.
But this did not stop the usual rude and offensive individuals from spitting out their usual bile, to those they disagree with. So for the record this apology is not aimed at them, but to other more balanced persons, who might have read into my question something that wasn't intended.

Brilliant is that really a promise?
It's a start, perhaps you and others will also consider not answering anyone else's, only the one's of offensive individuals such as you.

As much as I don't like his politics and don't rate his as a PM, I don't dislike Brown. He seemed perfectly genuine when getting upset about his daughter. I would put more trust in Brown (as a person) than I would the Slimy Cameron. Give the bloke a break. He's a human being. He was talking about his personal life at this point, why should be be considering those lost in Iraq etc.
I wouldn't doubt for one minute losing a baby caused Gordon Brown enormous distress.
However it's the timing and necessity of it that gets my goat.
Politicians have made us all a cynical lot through their shady antics.
If he had wanted to talk about his tragic loss why not wait until he was no longer in office so there was no apparent motive to talk about it then.

I bet SP1814 is annoyed at being missed off the list.....

Well done for apologising and clarifying your point.
Sending people who have made a decision to join the army off to war is pretty different from the loss of a child due to cystic fibrosis.
There have also been less than 300 deaths in 9 years (an average of 30 deaths a year) - that is a pretty 'clean' war by anyone's standards.
Out of curiosity, were you on the anti War marches?

a prime minister is not 'personally responsible' for every soldier who dies in a conflict begun by his predecessor, any more than he is personally responsible for people dying on the roads, for heavy snowfalls, or for the rubbish on TV.
It doesn't surprise me that you find anyone who disagrees with your views 'offensive' but if you're that offended, why don't you emigrate to another website?
