This is the man convicted of killing 270 innocent people in Britains worst ever terrorist attack. On 21/12/1988 flight Pan Am 103 crashed into lockerbie ending the lives of 243 passengers, 16 crew members and 11 civilians of lockerbie. Still despite that fact this scumbag has been released from prison on compassionate grounds because he has terminal prostrate cancer. I think this is an absolute F****** joke. What right does this scumbag have to see out the rest of his life in comfort? Why should he be allowed to see his family again?? Were any of the 270 victims given that chance??

Yet another example of the so called "justice system" being a shambles.

I pray to god that this pathetic excuse for a human being suffers as much pain and discomfort as possible before he dies

Could not agree more mate,this is a total disgrace, to all the people who lost a loved one,what must they think about our justice system.
he should have been left to rot.

Unclepony,
I initially felt the same as you, but after listening to the whole of the Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill's statement I feel the correct decision has been made.
Obviously the scumbag showed no compassion or thoughts to his victims, but that is because he is a scumbag.
I expect I'll be in the minority in this but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

As you said m8 everyone is entitled to an opinion, i also listened to the statement from kenny macaskill and still see no reason why he should be released. I would like to ask if you would have the same opinion had you lost a loved one in this disaster??? (assuming you didnt m8)

[CaptainSandy]

You misunderstand me.
I would not have released him (or Ronnie Biggs), but I accept the arguements given and believe they made the right decision based on their beliefs - not on emotion or public opinion; it was a brave decision.

[BIGSMUDGE]

have a look at dr Smiths statements , I`m very far from a liberal , ( I would have hung the bastard any way )but I beleive that he was a scapegoat & it is far more likely that an Iranian did it , as I said check it out ,

[rad6]

not that i'm agreeing with compassionate leave but the evidence was very circumstancial in this case and i also believe that he was a scapegoat here. Would I feel differently if I had a family member on that flight, probably but being emotionally detached it is easier to say this. My heart does go out to all families involved.

[Pocket_Ducks]

every1 at my end here have been bickering and squabbling over it i personally believe he should have been transferred to a jail over in that country, so his family can visit him, but he remains in custody.

my sympathies go out to all those who lost a loved one, and so shortly before xmas too...

kwak

What I find sickening about the whole sorry episode is that on his return to Lybia he seems to have been greeted with what was not far short of a heros welcome.

[white_wizard]

i agree with jockney they will make him a hero,,all because this country is full off do gooders ,and nobody gives a crap about the victims,

[TIDDLYW1NK]

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED THE DAY AFTER THE TRIAL. SET FREE INTO THE STREETS OF SCOTLAND WITH HIS HANDS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK. WITH A ROYAL PARDON AFFORDED TO ANYONE WHO SAW FIT TO DO WHATEVER THEY LIKED TO THE PIECE OF HUMAN VERMIN. MAY HE DIE SLOWLY AND IN GREAT PAIN

[unclepony11]

well here we are, more than 2 years later and this scumbag is still alive and free (so much for having 3 months left)....it makes me sick

[cuddycat]

So this is justice!!! Supposedly hes been told not to make any public appearances some justice for all those who lost their lives and the people they left behind.

[crinkle62]

in the papers today............
this blokes family have the bloody nerve to ask if the 'british people' are going to pay for his chemo medication because while he's in Tripoli supplies are difficult to get hold of!!!!!!! they want £3k a month

get in touch with Gadaffi....he's the one who 'stole' and hid all the supplies!!!!
