We Should Let al Megrahi Die in Peace
I’ve just heard the father of one of the Lockerbie victims say this on the BBC. He is right, as Megrahi does really seem to be close to death according to this typical report among many. After all as the victim’s father said, Gaddafi has killed a lot more of his own people than the number that died in the PanAm jet at Lockerbie.
However, we shouldn’t let up though on finding out who was ultimately responsible for Lockerbie. It is all too convenient to put the blame on Gaddafi, who surely will soon be dead, as I can’t see him being captured alive or escaping to a safe haven. And if he did the latter, he has made enemies, who would not hestitate to assasinate him.
After I saw Lockerbie: Unfinished Business at the Gilded Balloon last year in Edinburgh, I posted this. I stand by every word I said.
Let’s Get Gaddafi To The Hague
I suspect that the cruel and idiotic Gaddafi has a few tricks up his sleeves yet. But wouldn’t it be a victory for everybody, especially the Libyan people, if he felt the respected justice of the International Criminal Court.
If they’re short of cells, he could share with some of the other dictators and war criminals under arrest in The Hague. They all deserve each other.
Why The Full Dress Uniforms?
I know the attacking of Libya is serious, but why do the admirals of the United States Navy appear on TV, in full dress uniforms with all their medals and decorations?
Some have almost as many as Gaddafi!
Money Transfer – Libyan Style
A ship containing a £100 million of Libyan bank notes has been seized by the UK Border Agency according to this report.
We could burn it to generate electricity or perhaps the government could give us all a few notes to perhaps use for a sensible purpose like stopping tables from rocking. Or perhaps as stand-by toilet paper!
Gaddafi Gets a Good Kicking
Gaddafi’s attempts to recapture Brega seemed to be a real defeat, as his forces seem to have no stomach for a fight.
Let’s hope he sees sense and gives up.
He could also go to live with his friend Robert Mugabe. They deserve each other. but their unfortunate citizens don’t!
Should We Rescue Britons From Libya?
The question has to be asked, “What all these people are doing in Libya?”
Most have gone there to make a lot of money. So shouldn’t they or the companies they work for be responsible for getting them home.
After all, when I had my stroke in Hong Kong, it was up to me to pay to get myself back to UK.
People can’t have it all ways. High salaries and probably low taxes in a country run by a mad and very dangerous nutter and then be expected to be brought home, when he finally loses it.
Gaddafi on the Ropes
It looks like the odious Colonel Gaddafi’s evil hold on Libya is coming to an end.
His son has blamed all and sundry in a speech.
But we are the ones to blame, just as we were to blame for the rise of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Western governments seemingly will do anything to get the oil they need to keep their people happy, so we gave them everything they wanted years ago.
As an example, when Yvonne Fletcher was shot dead outside the Libya embassy in London, we let the Libyans sneak out of the country, without a proper investigation. Some believe that the shot didn’t come from the embassy, but surely a thorough investigation at the time could have proved the truth.
Supposedly now, some claim that we are selling him the arms he has used to kill his own people.
We’ll do anything to get oil! But as I have shown in the last few months, only the selfish need a car of their own. We’ll all going to have to change our lifestyle sooner or later, so why not do it now?
Time for Me Yet?
If Colonel Gaddafi can do it at 67, then perhaps I can do it at 62.
On the other I couldn’t afford five hundred beautiful girls, but at least I’d give the handful I could afford something a bit for readable and useful. I would also allow a much more relaxed, or some might say racy, dress code.
Seriously though, why do we pander to dictators like Gaddafi?
Is it because he is such a charming host or because he has lots of oil?
