Lockerbie Bomber
Strange political games going on these days, really weakening the respect that remains for the already frail justice system in the UK.
Almost amusing now how after the Libyan's didn't do what they were told to, and treated the return of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi as a heros return that the shift has been to effectively to blame the Scottish. Any mention of the British system has been quickly edited to read Scottish as they run for cover.
I imagine the Scottish as a whole feel rather humiliated by the waving of their flag amongst the jubilation of the return of a mass murderer underlining their weakness to the whole world.
I think it is fairly evident that whilst some wishy washy left wingers in the Scottish legal system had a hand in the release alot of the pressure was put on them by people in power in the British government for trade purposes.
I think this just needs bringing to light and looking into as it is starting to errode any respect we have for the legal system. It appears that politics and money are getting too much control over the law, this certainly includes the mass of new anti terrorism laws introduced over the last few years.
As much as the theory of compasionate release sounds civilised, the reality is that the families of those who cannot go back to their families, ever and who did no wrong feel utterly utterly betrayed by the system.
