Boycott Scotland gathers pace
DVH
What's at stake? Exports of around �2.7 billion, according to latest figures
(http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Economy/Exports/SGCS2006tables).
That's compared to exports of 850 million to the whole of Africa, of which
Libya is likely to be a trivial proportion.
The US is Scotland's most important export market if you disregard the rest
of the UK. Americans buy 100 million bottles of whisky for $370 million
every year.
American visitors to Scotland spent �257 million in 2007, making them the
commonest and highest spending tourists.
3,000 small businesses export from Scotland.
"A FURIOUS anti-Scottish backlash over the decision to free the Lockerbie
bomber erupted last night as Americans threatened to cancel trips across the
Atlantic and were urged to stop doing business with Scotland.
The Scottish tourism agency VisitScotland confirmed it had received e-mails
from Americans saying they no longer wanted to holiday in Scotland in the
aftermath of Kenny MacAskill's decision to free Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed
al-Megrahi."

I don't think this will worry the Scots too much. Any drop-off in revenues
will be subsidised by their ever-benevolent English neighbours.

torture and imprisonment without trial?

Your precious Moronican bullies got sand kicked in their faces, and you're
unhappy. I think that's as intricate as we need to get in order to
understand your "agenda" here, Divveh.

You said something along the lines of "I bet you support the yanks on this".
Always keen to show a polite interest I asked, "do you?"
You then said no. I was a bit confused in light of your earlier statement,

Seriously though, if this gathers pace, it will be interesting to see how

The US army officer convicted for his part in the My Lai massacre
during the Vietnam War has offered his first public apology, a US
report says.
"There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what
happened," Lt William Calley was quoted as saying by the Columbus
Ledger-Enquirer.
He was addressing a small group at a community club in Columbus,
Georgia.
Calley, 66, was convicted on 22 counts of murder for the 1968 massacre
of 500 men, women and children in Vietnam.
He was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the killings in
1971. Then-US President Richard Nixon commuted his sentence to three
years' house arrest.!!!
3 years! That's less than the Libyan Bomber!!!!!!!

Oh you clever people.
Pounds not dollars. But that still makes it �3.70 a bottle.
"More than �371m of Scotch whisky was sold to the US last year, accounting
for more than 100 million bottles"

The US government has supported, and still supports, some of the most
viscious and oppresive regimes and terrorist organisations in the world. \
It also hypocritically allowed it's people to openly raise funds for the IRA
to kill British people for decades.
Giving a Scotttish prisoner the same rights as everyone else gets under
Scottish law - regardless that he was so obviously framed - is our
perogative and is none of the USA's damn business.
Screw them. Let them stay home.

Obviously he is referring to this.
"The men of the Vincennes were all awarded Combat Action Ribbons for
completion of their tours in a combat zone. Lustig, the air-warfare
coordinator, received the Navy Commendation Medal, often given for acts of
heroism or meritorious service, but a not-uncommon end-of-tour medal for a
second tour division officer. According to the History Channel, the medal
citation noted his ability to "quickly and precisely complete the firing
procedure."

Especially when somone on that warship has an itchy trigger finger.
"According to the US government, the crew mistakenly identified the Iranian

Brain-dead will almost certainly be ignorant of the fact that the Frogs did
something similar - awarding medals to two terrorists who sank the Rainbow
Warrior, murdering one of the crew in the process.
"...No Kidding
On September 21, France finally admitted its responsibility for sinking the
Rainbow Warrior. The United Nations was called in to mediate a settlement
between France and New Zealand. Eventually the French government was forced
into an unconvincing apology and ordered to pay NZ$13 million to the New
Zealand government. Later still, Greenpeace received US$8 million from
France. This enabled us to build the replacement for the Rainbow Warrior,
the current Rainbow Warrior II.
On November 4, the trial of Captain Prieur and Major Mafart began.and ended.
The pair entered guilty pleas, thus avoiding a lengthy trial and the
possibility of more revelations to rock the French establishment. They were
sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
In the months that followed, France exerted serious economic pressure on New
Zealand over dairy exports and a deal was struck allowing Prieur and Mafart
to serve their time in a French military prison. They served a little over
two years of their sentences before being freed and returned to Paris, where
they were honored with military medals and resumed their careers...."

