Now they bitch when it doesn't go the way they want. Their hypocrisy is amazing.Tom Ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484399305170928582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14418636.post-62079412969570298942009-08-23T22:47:09.516+01:002009-08-23T22:47:09.516+01:00Stephen,

Reckon Kenny should send a letter back to the FBI telling him to go f*** himself and his view of "justice." It's hardly like the US has the moral authority on justice is it? <br /><br />And if roles had been reversed, would the US have even bothered <i>listening</i> to Scotland if they had an interest in the case? No. They would have ignored the protests and done what the hell they liked - just like with the Iraq war ("UN resolution? Nah, screw it, we do what we want.").<br /><br />And I'm usually pro-America...Malchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191161151984519900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14418636.post-85995944420565870212009-08-23T13:10:58.514+01:002009-08-23T13:10:58.514+01:00The unionist opposition parties in Scotland have d...The unionist opposition parties in Scotland have decided to play political games over the compassionate release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi. <br /><br />Calling for a vote of no-confidence in Justice Minister Kenny Macaskill.<br /><br />This is surely the height of hypocrisy from an opposition whose moral compass seems to have gone awry for right wing populist reasoning whilst Labour's UK Government stays silent over their prisoner transfer agreements and oil deals.<br /><br />Scottish Labour's Iain Gray has rather pompously announced that if he were First Minister then al Meghari would not have been given compassionate leave, Labour's Jack McConnel has said if he were still First Minister then he would not have given Al Megraghi compassionate leave and the Liberal Democrat Leader, Tavish Scott has said he doe not agree with the release on compassionate leave.<br /><br />To date I haven't seen Annabelle Goldie's or indeed any Scottish Conservative MSP's comments but David Cameron has strongly condemned the decision and various other conservative MP's have openly questioned the reasoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
