The sheep of the nation

Last Sunday a BBC news report told us that Gordon Brown had led the tributes to Robert Hamer, the Sunday Mirror journalist killed in Afghanistan.

It is good that the Prime Minister should pay his tribute, but I get really angry at the idea that he must always lead these things.

What about his family & friends, colleagues? Don’t they come first?

At least the BBC dropped this formulation in later bulletins.
