Over the death of a serviceman and a letter to his father.
The father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan received a condolence letter from the Prime Minister last month – almost two years after his son died.
Trooper Jack Sadler, 21, of the Honourable Artillery Company, was killed on December 4, 2007, when his vehicle was hit by a blast in Helmand Province.
But his father Ian said he received a handwritten letter from Gordon Brown only on November 17 2009.
Another example of our governments treatment of servicemen, servicewomen and families
Pure and utter contempt.

I work in a busy office and shit happens. Letters that should have gone out get stuck in a tray only to be found much later.
We then have to take a view: what damage has been done by not sending the letter and will now sending the letter rectify that damage, or do we just file it in the little circular filing cabinet.
Let's face it - these letters of condolence are not for the family's benefit are they? I doubt the Gordo's words would have salved trooper Saddler's family's grief and I do not envisage that they were waiting for the postman each morning.
This is one of two things. Someone in the Gordo's lair not having the sense to realise that sending a letter of condolence two years late would only serve to inflame the public ire; or

Oedi,
So do you think then that maybe a darker hand was at play.
Maybe an attempt to further reinforce those who inside the Labour pParty want to Gorgon out with an impending GE.
Good Call !!!!!
