9/11 need I say more.

My thoughts are with all my fellow American bloggers today, and everyone else who was affected by the tragic events on this day in 2001.

Scotlands pretentious Judicial system.

Finally we have someone of some importance, Elish Angiolini QC, the Senior Law Officer of Scotland no less, speaking out about the ludicrous sentences passed by certain judges in this country.
She agrees with what I have printed in this blog time and time again, that a life sentence should mean LIFE, and not a meagre few years for blatant murder.
How many times has the police wasted their time gathering evidence to bring a case like this to court, for an idiotic judge to a pass sentence of anything from 10 to 12 years, and call it a life sentence? This might be a life sentence if it were being passed to a ninety year old, but not to young people in their teens, up to their forties, who find themselves free to kill again, without serving a reasonable term for their horrific crime.
How many times has families stood in court to hear justice done for some member of their family who has been brutally murdered only to be let down by the idiot judge who is supposed to represent justice, but that thinks 10 years is a life sentence to a teenager?
Almost every week we hear of cases like this in the news, and nothing is ever done about it by the justice system or the government.
It is very refreshing to hear Elish Angiolini QC, speaking on behalf of these victims, so hopefully she will do something about it instead of just speaking about it.
After all, what is the point of calling it a life sentence when they have no intention of keeping them in jail until they are dead?
The judges who pass out these lenient sentences would be shocked if they realized how many people have died because they were stupid enough to pass out these lenient sentences to brutal killers who are just biding their time to get out to kill again. I have said it before and I will say it again these judges are aiding and abetting these callous killers and should be brought to book when these people kill again, as they are no different to any other worker that makes a hash of their work, and gets sacked.
For the benefit of the do-good brigade, proper life sentences have proved to deter crime in other civilized countries where more sensible decisions are made, so its time the Scottish judicial system took a tumble to itself.
Kenny McCaskill our excuse for a Justice Minister has already made an international fool of our justice system, so its about time we regained our pride, and started doing the proper thing towards the victims of this country that is SCOTLAND, and let the thistle, and the Scottish nation have reason to stand proud again!

Dennis the menace

Image via Wikipedia

Political correctness has reached an all time low, now it is interfering with established characters in children's comics.
What are these idiots going to think up next, and just when is all this nonsense going to end?
Poor Dennis has had his peashooter, and catapult confiscated for good, plus his dog Gnasher has now to act as if he has been trained by Barbara Woodhouse. (A famous TV dog trainer from the past for those who have never heard of her.) Dennis has to be so good there will be no need for P.C Murdoch to chase him, not even tell him off for playing football in the street.
It is OK making the excuse that Dennis has changed over the years,because change or no change he has always been a menace, so this new toffee nosed kid will not wash with the readers. Who wants to read about a poncy little boy with a timid dog afraid to say boo to a ghost?
If he is not allowed to BE the same mischievous menace he has been down through the years, then the MENACE part should be withdrawn from his name, and without the menace after Dennis, it just ain't the same boy.
This new character will certainly get laughs, but not in the way they are expecting,
it will be more like ridicule, tee hee rather than belly laugh Ho Ho.
Has Scotland not suffered enough with the Megrahi affair without taking away our typical mischievous little boy from us.
He is after all only an innocent CARTOON character not a computer animation who goes around slaughtering everyone, and everything in sight.
Its time to bring some reality into our children's lives again instead of taking away an enjoyable character, generations have grown up with, without any related mishaps.

Alex Salmond should be showing some humility.

Image by Matito via Flickr

So Alex Salmond is still desperate to have a referendum on Scotland going it alone, with his party, the Scottish National Party, set to continue governing Scotland.

Some people are so thick that they just never get the message, so let him have his referendum if he wishes, to drill it into his thick arrogant skull that his party have blown it by releasing the Lockerbie bomber against the wishes of the majority of the Scottish public.

This one deed has scuppered all the good work his party have achieved, and it has done enough to prove to the nation that they cannot be trusted to be put in a position of resposibility, so instead of being so arrogant in the Scottish parliament, he should be showing some humility, now he knows the Scottish people did not want Megrahi's release.

