Megrahi's release

20th July 2010. A business group set up by our own lovable lying Jack Straw played a central role in lobbying for the urgent release of the Lockerbie bomber to prevent damage to British trade links. Its chairman, Tory peer Lord Trefgarne, wrote to Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill in July warning that failure to release Megrahi would cast a 'shadow' over business relations with Libya - harming the interests of firms such as BP, which has struck a £15billion oil exploration deal with Tripoli. He wrote: 'The Libyan authorities have made it clear that should he die in prison in Scotland there will be serious implications for UK-Libyan relations. He stated he had no regrets over his decision to release the convicted murderer Megrahi. BP has admitted lobbying the British government in 2007 over a prisoner transfer agreement with Libya, but denied specifically discussing the evil scumbag Megrahi.
