We all have total compassion for anyone who loses a child, it must be terrible, as any bereavement is terrible. As someone who has experience of bereavement in as much as three of my family died nearly at the same time, may I just say, if I were a politician, the last thing I would have wanted to do was talk about it on national tv., particularly just before an election. What good or comfort can it possibly do or bring, to parade your pain before millions?

If the point is not to elicit sympathy, I cannot see what is the point. Nobody wants to judge someone who has endured bereavement harshly, but I do find it totally incomprehensible. Mr. Cameron has born the same sorrow and sometimes we don’t make enough allowances for the effect it must be having on him inside. The full effect of grief doesn’t really filter through until one to two years after the event, you are in shock up until that time, and can’t feel anything. But never, ever have I heard of it helping anyone who has lost someone to discuss it with someone like Piers Morgan on a tv. show. Discuss it sure, with a bereavement counsellor, but Piers Morgan? In public?

I am certainly prepared to believe, if Gordon and Mrs. Brown say so, that it is not to elicit sympathy, but I do wonder, if not that, then why?

Heard a program on R4 in the last couple of weeks about the red tape and hassle the injured and mutilated soldiers have trying get any financial support or care. There are about 3 gov agencies involved neither talk to each other and despite a spokesman from gov who said the usual “We’ve learnt from our mistakes, we’re having a review blare blare blare” the poor bas*tards a still treated a lot worse than the 2 million who can’t be bothered to get a job over the last 10 years( I do not include people who have lost their job due to banking crisis). 255 now killed in Af ganistan to date and we do not know how many have been injured, this must become a priority to give these forgotten the maximum support and cut out the f*cking red tape! its the very least we can do.

I’ve said this before on this site, Selly Oak Hospital ( next door to Cadbury’s by the way)and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital are looking more and more like an army camp every day. The staff are doing a great job there and if people want to help then contact your local British Legion, they will help you if you want to fund raise or just send on your support. Send them a pack with a book, bar of chocolate, toiletries, writing paper etc anything to make them feel human again and not forgotten.

Give Gordoom his due. He KNOWS there are enough thickies out there to vote him in again, or at least hold Dave to a hung parliament. I’ve met (in Hull) young people who cannot speak properly and communicate through a series of grunts only their friends can understand. I’m not saying it’s their fault and I’m not saying they’re ALL stupid. They’re not. I had a 17 year old lad come to me for a job and he couldn’t spell his own surname. He had intelligence and obvious initiative, but our ‘education system’ has clearly failed in the way Nuliabour always wanted it to.
