there are a LOT of holes in the whole thing, for one it was 2 WHOLE YEARS before the British Government launched an official investigation. I do not believe Maggie Thatcher would hold off on such a thing unless she was pressured to do so, most likely by the US, you imagine she would be demanding answers straight away. I read that there a Syrian intelligence officer was considered a prime suspect, he had experience in the kind of method of bombing that it was attributed to, but wasn't pursued cause the Yanks were trying to get Syria 'on side' at the time. There is definitely enough compelling evidence for the investigation to be re-opened, a number of the victim's relatives are sceptical of Al-megrahi's guilt, it should be noted. However both the UK and US Governments will likely do everything they can to stop this from ever happening, probably a whole load of embarrassing skeletons waiting to be unearthed...

Daily Telegraph scoop suggesting all kinds of shady dealings behind the release, non of it to do with immenent death.
Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

I reckon the whole affair has been virtually nothing but shady dealings from day one!

I'm sure I just saw this mug on the news protesting loud and proud in Benghazi... He was shouting something about giving the North Sea Oil back to Scotland. Hmmmm.

It'd be a laugh if the seething rebellion at home scared him to the point he asked the UK for political asylum, mind.

And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

This is true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.