It would be better though if we just ignored his wishes, after all the election is creeping ever closer, and it would save money if we waited and voted him out then, which is going to happen whether he believes it or not.

Anyway why should we grant his wishes when he never granted the scottish nation theirs, by keeping Megrahi in prison until he was dead?

Gaddafi's evil regime had to be subdued.

As the Megrahi saga rumbles on in the political world, so it will rumble on in my blog!

It seems to be forgotten in the mayhem of this debate just how evil the Gaddafi regime was before America went after him, narrowly missing the chance to eliminate him by bombing a residence of his where he was thought to be staying at the time.
Unfortunately he survived,and his stepdaughter Hannah was killed, but I have always thought they must have been very close to accomplishing their task, as since then he has changed his tune by trying to appease the western world, instead of trying to raise other African, and middle eastern countries against us.

It was only four years before the Lockerbie bombing in 1984 that police constable Yvonne Fletcher was shot and killed outside the Libyan Embassy by a shot from within, while a protest against the Libyan, Gaddafi regime took place outside.
The murderer got away scot free by claiming diplomatic immunity and all diplomats involved were repatriated, with the parents of Yvonne Fletcher never knowing who killed their daughter, never mind seeing them brought to justice.

Two years later in 1986 America and Libya clashed with several bombing attacks from both sides, mainly because Gaddafi, or "MAD DOG" as he was known then tried to expand his regime beyone the boundaries of Libya by trying to cause more unrest in the middle east, or in other words he was getting too big for his boots.
This failed thanks to America's near miss on this evil mans life.

It took that near miss to prevent this mad dog from starting a war that could have escalated world wide, although the terrorism he was involved with still exsist today in the form of several Muslim movements, that are still a threat to world peace.

All these facts have to be considered when speaking of the Lockerbie bombing, and taking them into consideration it becomes clearer of the involvement this terrorist state had in this mass murder.

By the time it became clear that Libyans were involved, Gaddafi had changed his ways,so now you have to realize, that to suit both the British government, who wanted an oil deal (BP being the company involved with that) AND to suit the by now subdued Libyan regime who wanted trade sanctions lifted, which would suit both governments, "Megrahi the pawn" came into play.

I am only surmising, but a very logical supposition when all the facts that are now unravelling are brought to bare.
Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of Britain when it was agreed that Gaddafi would hand over just one man "Megrahi" who was involved in the slaughter, and would take the rap, so to speak, for all of the members of the regime that was involved in this mass murder, on the condition that he would be released as soon as was thought to be a time when things had quietened down enough to get him home without too much commotion or unrest among the victims of the said slaughter.

An illness feigned or otherwise, came to the rescue of the predicament the government found theirselves in, and low and behold Megrahi was released and sent home......... to a heros welcome.

Not realizing the uproar this was going to cause McCaskill took the rap for this decision, a decision that I think was made from the very beginning of this farce, by Blair.
It was never intended that the pawn Megrahi would spend much time in a British jail, hence the reason he was handed over so readily.

Now because of public outrage the politicians are jumping on the bandwagon, trying to blame the SNP only, but might be unaware that their own party might have had more to do with this outrage than they realized.

The vote in the Scottish parliament went as we expected with all parties voting against the decision of the SNP government, echoing the majority of the Scottish nation, but where the Scottish nation are concerned, they knew it was an injustice, whereas the MPs and MSPs are only out for political recognition.
All of whom would have shoved it all under the table if it had not been for the public outcry of such a despicable decision.
McCaskill had no right to say he was speaking on behalf of the Scottish nation, nor has Alex Salmond any right to say THEY are the government and they will have many a difficult decision to make, because after this nonsense the only decision he will have to make is where would be the best place to hide his face.

Although Blair may have done a deal at the time, a deal Gordon Brown would have known about, the final decision WAS made by an SNP government, and a government who's reign is going to be short lived thanks to this decision.
Of course Brown and McCaskill deny all accusations of a deal, but it is a known fact that politicians lie, so much so it comes as second nature to them, and they don't bat an eye as they stand in front of the media protesting their innocence.

All this falls neatly into the hands of the future government of Britain which none of the contenders ever wanted the SNP running Scotland in the first place, as a united Britain is more profitable to them than an independant Scotland.

