Confirmed: Lockerbie bomber release was linked to a commercial deal...

Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset  al-Megrahi was released in 2009; allegedly on humanitarian grounds because he was near death. He lived 3 more years. That wasn't Britain's finest moment...

Via The Telegraph:

An email sent by the then British ambassador in Tripoli details how a prisoner transfer agreement would be signed once Libya “fulfils its promise” to buy an air defence system.

The disclosure is embarrassing for members of the then Labour government, which always insisted that Abdelbaset al-Megrahi’s release was not linked to commercial deals.

The email, which contained a briefing on the UK’s relations with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, was sent on June 8 2008 by Sir Vincent Fean, the then UK ambassador, to Tony Blair’s private office, ahead of a visit soon after he stepped down as prime minister.

Mr Blair flew to Tripoli to meet Gaddafi on June 10, in a private jet provided by the dictator, one of at least six visits Mr Blair made to Libya after quitting Downing Street.

Nanny State Alert: British CCTV will stop gas pumps for uninsured and untaxed vehicles

If you hate red light cameras, you will really despise this idea.

(Mirror News)- Cameras at petrol stations will automatically stop uninsured or untaxed vehicles from being filled with fuel, under new government plans.

Downing Street officials hope the hi-tech system will crack down on the 1.4million motorists who drive without insurance.

Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras are already fitted in thousands of petrol station forecourts.

Drivers can only fill their cars with fuel once the camera has captured and logged the vehicle’s number plate.

Currently the system is designed to deter motorists from driving off without paying for petrol.

But under the new plans, the cameras will automatically cross-refererence with the DVLA’s huge database.

When a car is flagged as being uninsured or untaxed, the system will prevent the fuel pump being used on that vehicle.

Priceless: New 50% British Tax Rate Causes Revenue To Drop Sharply

Wake up and Pay attention President Obama.

Shockingly, well off Britons maneuvered their finances to avoid the new 50% tax rate. Who would have thought it?

The amount of income tax paid fell sharply last month in the first formal indication that the new 50p higher rate is not raising the expected amount of revenue.

The Treasury received £10.35 billion in income tax payments from those paying by self-assessment last month, a drop of £509 million compared with January 2011. Most other taxes produced higher revenues over the same period.

Senior sources said that the first official figures indicated that there had been “manoeuvring” by well-off Britons to avoid the new higher rate. The figures will add to pressure on the Coalition to drop the levy amid fears it is forcing entrepreneurs to relocate abroad.

500,000 British Nanny State Lovers Rally

When a society reaches a tipping point where the majority depend on socialistic government policies and government jobs, reform becomes almost impossible.

Between 400,000 and 500,000 teachers, nurses, firefighters, council and NHS workers, other public sector employees, students, pensioners and campaign groups from across the UK marched through central London to a rally where union officials and Labour leader Ed Miliband condemned the "brutal" cuts in jobs and services.

As you can see the British have already reached the tipping point. When you try to reign in the nanny state, the lefties get violent.

Violence flared away from the rally when a group of hundreds of activists, not connected with the union protest, clashed with police. They set off fireworks, threw paint and attacked shops in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Piccadilly.

If Democrats and President Obama have their way, America will soon be in the same situation. What happened in Wisconsin is just a prelude of things to come.
