A combination of dull, overcast, drizzly, cold, misty and miserable weather
26 August 2009

I’m getting pretty fed up hearing the endless ‘analysis’ of The Libyan being released On Compassionate Grounds. That’s why I’m going to talk about it. For the last time, I hope.

  1. If people outside of Libya didn’t make such a fuss, The Libyan’s return home would have been much less celebrated. They’ve practically martyred him while he’s still alive.
  2. If the decision was taken to send The Libyan to a hospice in Scotland, no one would want him in their neighbourhood anyway.
  3. Providing the security force needed to keep The Libyan from being sprung or murdered would have cost a phenomenal amount of money, money the government doesn’t have.
  4. Choosing to deny The Libyan release on compassionate grounds even though he meets the criteria is giving The Libyan extra-special treatment.
  5. The outraged American government will still buy Libya’s oil and gas. Let’s have the outraged American families lobby their government to stop dealing with Libya and telling the rest of the country to suck it up and pay more for their fuel.
  6. I wonder how Alex Salmond likes being America’s whipping boy?

  1. Amen to that.

    And no matter what happens now, it's not like he's going to come back here, so it's all a bit academic really. People need to move on, I'm sure the majority of the population doesn't really care.
