El Gordon does it again, or rather he doesn't. The unelected dour PM stated that:
GORDON BROWN’S pledge to honour members of the public for heroism during terrorist attacks has been labelled a sham after dozens of civilians who went to the rescue of the 7/7 bombing victims were snubbed for awards.
Pleas to honour ordinary civilians have been rejected as undeserving - even though more than two dozen public sector staff, some of whom were doing desk jobs, have been honoured for their conduct on 7/7.
Martin Bell, the former independent MP who has called for a review of the honours system, said: “It is the usual - senior people are rewarded and the little guys are not.”
Brown made the pledge last July at the launch of a book he wrote on heroism, titled Britain’s Everyday Heroes. He said: “It is right that we look at how our honours system can recognise those in our emergency services and members of the public who showed such bravery and heroism in the face of the recent terrorist attacks.”
Truly a chicken amongst men.
