The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for return to Libya, leaked ministerial letters reveal.
Gordon Brown’s government made the decision after discussions between Libya and BP over a multi-million-pound oil exploration deal had hit difficulties. These were resolved soon afterwards.
The letters were sent two years ago by Jack Straw, the justice secretary, to Kenny MacAskill, his counterpart in Scotland, who has been widely criticised for taking the formal decision to permit Megrahi’s release.
The correspondence makes it plain that the key decision to include Megrahi in a deal with Libya to allow prisoners to return home was, in fact, taken in London for British national interests.
There you have it people. Now, where are the glaring headlines and non-stop coverage of "Labour Sleaze" on the fucking BBC? "Oil for letters", anyone?
Oh, and to finish off (and also from The Times), is the apparent fruit of one of Mandelsnake's various visits to the Rothschild's yacht. Not even the Tories had the utter fucking temerity to go this far...
Fucking scum.
