Lockerbie bomber dies
The Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi has finally died of the cancer that was supposedly going to finish him off in three months, back in 2009.
He was responsible for killing 270 innocent civilians after planting a bomb on an aeroplane back in 1988. Despite such an atrocious crime, he was released from jail by Kenny MacAskill in 2009 on 'compassionate' grounds. He supposedly only had 3 months left to live from his terminal prostate cancer. This claim was made in August 2009, and yet it took another 33 months to finish it off.
Of course, it may be the case that foul play was involved and that strings were pulled so that he could be released early, perhaps in exchange for money, oil or both. It brings us back to the issue that the SNP cannot be trusted, and are a terrible political party.
No other honourable party would have thought to release a terrorist on compassionate grounds. It's just another example of how out of touch the SNP are with the country, and yet they feel that they can make Scotland independent and better off as a whole.
Let's use this an example that everyone should boycott the SNP, since a vote for them is clearly voting for terrorist supporters. The death of Mergahi should have come sooner.

Megrahi, the media and the myths - Parts 1-3
Over the course of these articles the media's hysterics, and specifically the BBC's reporting over the Megrahi case come into question.
If you only have time for one section (it is rather large) I'd suggest part 2. In summary: In 2007 it emerged that a deal was being arranged by the Labour led UK government to release Al Megrahi as a trade off for better relations with Lybia and open up trade with them again, i.e. oil etc. The SNP were opposed to this and led the way to exposing this deal.
The media did little to cover this, there was no 'outcry' quoted on the BBC and it was brushed away without much thought. Salmond was accused of 'picking fights' by the media.
2 years later when it turns out Al Megrahi is terminally ill and released on compassionate grounds under Scots law, the media go into a frenzy, led by the BBC. There were no dodgy deals by the Scottish government, but this got much wider coverage. Why? Because it was a reason to put the SNP down.
Also the BBC's reports now attempted to mix Labour's deals with Lybia in the past with this story to make it seem although they were related.
Part 1: The Desert Deal
A vote for the SNP is a vote in the WRONG direction
With the constant back and forth between Westminister and Holyrood over when the Independence Referendum will be, it does raise the question of who'll ultimately win the vote.
Clearly, it's the SNP against every one else and in all honesty, if the SNP do win, it will be detrimental to Scotland as a whole. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I am not a supporter of David Cameron, BUT, I do agree with him on the stance that Scotland breaking away from the UK would be disastrous for all parties involved.
Time and time again, the nodding Alex Salmond, and his nodding dogs Nicola Sturgeon and also Kenny MacAskill state that it's the best route for Scotland. How though? If we do end up breaking away from the UK, we would still be using the GBP, and wouldn't have control of our own interest rate.
It seems as though the entire SNP have a major chip on their shoulder that the English 'stole' Scotland from them, and as such they feel that they're defending Scotland's honour by trying to take it back. I think it's time to drop that historical nonsense. Can we really complain that we've had a rough time of it when we've been in the Union (Maggie Thatcher aside)?
All Alex seems to be interested in is getting all the money from the oil. Think back to your days at school though, where you were told that the oil is slowly but surely running out. What's the plans for Scotland then once the oil does run out? Granted, Amazon have set up a base here, and we've got a booming whiskey trade, but that's it. Nothings made in Scotland, and Mr Salmond hasn't made any pledge to start a new industry up here.
Couple this with his promise for the re-election when he assured the people that he would not cut jobs in the NHS. That promise didn't last long, and the budget has been cut something rotten. From my own personal experience of trying to contact Mr Salmond over the NHS issue, he refused to take my calls, or even directly answer my emails. Instead, he had a cheeky email sent from his secretary to myself pretty much telling me to sling my hook and not to look in the public sector for a job, but to focus on the private sector instead since in his opinion, the public sector (with regards to the NHS) will be hiring less and less.
Apparently, he doesn't even know what the NHS spends the money on, he just throws them a few million and they get to spend it on whatever he wants. This certainly doesn't sound like an excellent leader, especially when all leaders should be enforcing the public sector ethic over the private sector. Would you seriously want him doing such a shoddy job?
Lastly, let us not forget the incident with the Lockerbie bomber. A terrorist who brutally killed so many innocent people. Mr Megrahi was released under compassionate grounds by Kenny MacAskill after it being alleged that he only had a few months to live. However, those three months have turned into nearly three years. There is no way that the doctors involved in his care, nor the lab results could be that far off. Speculation has been rife ever since this date that oil was given as a trade off in return for Megrahi, although this is a fact that we'll probably never know.
It is however a slap in the face to the victims families that he was released. He surely didn't think about them when he committed his crime, so why should he have been released? The answer is, he shouldn't have been. Surely we can't trust a party that released a terrorist? In my eyes, that is one of the worst things you can support, and any party affiliated with such a decision shouldn't be given the light of day.
In my opinion, it strongly affected our relationship with the USA, and rightly so. When they think of Scotland now, they're drawn to the SNP who released a terrorist, which in itself should be a crime.
I would urge everyone that reads this page to vote for anyone bar the SNP (or simply not vote at all) since a vote for the SNP is a vote in the wrong direction.