Quite why anyone would take seriously the nation which harboured

Quite why anyone should take seriously a nation which tortures

Boycott Scotland and the United Kingdom
Don't Free Abdel Baset al-Megrahi!
''It is very hard to get at the truth, and yet [leading Labour Party
peer]
Lord Mandelson is seen with the Libyan President's son. It is very clear
that the British Government are in this up to their neck. I view all
this noise
as party politics in a rather crude way."
- Lord Owen, Former British Foreign Secretary
Source: US ire grows as Lockerbie bomber gets hero's welcome
The government of Scotland has decided to release convicted Lockerbie
terrorist bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi on "compassionate grounds."
The government of the United Kingdom has washed its hands of the entire
affair, allowing the Scottish government total freedom in taking this
perfidious action against the families of the victims of Pan Am Flight
103.
The actions of the Scottish government are inexcusable. A man who is
responsible for the mass murder of 270 innocent civilians must be held
accountable for such a cold blooded and ruthless act. Freeing a
terrorist in order to further ties with the tyrannical Libyan regime of
Muammar al-Gaddafi and to further the commercial interests of British
Petroleum in that region is repulsive and sickening.
Unless the Scottish government rescinds this decision to release
al-Megrahi, and if the British Parliament continues to avoid
intervening in the matter, we urge all Americans to protest this action
by boycotting the United Kingdom and Scotland in full. Don't travel to
Scotland or do business there (or in the United Kingdom in general) and
don't buy any British or Scottish products.
Most especially after the horrific events of 9/11, the world needs to
be reminded that terrorism must be punished and never rewarded.
Terrorists must never be shown compassion or mercy, for these people
have no respect for human life. The British, who ironically have
themselves been victim to numerous acts of terrorism on their own soil,
seem to have forgotten. They need a reminder, and protesting by
boycotting travel and business with Scotland and the United Kingdom is
the best way of doing so.
"To my friends in Scotland; the Scottish National Party, and Scottish
Prime Minister, and the Foreign Secretary, I praise their courage for
having proved their independence in decision making, despite the
unacceptable and unreasonable pressures they faced. Nevertheless, they
took this courageously right and humanitarian decision ... my friend
Brown, the Prime Minister of Britain, his government, the Queen of
Britain, Elizabeth, and Prince Andrew, who all contributed to
encouraging the Scottish government to take this historic and
courageous decision, despite the obstacles."
- Muammar al-Gaddafi, Dictator of Libya
Source: Libya's Gadhafi welcomes home Lockerbie bomber
UPDATE: The government of Scotland has officially freed the terrorist
al-Megrahi to return to Libya, according to the latest AP news report.
Americans need to respond to this outrageous miscarriage of justice and
betrayal of the victims' families, who were mostly fellow Americans, by
refusing to spend their tourist dollars in Scotland and avoiding any
kind of business there. Boycotting is the only way to send a clear and
direct message to both the Scottish and British governments that
Americans will not tolerate such a flagrant betrayal.
No words can ever express the sorrow that those of us who lost loved
ones in that terrible tragedy at this moment in time. To show your
solidarity with the families of the victims, please spread the word to
your family and friends and remind them to never forget what the
Scottish government has done and to take this into account whenever
they consider a trip to the British Isles.
Here in the United States, boycott all BP gas stations, since the money
you spend there ends up in the pockets of those in the United Kingdom
responsible for this travesty.
Mr. MacAskill, the so-called "Justice" Secretary of Scotland, you
should be ashamed of yourself. You know nothing of justice, nor will we
ever forgive your heinous action, and it is our sincere hope that the
people of Scotland will strongly voice their opposition to what you
have done. You have shown to the international community that your
government and the United Kingdom as a whole will stop at nothing to
pursue the neverending and relentless acquisition of oil revenues.
When will it ever end?
"On the occasion of this historic event, I would like to express my
sincere gratitude to the Government of Scotland for taking this
courageous decision ... I would also like to personally thank our
friends in the British government who played an important role in
