Actually it all started in the desert with that greasy creep Blair’s meeting in a tent, signing up to the prisoner exchange. When it was pointed out at THAT time that the only Libyan prisoner that the UK was Al Magrahi, there was large scale Labour mumbling but no clear response. It was further pointe out at the time that greasy Blair could NOT make deals involving prisoners in Scotland as it is a seperate legal system, typically there was suggestions that Westmidden could do what ever it felt like. Remember this was around the time of the meeting of two despots in the desert. Even suggestions of the London MET riding 7th cavalry style into Scotland to spring the sole Libyan and that Strathclydes finest would have to accept that.
Anyway water under the bridge, the sands of time etc.As it turned out the sole prisoner is dying and interwoven in Scots Law is release on compassion regardless. But as ever the greasers that are the Labour party in London are still mincing their way through deals that they cant actually do as they really have no say. Butthen thats Labour for you under the new fuhrer thats Brown

This story underlines for the hundredth time the need for us to develop energy independence so we can live as a dignified people according to our values and without hypocritically kow-towing to dictators around the world.

Solar, wind, wave, hydro, bio mass, electric cars. Whatever it takes, let’s do it.

Don’t be fooled by the “British” in BP either. It’s an international company. Its interests are not (necessarily) our interests.

The reason for the lights potentially going out are due to insufficient power plant capacity, due mainly to old plant not being replaced and new plant not being built to meet the increasing demand, mainly due to immigration.

No amount of oil & gas deals will solve this.
