I don't think the penny has quite yet dropped as to what a f**king
great hole this Labour government, and Brown in particular, has
dropped us into compared to other tits ups.

There=92s a whole magnitude of greater incompetence this time
that=92s going to make even WW2 seem like the good old days.

Quite. Even the Tories at their worst wouldn't have released a mass
murdering terrorist after 8 years just to gain favour with a corrupt
dictator for
some trade. And no , I don't believe the SNP acted alone on this.

Even if he was guilty, which he wasn't, and the two mainstream UK
political parties who hate each other the very most colluded on the
decision, which they didn't, then "letting out one nearly-dead
terrorist, from a country that's now an ally" in exchange for
"billions of pounds worth of business and thousands of jobs" seems
like a pretty good deal.

Indeed. But what intrigues me is why we don't seem to be pursing the
real bombers more vigorously. Perhaps they've already been bumped off,
or are they protected in some way? Or are they sitting in Gitmo?
