Should Lockerbie investigation continue?

[This is the headline over a short report, with accompanying video, on the ITV News website.  It reads as follows:]

South of Scotland MP David Mundell has questioned how long the Lockerbie bombing investigation should continue. Mr Mundell, whose constituency includes Lockerbie, thinks that a decision needs to be made about 'the finality of the case'.

Last week officers from Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary were amongst a delegation that travelled to he Libyan capital of Tripoli. Whilst there they spoke to government officials, prompting the Chief Constable of Dumfries and Galloway Police to say the investigation remains 'a very active' one.

[The same website’s report, with accompanying video, of its interview with Dumfries and Galloway Police's Chief Constable Patrick Shearer reads as follows:]

Chief Constable of Dumfries and Galloway Police, says the investigation into the Lockerbie bombing 'has reached a new level' and that the force hopes to build on what was learnt by officers who travelled to Libya last week.

Patrick Shearer spoke exclusively to ITV News.

  1. "Mr Mundell, whose constituency includes Lockerbie, thinks that a decision needs to be made about 'the finality of the case'."

    Here's another politician who is more than aware of the evidence right under our noses which challenges the safety of Megrahi's conviction but who would prefer to ignore that.

    Shame on Mr Mundell.

  2. I'm not sure Paddington Bear is aware of much outside his own lunch box.
