"Genius bit of maneuvering"
it's a bit of a joke because it is so transparent
Whitehall have been trying to distance themselves from the issue - i.e. "it's scotland's problem". At the same time they have been building stronger trade/diplomatic relations with Libya.
Then after a few days of silence gordon brown comes out and says he is "repulsed" by the welcome that al-Megrahi received. He is repulsed by the welcome but has nothing to say on the release?
why nothing to say on the release?
What pisses me off about this is the explicit assumption that the people of Libya are somehow celebrating the death of a bunch of americans, indians, canadians etc rather than the fact that they are ceelbrating the return of one of their countrymen that they believe was innocent and had suffered a miscarriage of justice?
some people are asking why they didn't wait for the appeal prcess to happen. it was either they thought he would be dead anyway or else there was some fear that the whole case would be undermined and this would lead to widespread revulsion and lead to a greater hatred of the UK and possibly more attacks.
politics is funny sometimes
