Good stuff Ken, a tight appraisal. What I found irritating was “Scotland’s nationalist First Minister” being interviewed on Newsnight by Gavin Esler. Esler was in attack dog mode and clearly trying desperately to emulate Paxo by repeating the same (worthless) question, this was compounded by the same similarly worthless answer repeated over and over from “Scotland’s nationalist First Minister”, the decision was clearly out of his hand and he was trying to salvage some political traction from his supposed “position” on the matter.

Agree with all points Sir. The debate shouldn’t be about whether he is innocent or not. He was proven guilty and no appeal was made. He should therefore carry out his sentence and, I believe, die in prison.

Meanwhile i’m off to Ladbrokes to put a tenner on him last longer than 3 months or making a ‘miraculous’ recovery. It makes Britain/Scotland look desperate!

It does seem particularly strange tghat the levels of denial go so high in Gordon’s government - to his right hand man (Some would say he *is* the man) Mandleson to have met with Gadafi’s sone so recently. Meddling and interfering is the way of the man who I suspect is one of the most cleverly devious people to ever be involved in British Politics. At least Gordon didn’t send his new dancing envoy to see Gadafi’s son - Arlene Phillips shouldn’t be an advisor on the colour of toffee wrappers let alone anything else!
I guess letting Biggs out first was paving the way for “compassion” and now I hear Madoff in the US has got cancer so may also be released on compassionate grounds rather than serve his 150 years prison sentence.
I might just go back to my book about the hangmen of Britain and ponder how much emptier the prisons could be.
