Off topic but went to the BBC news page and noticed this:

"Afghanistan's presidential poll was marred by intimidation and vote fraud, but generally fair, election monitors say."

Oh it was generally fair so that's OK hehe

A banjo is giving brown a little too much credit.

A triangle perhaps.

I am mystified as to which part of this saga was the "good idea"? We had a couple of choices...

1) Keep mass-murderer in jail to serve out what's left of his sentence. If he dies so be it. If his conviction is unsafe then he should have thought about it before now. I retain faith in our legal system. Without that we're in a whole world of st.
2) Let mass-murderer out. Incur the open-mouthed incredulity of the yanks, who, whatever we think of them, remain one of our staunchest allies, and allow Libya to laugh-their-cocks off at us for our stupidity. But hey we can all sleep easy because we "did the right thing". Try telling that to any of the 270 families of those slaughtered.

To the OP - are we surprised? Anyone can play banjo-Brown like banjo!

Elegant summary.


Brown is a laughing stock, and now our biggest allies think we love a bunch of murderous Libyans more than them

Good work Gordon, you utter cockrocket.

Soovy, what's your opinion on the conviction and the 'flimsy' evidence used against him? Interested to know your legal opinion.

If the additional evidence indicated that he wasn’t guilty, then what would have stopped winky appointing a high court judge to review and then fast track the appeal in public , Winky would have come across as a fair humanitarian, Libyan bod would have cleared his name and the Americans and relatives would be less pissed off than they are now, winners all round.

What we got was yet another bungled attempt by winky, labour and the snp at international politics, this coupled with our idiotic Foreign sec declaring that Terrorism has a place and is effective, has now sent out the message that whilst your bksed if you go over the speed limit in the UK, terrorists are welcome and wont get punished if they happen to murder hundreds of people! what a fantastic fking week we're having on the world stage furious

Bugger bringing back corporal punishment for crime, we should bring it back for anybody stupid enough to vote this bunch back into office!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdelbaset_Ali_Mohmed_Al_Megrahi#Second_appeal
Scottish ministers denied in April 2009 they had clandestinely agreed to the repatriation of Megrahi before the start of his second appeal on 28 April

Smell a bit fishy. What do you think Oakey?

What exactly do we get out of the 'special relationship'? It all seems rather one way.

I can't help but think, and it may be tin foil hat time, that the release now helps to secure those lucrative oil contracts and our lovely government can hold it's hands up to the Americans - "wasn't us guv'nor, that Scottish Executive lot, blame them". I think it's an attempt, by Labour, to have their cake and eat it - or maybe I should just get back to hiding from those satellites?

Yes they said something similarly daft on BBC local radio here, observers were quoted saying voting was marred by intimidation and widespread violence but the elections were hailed as a success...rather like saying today was sunny and dry all day apart from the constant cloud cover and widespread downpours.

In general the BBC think people will swallow their guff. The sad thing is, some will.

No, the clothing didn't have his name in, it was merely 'traced back' (how the fk do you trace back an item of clothing anyway) to a retailer in Malta. The shopkeeper who owned the shop where the clothing was purchased identified Meghari (even though he'd already seen his image as a suspect in the media) and testified against him in court. For this he was paid $2million.

I think he got the blame because it was an orchestrated miscarriage of justice, and thanks to Winky and his new best mate Muammar Gadaffi we'll now likely never know the truth.

He either needed to stay in jail as a convicted murderer, or undergo a retrial as a convicted murderer. Compassionate release shouldn't even be on the cards.

I could understand rushing a retrial on 'compassionate' grounds due to his terminal cancer.

We look weak and pathetic on the world stage. A fking embarrassment. I'm waiting for a logical explanation as to why he was released, but don't see one forthcoming.
