Gordon Brown uses memory of dead child to help win election

I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing on News 24 just now. They kept showing shots of his wife in the audience whilst he was talking, and she was constantly darting furtive glances sideways at the camera.

What happened to the unwritten rule that they would not use their families to gain political advantage?

I cannot think of a thing more private than grief of a lost child. The man has no shame. Utterly utterly despicable.

Couldn't agree more. Sympathy vote now is it? No shame indeed.
