Scotland has another parcel of rogues

Note the neatly pressed clothes al-Megrahi wears in his alleged “death-bed”

Approx­i­mately ten months after SNP Sec­re­tary Kenny MacAskill granted the Locker­bie bomber a com­pas­sion­ate release from prison, the truth has finally come to light. MacAskill tried to tell the world he had med­ical evi­dence al-Megrahi was dying of prostate can­cer.  MacAskill then tried to tell the world the med­ical records were sealed at al-Megrahi’s request (which al-Megrahi is now pub­licly deny­ing).

And today’s news head­lines are now show­ing British Petro­leum lob­bied the U.K. for al-Megrahi’s release.

Of course Westminister’s newest toadie David Cameron has hur­riedly rushed a state­ment say­ing there was no deal.  Per­haps when the new­ness wears off his Prime Min­is­ter title, Cameron will under­stand the last liar doesn’t stand a chance.

Those who know me well also know I am extremely proud of my Scot­tish her­itage.  I am a staunch and vocal sup­porter for Scot­tish inde­pen­dence.  Scot­land is the land of my fore­bears and I love her with every last fiber of my being.  And I am sick­ened to dis­cover the SNP have been bought and sold for Eng­lish gold.  Those who fail to learn from his­tory are des­tined to repeat it, Mr. MacAskill.  Until Scot­land real­izes politi­cians like MacAskill are bow­ing to their West­min­ster mas­ters, I fear I will not live to see Scot­land declare her independence.

To Kenny MacAskill, I copy the words of the renowned poet, Robert Burns.  I hope he reads this and con­sid­ers the 270 lives that were lost to al-Megrahi’s fanati­cism as he does it.  I hope the chil­dren of Scot­land read this and rec­og­nize they have been duped.

Par­cel of Rogues In A Nation

Fare­weel to a’ our Scot­tish fame,
Fare­weel our ancient glory;
Fare­weel to e’en our Scot­tish name
Sae fam’d in sang and story.
Now Sark rins tae th’ Sol­way sands,
An’ Tweed runs t’ th’ ocean..
Tae mark whaur England’s Province stands:
Sic a par­cel of rogues in a nation!

What force or guile could not sub­due
Thro’ many war­like ages,
Is wrought now by a cow­ard few
For hireling traitor’s wages.
The Eng­lish steel we could dis­dain,
Secure in valour’s sta­tion.
But Eng­lish gold has been our bane:
Sic a par­cel of rogues in a nation!

Oh, would or had I seen the day
That trea­son thus could sell us!
My auld grey head had lien in clay,
Wi’ Bruce and loyal Wal­lace!
But, pith and power, till my last hour,
I’ll make this dec­la­ra­tion:
We were bought and sold for Eng­lish gold!
Sic a par­cel of rogues in a nation!
