My view, for what it...A great blog posting Andrew.<br /><br />My view, for what it's worth, after hearing the news in recent days...<br /><br />Release on compassionate grounds has to be balanced with the crime committed. In my mind, mass murder of 270 innocent people demands that he dies in prison. I am not interested in the arguments of whether he was guilty or not. The Scottish legal system found him guilty and we must rely on that.<br /><br />For Americans to want to boycott the UK and Scotland in particular, I think you need to look again at this case and the reasons why the man was released. You may not agree with it, and many of us don’t, but it was done for specific legal reasons and with a high level of compassion. You may not like it, but you must understand that the decision was a hugely magnanimous one.<br /><br />Many in the UK disagree with general US strong-arm tactics around the world, but our responses are always considered and respectful and not angry, accusatory and bullying like the US politicians’ views have been in recent days.Stephen Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856125636247364096noreply@blogger.com