reaching this day, and I can assure them that the Libyan people will
never forget the courageous stand of the British and Scottish
governments. I can also assure them that the friendship between our
people will continue to be strengthened and that this past chapter is
now firmly behind us."
- Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi, son of Muammar al-Gaddafi
Source: Statement by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi on the release of Abdel
Basset al-Megrahi
NOTE: While most emails have thus far been very supportive, whether
they be from Americans, British citizens, and many others, there have
been a few British and Scottish individuals who have sent threatening
and extremely defamatory messages towards American relatives and
friends of the Lockerbie victims.
Lest there be any doubt, this boycott is not aimed against the people
of Scotland or the United Kingdom, but against the governments of
Scotland and Britain. The unfortunate reality is that initiating
boycotts against the tourism, banking, and oil industries of a
particular country are necessary in order to force that government to
listen and understand and admit their error.
The influence of British Petroleum in this entire charade has been well
known and discussed quite often, most especially in the United Kingdom.
But thus far the British and Scottish legislatures have refused to take
any action or admit that such commercial interests have taken
precedence, rather than such dubious claims of "compassion."
To those brave souls in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom who
stand against the corruption of their politicians and are willing to
stand with us in protecting the memories and legacy of the victims of
Pan Am Flight 103, your support is graciously appreciated.
VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION
Mr. MacAskill may be emailed at
kenny.mac...@scottish.parliament.uk
Mr. Alex Salmond, Leader of the Scottish National Party, has also
snubbed the families of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103 and dismissed
our concerns. He may be emailed at
Alex.Sal...@scottish.parliament.uk
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has thus far remained silent regarding the
matter, nor has he condemned the Scottish government for its
reprehensible actions. Why should he, considering that his own
government is complicit with the Scottish National Party in this sordid
travesty?
The Office of the Prime Minister may be emailed via the following web
form. According to their site, however, postal mail is preferable to
email.
Oppose any attempt by American industries, particularly the oil
companies, to take advantage of the Lockerbie scandal by writing to
President Obama and making clear that any trade relations between Libya
and the United States is an insult to the victims of Pan Am Flight 103.
In 2006 the Bush Administration removed Libya from the list of state
sponsors of terror and we do not expect that this will ever be reversed
by the current administration. However, the Obama Administration must
take a stand and condemn any attempt by American corporations to take
advantage of the current situation to justify business with a brutal
regime on the grounds that the British are doing the same.
Write to your representatives in Congress and let them know that you
will not tolerate any trade relations between the United States and
Libya and encourage them to voice stronger condemnation of the Scottish
release of al-Megrahi.
American oil conglomerates and big business interests have long awaited
a window of opportunity to exploit and the governments of Scotland and
the United Kingdom have provided them with one. As tax-paying American
citizens, we have the power to make sure that doesn't happen. If your
current representatives are not willing to take a stand against trade
with Libya, vote them out of office during the next election.
The memories of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103 will not and must not
ever be desecrated in the name of corporate greed and international
"diplomacy." The recent outrage and backlash against the actions of the
Scottish and British governments should serve as a constant and
uncompromising reminder to American politicians and corporations to not
make the same mistake.
"Above all, I believe that the public are entitled to know what you
think of the decision to release Megrahi, and whether you consider it
was right or wrong ... The fact that the decision to release was taken
by the Scottish Justice Secretary does not preclude you, as the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom, from now expressing your opinion on a
subject that is of great public concern, and which affects Britain's
international reputation and our relations with our allies."

