Megrahi and the SCOTS.











Hardly a cause for mirth.

The majority of (I'll imagine all except a very tiny few) Scots disagree with freeing the bastard, as do most of us I'm sure.

There will be many MORE dubiously-tried prisoners in jails in these isles than the Libyan, and all protestations of innocence from him and Kadaffi are farts in a wind-tunnel. They HAVE to claim his innocence, they will never turn around and admit his guilt!

Disgusting that he's free, 2 weeks jail for every death he caused!
 


No,just the balls in their court. :ohmy: Now lets see how they deal with it.
They've dealt with it. He's been released. End of story - as far as the Scottish government is concerned.

If the Americans don't like it, all they can do is whinge to the UK government (who will say "it's now't to do with me, guv"). The USA has no diplomatic relationship with Edinburgh and the Scottish government has no responsibility for foreign relations.

And it's too big a political risk for Brown to complain publicly about what an SNP government in Edinburgh does.

As I say ... End of story.

Far from it. A massively dangerous precedent. How the Scottish Government can take decisions that will have direct repercussions for the UK government in terms of diplomacy and foreign policy (not to mention potential dead English people on the streets of London if dealing with terrorists) is beyond me. Devolution always stank and now it smells rotten.

Despite the protestations of the odious Salmond and Downing Street, one day it will come out what a sickening tuck up this all was. Meanwhile, all the idiots continue to hoot, "well done the brave upright jocks!".

It also shows (yet again) what a complete fudge Devolution was between keeping the status quo and giving the Scots full independence. Technically this was an area that the Scottish parliament had full control over and the Westminster government had as much right to interfere as it has to interfere in the affairs of the Irish Republic. In practice of course no one had planned for this situation and consequently we (the rest of Britain) have got to carry the can just so the Scots can play at Nations.

Yes and the best thing of all, everyone is patting small minded nationalists on the back for their heroics! But of course, if they aren't English they are GREAT.
