Maddog21 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Now you're just talking nonsense. Why would the SNP do as labour told them? Do you actually understand the devolution arrangement? Do you understand how politics works? Front page Indy today Lockerbie: now it's payback time Prospect of lucrative trade deals fuels anger at Megrahi's release http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-...me-1775805.html The Scottish Parliament has been recalled next week and the Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is expected to come under fierce questioning. Alex Salmond the SNP First Minister, hinted the political considerations played a part:"There is no doubt politics came into it - but not from the Scottish Government." Mmmm I wonder who then...?

deadman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm with the SNP on this one, because it's p1ssed off the US . . . Shame Meghari's appeal didn't ahppen though, because the families deserve to know the truth, and I don't think the Libyans, nasty as their regime is, had anything to do with this atrocity.

1929crash Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 You're entitled to your opinion Crash. You're wrong though Please tell me what evidence you rely on to support al Meghari's guilt. The Sun and the Daily Mail don't count. And why are you so against the families finding out the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minos Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Except it was the SNP, labour's mortal enemy, who released him. Why do the SNP hate Labour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Hun Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hes not so much as a bomber or terrorist, more accurately a hostage seized to provide leverage over Libya to give us access to their oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krackersdave Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 You know, Obama may just go "AWOL" on this. Noooo... Obama gives SNP right royal kicking in front of worldwide press until Scottish voters are so ashamed that they turn their backs on the SNP. In time for.... Not sure many Scottish voters actually give a hoot what Obama says tbh. However a great many may be impressed when a polititian shows both steel balls in ignoring the worlds only superpower and demonstrates mercy to a single dying man.... Make no mistake this is powerful stuff. The SNP are not fools they know that any dirty deals between Westminster and Tripoli WILL come to light and the stench of corruption will settle there not Holyrood. I'm really looking forward to the recall of Holyrood next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ayatollah Buggeri Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 it just looked far too staged to me- There can't be too many Scottish flags knocking about in Libya, it would, just from a logistical viewpoint , surely have taken a few days just to have ones that size ordered and made up? Precisely my thought when I saw that footage. However, if it was an attempt by NuLab to stitch up the Braveheart brigade, Megrahi appears to have blown a bit of a hole in it: apparently he's made a speech praising 'my courageous friend' Gordon Brown. I bet the latter is seething in his rain-sodden Lake District holiday let... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anorthosite Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Why do Labour hate the SNP? Its worth mentioning that when the SNP took power in Holyrood, neither Tony Blair, who was about to leave office, or Gordon Brown phoned Alex Salmond to congratulate him on his victory. Dozens of other leaders around the world did (including Bush & Putin), but Salmond was able to joke about the PM that "he never writes, he never calls, .." The SNP have behaved very well in power, forging relations with, amongst others, the Conservatives. They've had to, they have a minority government. Labour on the other hand have taken a hissy fit and are behaving like spoilt brats up here. No one I know has any respect for them any more.

Labour are like that in Wales. They see themselves as the natural party of government and have what Roy Jenkins referred to as a narrow, exclusivist tendency. My question BTW was a rhetorical one.
