So no one's apparently interested that we have a new Prime Minister?

[Uncle Psychosis]

oh gawd, another conspiracy theorist, sometimes people are just guilty

Sometimes, but I thought his conviction was dodgy at the time and now I'm even more convinced it was dodgy. It doesnt take a conspiracy theorist to see that there are huge holes in the "evidence" against him.

Despite being 90% likely to be the innocent victim of a CIA stitch-up?

Here we go...nevermind thats its one of the most investigated cases in the UK with clear evidence and international agreement on suspects before Europe's independent court found guilty.

Just because it generated a lot of headlines doesn't mean it was clear cut. BBC timeline

[Brucelles]

I guess that's definitive then. We have all stopped talking about Broon and wandered off into something else, so the answer is that no, we are not interested.

[Dareos]

may well get more interest if discussed in what appears to be the appropriate forum

mebbe not tho

I struggle to see why you add the BBC timeline as a hyperlink since it seems again to show it was pretty conclusive in court that they accused were guilty. Some CIA papers were initially held back but released later in the trial. More were asked for but the judge decided these were irrelevant.

Sometimes conspiracy theorists just seem to want to make the world more exciting for themselves.

Brown wa a part of the decision-making process in going to war in Iraq, so he's a liar and a mass-murderer too. He's robbed the public blind for 10 years and ensured that those without a house to sell won't have much of a pension. An awful chancellor, he will be an awful PM.

Oh dear lord. He isn't a mass murderer at all. Neither is Tony Blair. And how exactly would YOU know that Iraq did not posses WMD - especially as Saddam had used them extensively before and had obstructed UN weapons inspectors. Frankly it was quite feasible that he had access to them.

Regarding Brown, I dont trust him, he has raised taxes excessively whilst done nothing to reduce the increases in house prices and excessive personal borrowing levels. In addition he's squeezed the defence budget (Brown dislikes the military) despite high levels of commitment which has led to the various defence reviews of the past 10 years being scrapped due to lack of funds.

The only saving grace for Brown is that he had the sense to stay out of the Euro when Blair wanted to go in.

Never gonna happen, and the English parliament can bloody well stop passing laws and making deals that affect the Scottish one too, the Lockerbie bomber is staying here, for good.

Which English parliament is this you speak of? The West Lothian question is one of the greatest injustices to happen to democracy. It should be Gordon Brown's second highest priority to address the imbalance. First of course is getting out of Iraq.

Blaire, Brown etc etc...............all the bloody same!

7) Removal of positive discrimination.

I was informed by someone from the University's Equality and Diversity section that Positive Discrimination was just as illegal as 'negative' discrimination, and no one was allowed to be employed based on their gender, ethnic background or sexuality. However, proving that this is the case is nigh on impossible unless someone says "yes, I employed her because she's a woman and we've got too many men here"

that would be the one based in London

[pollaxe]

Where we've had two Scottish PMs in a row.

so we should just up sticks and leave?

who live in England

[pollaxe]

I think they both have more than one home but yes, certainly London was still in England last time I checked.

[Dareos]

and as far as I am concerned, they can stay there. Scotland is its own country, Devolution is well under way, if not fully completed and whilst I think it would be extreme to completely divide such a small island, i do believe that each country should fall under its own rule if that country so chooses.
