Are Scottish Politicians Soft on Terror? II

The BBC have just conducted an opinion poll of 1005 Scots about the, in my view, disgraceful release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber. Terrorism needs to be resisted by our elected representatives, not rewarded by them.

It is reassuring to see that 70% of those disagreed with the Scottish politicians who made this decision. Here is the link to the details of the BBC poll: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/28_08_09_megrahipoll.pdf

This does appear to reaffirm the opinion of the blogosphere that this decision has harmed Scotland and the Scottish Prime Minister of the UK, Gordon Brown. Next time Mr Alex Salmond, the leader of the SNP, derides the opinion of bloggers as being unrelated to the real world whilst politicians have to make "hard choices", perhaps he could live by his words and make the "hard choice" of LISTENING TO HIS ELECTORATE when it comes to dealing with convicted terrorists.

Given that he is a professional politician who wishes to split up the UK, I have to say, fat chance of that happening.
