Obviously it would be down right rude for me to assume that Biggs was a test case, to see how much the releasing of a convicted criminal on the grounds of terminal illness would fuck off the Great British Public.<br /><br />Tis just an ideaMummy xhttp://andtherewasmethinking.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-14319153851209249292009-08-23T22:09:33.751+01:002009-08-23T22:09:33.751+01:00Ah, for chrissake Mr Lincoln County, please look u...Ah, for chrissake Mr Lincoln County, please look up irony in the dictionary. Roughly means saying one thing but meaning/implying the complete opposite, like, you know "Lovely day isn't it?" when it's slashing down with rain. Jeez, and I thought it was the Germans who were supposed to have a sense of humour bypass, but maybe Lincoln County is one of those old German bits of the States. Most of us are just as stunned and revolted by this fix up as you all are, though we've now got used to our politicians being lying, conniving, natcissistic, self-regarding, troughing arseholes (and no, I'm not being ironic here).Onan the Rotariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-9410135751127891332009-08-22T11:53:04.759+01:002009-08-22T11:53:04.759+01:00I don't think the Americans are any more thick...I don't think the Americans are any more thick than we are , Rab . You only have to look out the window to see the feckless stupidity of our own folk .<br /><br />Then again , you were being being humourous (as well as employing hyperbole . She's a lovely girl , isn't she ?).<br /><br />Mr. Lincoln County clearly doesn't see the point you're making , but that is because of the amount of emotion stirred up by this stramash .<br /><br />Everone needs to be careful here . We're friends and allies - English , Scots , Americans .<br /><br />How can we let the Libyans make us dance to their tune and divide us from each other in this way ?<br /><br />We are all being manipulated - big time . As you imply , we should direct our anger at those responsible , not at each other .The Young Oligarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043892251035601945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-13889282114392723832009-08-22T09:58:59.200+01:002009-08-22T09:58:59.200+01:00Well, Mr Ignorant American.

There's another winner - The American People. When we saw the Scottish flags waving as the murderer was released we were shocked. When we visited your blogs and read a few of your posts - we understood. We now know our enemy and apparently it's Scotland. Not just the scottish government but the scottish people. It's a good thing to know your enemy. You all seem quite pleased with what you've done. And you've even managed to blame US. I may be an ignorant American but I look down on you with disgust and shame knowing that my ancestors were scottish.Lincoln Countyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291890395757083643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-2845380048278765862009-08-22T02:26:47.416+01:002009-08-22T02:26:47.416+01:00Good post Roberto.
