SO NOW we learn that Gordon Brown’s government did all it could to ensure Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset-Al-Megrahi was freed from prison.

But do not forget 270 people died, and that colossal oil deals were signed during the build-up to the release of this murderer.

In the light of the rescue fiasco of Brits stranded in Libya, could not Gadaffi’s old muckers, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, have intervened in the rescue under the ‘old pals’ act?