Sadly the SNP fell into the trap, fell at the first hurdle, and deserve to go back into the shadows for a very long time.

The newspapers might not be allowed to print this, but it is as near to the truth as you are going to get, so lets hope lots of people get the chance to read my version which IS echoed by the majority of Scotland.

McCaskill's political lies once again.

As the farce rumbles on we know the "term" used for Megrahi's release was "compassionate grounds" no one is arguing that point, and no matter how many times he tries to condone his error or how many excuses McCaskill comes up with, he is fooling no one.

The opposition MPs, and MSPs can debate as long and hard as they like, and waste money on a needless enquiry, but they are fooling no one either, because what it all boils down to is the fact that they are all guilty of betraying all the victims, as the deals suited each and every one of them, and the only purpose of an enquiry is for their political gain. Why waste money on trying to degrade a party that is already on the way out? Stop trying to kid us, the British people are no fools, and more so than ever will not be taken in by the lies of politicians.
Megrahi was a pawn used by our government to consolidate deals in oil, and other commercial purposes with the Libyans, and no matter how long the rumblings of this miscarriage of justice continues, the facts are, that this mass murderer should have died in jail.

The S.N.P. disgraced Scotland by this betrayal, and if they can't be trusted to make the correct decision on such an important international matter as this, they cetainly cannot be trusted to run our country, and fully deserve to be banished to the shadows they so nearly emerged from.

The Scottish people have already let their views be known, so no matter how long this rumbles on the Scottish people will not forget when it come to voting in the looming elections.

Another sad outcome of this nonsense is that it is narrowing even more the limited choices we have of who to vote for as none of the main contenders can be trusted to take over from the useless outgoing government, and I am afraid the term "better the devil you know" is most definitely not appropriate in this case.

Megrahi, the rock the Scottish National Party perished on.

Exactly one week and one day after I conveyed the disgust of the majority of the Scottish nation, a poll has been published comfirming everything I wrote.
The media is almost echoing the contents of my last post, word for word, even using the term of the "Saltire fluttering limply" compared to my words of "the National emblem we are so proud of, wilting." Hummm! Maybe I reach more folk than I first thought, but Alex Salmond is certainly not one of them as his pig headedness is still preventing him to admit, that he and the Scottish National Parties Minister of Justice got it wrong.
After listening to the results of the polls which gave the Scottish nation an overwhelming majority in favour of Megrahi dieing in jail, Alex Salmond, Scotlands first Minister still backed McCaskill's decision to release this mass murderer.
FIRST MINISTER HE MAY BE NOW, BUT NOT FOR MUCH LONGER!
In trying to wheedle his way out of the situation he had the audacity to say that in the same poll the Scottish people said McCaskill should keep his job. Of course they did,why sack him now when they can vote him out soon, showing that way how much we despised his actions.

McCaskill has never been emotionally involved in this situation, and although deals have been denyed, we never expected them to admit to such a thing anyway,and any emotion McCaskill will show is when the praise he will get from the outgoing Prime Minister Gordon Brown, as his betrayal of the Scottish nation is heaped upon him for the sake of a few barrels of oil. The words "THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER" spring to mind.

Just as the S.N.P. were emerging from the shadows, with promising policies, they have let slip, in one fell blow, the fingertip grip they had on forming an unopposed government in Scotland.
They are just another party who gave out false hopes, then went against the wishes of the very people who put them there.

After this international affront and betrayal, they are about to slip back into the shadowy seats of politics for a very long time. The Scottish people have been let down badly, and will show this in the ever nearing elections, sending a message to all parties that they HAVE to listen to the majority, and not do as they please, no matter what deal is put before them.
As for the Saltires flying in Libya because the Libyans thought the Scottish people were civilized, well we are and would have kept Megrahi in prison until he died, it was them and McCaskill who were uncivilized betraying two nations, Scotland and America by going against their wishes.

Once again I will say, this time with proof, McCaskill, DID NOT SPEAK FOR THE SCOTTISH NATION!
The Scottish nation will speak for international justice when they vote these embarassments out of office.
Little justice in an unjust world.
