Megrahi had, in fact, been sending his belongings home weeks ago which smells horribly of a stitch-up!Barking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-86914663257275614652009-08-20T21:13:26.615+01:002009-08-20T21:13:26.615+01:00No, I wouldn't want it any other way, what a b...No, I wouldn't want it any other way, what a boring world it would be if we all agreed about everything.Ollie Cromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884404611182711922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-81085124765439820322009-08-20T20:51:22.968+01:002009-08-20T20:51:22.968+01:00OK, Oll.

But I resent even more the idea that true Scottish compassion, for which, as you rightly say, there is a deserved reputation, should be abused in such a way, for reasons of propaganda. That's depraved. <br /><br />Scotland: a great country being sold down the river by bad political leaders with not one shred of morality or decency. And if the conviction was unsafe (it wasn't), then there should have been a retrial or, at the very least, a judicial review. To release a convicted mass murderer because he happens to be coming to end of his natural life isn't just wrong, it's extremely unusual. It's disturbing.<br /><br />I'm afraid I stand by that view.

Scotland has a proud tradition of compassion in these circumstances and should not sacrifice its standards to the high profile of the case or to US pressure which has been totally inappropriate.<br /><br />I would rather say “who the hell does Hillary Clinton think she is trying to dictate to the Scottish justice minister.”Ollie Cromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884404611182711922noreply@blogger.com