LISTS OF COMPANIES IN SCOTLAND TO BOYCOTT
We have been receiving many emails asking about companies doing
business in Scotland to boycott. A number of people have suggested
expanding the Wikipedia list of companies doing business in Scotland.
There are web directories of British businesses and companies in
Scotland. Visit the official Made in Scotland website for a
comprehensive list.
According to the Scotsman, "Americans are the biggest contributors to
Scotland's ?980 million overseas tourism market, accounting for 14 per
cent of foreign visitors." Already the negative effect upon the
Scottish tourist industry is being sharply felt, no matter how hard the
Scottish Tourist Board tries to spin the facts.
The best way to boycott the Scottish decision is to simply not travel
to Scotland. Ireland has been advocated by many as the best alternative
to those who regularly travel to and conduct business in Scotland. Many
have advocated avoiding Scotch whisky and opting for American,
Canadian, or Irish whiskies.
From the very beginning we have advocated the boycott of British
Petroleum and other major British companies that have been lobbying for
closer trade relations with Libya. As the news continues to unfold,
more and more evidence is mounting regarding BP's role in this affair,
as well as that of other major British industries seeking a foothold in
the increasingly lucrative Libyan market. It has now become clear that
the release of al-Megrahi was a concession made towards this end.

LETTERS OF SUPPORT
(Why are there no letters of condemnation or criticism?)
A QUESTION TO CONSIDER FOR THOSE WHO CALL FOR COMPASSION
Is there any ultimate difference between a terrorist and serial killer?
NO.
In the end, both kill for the sake of killing, murdering innocents for
whatever sickness or insanity that drives them.
No civilized society would dare show compassion to serial killers.
Why should terrorists be shown any compassion or mercy?
To those who wish to bring Christianity into this, to use religion as
an excuse for the contemptible behavior and actions of the Scottish and
British governments, perhaps you are forgetting something about our
great country that makes it inherently different from your form of
government, where you do not have separation of Church and State.
America is a secular nation.

If the US ran a boycott of Scotland, or Britain as whole (and I suspect most
Americans are savvie enough to see through bullshit) because of the politics
of a politician releasing someone to go and die at home - then maybe we
could think "who the hell needs friends like that anyway"? Maybe then we
could bring our lads home from Afghanistan and stop them getting killed in a
war which was basically entered in support of the US. It seems to me that
no-one has anything to gain out of jingoistic posturing against friendly
countries.

You are thick, Al-Megrahi is one, he was convicted of the bombing of
the flight Pan Am 103
But I suppose you do not regard blowing up commercial aircraft and
murdering 270 people as terrorism?
aaa
I really do not care about the "niceties" of terrorist mass murder
supporting Scottish culture.
aaa
Except that countries which support the cowardly mass murder of 270
people by bombing a commercial airliner are not friendly in my book
So if you want to sell out justice to terrorist fine, but do not
surprised when there are consequencies.
P.S. your support for the Taliban is noted.
Robert Peffers
Of course we do. So is the shooting down of an Iranian civilian Airbus with
the death of 66 children and 266 adults by a USA missile ship. That ship was
illegally in Iranian waters and that aircraft was within its own countries
airspace. BTW: Why did the USA decorate the entire command and crew for
doing so? The yanks do seem to have very short memories.

right of the country that has jurisdiction over where the terrorist act
happened to exercise the quality of mercy. The offender, and there are grave
doubts about his guilt, has had his sentence commuted to a death sentence by
a far higher authority than either the Scottish justice system or of Barak
Obama himself. We do not support terrorism and \that includes the USA act of
terrorism that shot a civilian air liner from the air with the loss of life
of 66 children and 266 adults. Have you never heard of the downing of flight
IR655 by a USS ship that was illegally in Iranian waters while the aircraft
was in its own airspace. Nor do we support the people of the USA who
decorated the entire command and crew of the ship that shot the Iranian
plane down. It was that act that fostered the retaliation brought down the
plane over Lockerbie.
Bob.
djornsk
As I understand it the conviction is generally regarded as unsound,
there is considerable doubt that Al-Megrahni was responsible for the
bombing, there was a de facto denial of an appeal.
Certainly those responsible for the bombing should answer for it but it
would be good to get the right person/s.
