Nina-Babington-Browne
puts Gordon Brown under the spotlight over Afghanistan
by Helen Fairley
The mother of a soldier who died while serving in Afghanistan
thanked Gordon Brown for a letter of condolence he had sent
her.
Nina Babington-Browne's, whose son Capt Ben Babington-Browne
died in July following a helicopter accident in Zabul province, had
a private meeting with the Prime Minister before the KM Group's
exclusive question and answer session began.
She was the first member of the audience to quiz him and started
by telling him the handwritten letter, signed by Mr Brown and his
wife Sarah, was "kind and thoughtful".
Mr Brown’s appearance in Maidstone came as The Sun was running
critical stories about spelling mistakes in a letter sent to
another grieving mother, Jacqui Janes.
But Mrs Babington Browne did take the opportunity to ask testing
questions of Mr Brown - watch our video to see her put him under
the spotlight and hear her reaction.
