Details emerging about the Lockerbie bombers release look to embarrass our Government further, it looks like this deal has been in place since 2004 when former Prime Minister Tony Blair made a deal with Colonel Gaddaffi of Libya, to sign a prisoner transfer scheme, paving the way to releasing the only man convicted of involvement in the bombing.
And as expected money is the key, with the promise of opening up Libya to our oil and gas company’s, also the fear that Gaddaffi may turn on Britain as he did to Switzerland, you may recall that Gaddaffi’s youngest son was arrested in a hotel lobby for allegedly beating his servants, in response Libya cut of all oil supplies to that Country and with drew Billions in cash from their banks.
The Swiss were forced into a grovelling apology, saying that he had been arrested in error and no charges would be brought, Gaddaffi is yet to decide whether to resume supplies to them.
So with this in mind and murmurs of discontent that the British were dragging their heels in arranging the prisoner transfer, the Libyans started to apply pressure. and the end result as the world has seen is the shameful release of a mass murderer.
Blair continues to haunt us, his legacy is a once great Country almost on it’s knee’s having to bow and scrape to third world dictators, I have said it before and will continue to say it, it’s time this Government went.
