Cameron, Obama, BP and al-Megrahi
I have just reread all of my posts about al-Megrahi. Even with the benefit of twenty-twenty hindsight, it is a mess.
But I wouldn’t want to change any of the words I wrote.
The guy who is lucky in all this is Obama, as he now can blame BP for the mess, and give them a good kicking to boot whilst they are down. This all helps to move the guilt from Americans and American agencies and companies, who have failed. These failures started with those that were responsible for shooting down the Iranian Airbus.
David Cameron may be lucky too, but as he will have to preside over the dismantling of BP, he may feel that he has been placed between a rock and a hard place.
I do hope we have a full inquiry into all of this, as I feel we’ll see the dead hand of Prudence in all the mess!
It has been a sorry affair and those that died at Lockerbie and in the Gulf deserved a lot better.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

I suspect that whatever action had been taken would have been wrong in the eyes of someone. I personally do not think people should be released from prison when dying. But this guy is so high profile if he had been left to die in prison, we would have been called heartless and worse, and I suppose potentially attracted terrorist attention.

When the truth comes out, as it inevitably will, I suspect that the power struggle and enmity between the Scottish government and Whitehall will have something to do with it!
