Nationalist Scum.

today's Speccie
about the growing closeness between the tories and their anti-labour "mercenaries" - the SNP in North Briton. It's a must read, but developments today
might put a little strain on that relationship. As nice as some of them are for a pint or a bit of banter, the Lockerbie decision reminds us all of what dangerous and deluded fools the Scottish nationalists really are.What do you expect when you elect what should be no more than a lunatic-fringe pressure group to run a region. The Scottish Executive have embarrassed themselves today. The UK as a whole has been shamed by a jumped up county council. The scumbag terrorist should have been left to rot in pieces, thinking about the hundreds of innocent lives he ended and families he destroyed. Compassion isn't a word he ever used. The shameful political opportunism - honed down to the very last second, with MacAskill timing his speech, just a couple of minutes past the hour in order to guarantee American television coverage, was just so blatent. This wasn't about compassion, it was a cold and cynical calculated political move. The last refuge of the scoundrel indeed.
The SNP may think they have scored a victory here, no doubt Salmond will be troughing a celebratory curry tonight, but in the long run this will come back to bite them in the arse. They have shown to the whole world that they are amateurs, way out of their depth, proving what we had all long suspected. They have set the agenda back years, we have solid proof now that they should not be in a position of power.
Every cloud eh?

dangerous? come off it.
Ill admit id rather have seen a public enquiry.
you hate the SNP very very much, that i understand, but the tories have no chance in scotland, would you rather see labour in power?
That doesn't actually address the Bear's argument. The SNP are accountable for their actions.
I think the decision to release the bomber sticks in the craw, but even so was correct. We are the good guys - we DO show compassion - especially when it is hard to do. You don't beat the bad guys by being worse than them, you strive to be better.

Please. Grow a pair. People like you need to be kept as far away from the levers of power as possible.
The Scottish Government have just humiliated their own people by releasing a mass murderer less than a third of his way through a minimum 27-year sentence. And all because of cancer? Do me a favour.
Tell me, Saint Richard Lucas who turneth the other cheek, would you spare a terminally ill man who wilfully stabbed his wife and children to death? Bless him, we're better than him, right? So we refuse to punish him, right? Let us show the compassion to him that he refused to show to his victims, no matter how many of them where are.
I bet the Lockerbie Bomber is seething with anger now that we've "beaten him" with our "compassion". As if.
What a strong society we've created!
Pass the flaming sick bowl.
I actually think the exact opposite TB.
This decision was most damaging in the short term but, in the long term, this will serve the Scots well. It will give the impression of a pragmatic Government who are prepared to make big decisions and stand firm to their beliefs against international pressure.
I met MacAskill a while ago and, whilst he couldn't have been less interested in me (for understandable reasons), he showed himself to be the type of politician who is in the game for the right reasons. He has made the correct decision and, I have no doubt, will not have taken it lightly.
I think the tone you use in this post speaks volumes. It is these kinds of emotional outbursts and condescending content that Mr MacAskill has risen above.
Would you ever refer to England as a region?
lol, that has to be the funniest article you have done. Your catching up with Boris and his rather strange outbursts.
What leader sold weapons to Saddam Hussein who subsequently used them against British troops ? clue, It was a she ? and not the bonniest looking of woman...
Under Scots law, a prisoner can be released if it is the medical opinion of two doctors that the prisoner has a life expectancy of less than three months.
Other prisoners have benefited (sic) from this arrangement in the past, it just so happens that this one offends the Americans, hence all the coverage.
The real story is the dropping of the appeal, which would have forced the Governments hand in releasing evidence suppressed at the original trial for fear of embarrassing "A foreign ally"
I think you've let yourself down here a bit TB.
Get a grip, eh? Have some more of that rose, that should mellow you out.
jeff,
after a night of turmoil, i can vouch that rose does not "mellow you out"
Congratulations, Scotland. You've started on the road to becoming a pariah state.
Scum?
Showing compassion to an evil man shows that we are civilised. If every governemnt around the world showed the same attitude to their enemies as the Scottish Government has the world would be a much more peaceful place.
Well said TB.
I'm sick of reading and hearing from people 'he was innocent', 'he deserves compassion as he's got cancer'.
The truth is a court of law found him GUILTY of murdering 270 people so he should die in prison.
This is not a debate about whether his trial was flawed.
Also if he was so innocent why did he stop the appeal and inquiry?
I loved being told to "Grow a pair" by someone who daren't put a name to his post. Anonymous - you're the blog equivalent of a badly bought up child who shouts rude words through a letterbox and runs away. Strive to be better - you might feel better about yourself, let alone everyone else.

Your naivety makes me laugh uproariously. Is this how SNP trolls are justifying their stupidity?
You Sir clearly have a small penis and think that Westminster and the Tories rule uber alles, deluded monkey.
Can't stand it can you, us Scot's have taken our own path and will not kow tow to all.
Here's a little insight to the future - Scotland will be Indpendent within 5 years.
How do you like them apples?

Crazy D
Wanna put your money where your mouth is?
Bet you 10k Scotland is not independent by 21st August 2014?

One hopes the cancer eats this fucker slowly.

Showing compassion to an evil man shows that we are weak.
This guy is living faecal matter, although the question needs to be put to the Yanks:
"Are you harbouring any further IRA/INLA vermin we need to string up?"
Fuckwit you haven't even got 10k in pounds or balls.
Bring it on, pussy.

TB. You have made an arse of yourself on this one. Whether the decision was right or wrong morally, it was taken after weeks of discussion and deliberation. Had the then P.M. of the UNITED KINGDOM not met the murderous bastard who calls himself Gaddafi in a tent in some godforsaken desert to agree to prisioner exchange, this situation may not have arisen. It was done to enable Libya to start to re-export oil to the west from which large presumeably Tory voting companies, would benefit. Or is the modern Conservative party no longer the party of business as it was the last time I was a member, which admittedly was during the Thatcher years?
Hurf Durf
"Your naivety makes me laugh uproariously. Is this how SNP trolls are justifying their stupidity?"
Thank goodness there are people in the world who have hope and actually strive to make the world a better place as opposed to regressive idiots like yourself that sneer at those who desire peace and practice compasion.
whats interesting is that those right wing detractors of scottish self determination presumably are opposed to scottish specific institutions, for example the Scottish Parliament are now all of a sudden are the greatest proponents of Scots Law
assuming that crazy daisy meant 10kg balls, whyu would anyone want that? a hindrance id imagine
