Having (kind of) satisfied himself that a future appeal would never happen he quipped, "So what is the point of all this then?" Clearly the deaths of nearly 300 people and the doubts over the conviction of Megrahi are irrelevant to him. The hearing is on the SG website.Jo Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536467440869239587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-30471081224023600252012-02-13T09:13:13.537+00:002012-02-13T09:13:13.537+00:00I do despair when so-called Unionists like McLetch...I do despair when so-called Unionists like McLetchie discredit themselves and Unionism with such foolish remarks.<br /><br />Even if he does think the Lockerbie Case should be dropped and forgotten, there is no political benefit in casting the Scottish Conservatives so explicitly against resolving this issue.<br /><br />Particularly when the Scottish and British Government’s need no encouragement in obstructing the truth and when his arguments are so transparently dishonest.<br /><br />However, ironically his remarks may have the opposite effect to those intended and propel Lockerbie centre stage.<br /><br />This is because McLetchie has turned Lockerbie into a party political issue which the JfM campaign could turn into a Scottish litmus test, in the forthcoming referendum debate.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213240619989073000noreply@blogger.com
