Crocodile tears















I must admit I am struggling with this one - even by Gordon Browns' standards. 

Not the fact that a parent suddenly recalls the horror of having their childs medical condition plastered all over the front page of The Sun - but the fact Gordon Brown did nothing, absolutely nothing at the time to demand where the editor got her information and, if only for the sake of his child, insist she did not publish the story.

When the privacy of your own children and their medical condition takes second place to maintaining your relationship with a tabloid editor, who then dumps you and your party, there is only one overwhelming emotion still lingering five years down the line I suppose and it's a dish best served cold.

Perhaps Fraser Brown will forgive his father for this in years to come.
