BROWN BOOED ON OBAMA BEACH...

The veterans of World War Two - and of D-DAY in particular - make us all feel humble. I guess there will be plenty like me who had a lump in the throat watching them remember their fallen comrades today. The best of British and an inspiration. And then, inevitably, there was Gordon.
Did you hear him being booed? God, that was awful. The BBC showed it but no commentary on why such a remarkable outpouring of anger would occur. And then, of course, there was "Obama beach". Yes, I know it was a slip of the tongue anyone could make but even so, the BBC have let it pass. Imagine George W Bush had been there and made such a mistake - would the BBC have played that up? Would the BBC comedians have run with it for subsequent eons?
