Update On Recent Blogs

Thought I’d update you on a couple of things I blogged about recently. Firstly, there is a new investigation into the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. If you read my last post on this subject (5^th October), you’ll realize that the Al Megrahi trial was a bit of a farce and the conviction would never have stood in a ‘normal’ court.

I’m sure there were all sorts of deals happening in the background of the trial and the subsequent conviction and appeal, but most commentators accepted that Megrahi could not have acted alone (if indeed he was involved at all) and the new investigation is designed to establish if anyone else was involved.

I reckon that with Megrahi supposedly dying, they wont bother to prove or disprove his innocence or guilt and so the focus of the new investigation is into the eight other suspects, none of whom were even interviewed.

You know – the more you hear of this, the more you realize that something really smelly went on!

Secondly, I wrote the other day about Sarkozy trying to force his son, Jean, into the chairmanship of La Défense, the Canary Wharf look-alike. Well Jean, or Prince Jean as the French press have dubbed him, has withdrawn from the ‘race’ despite the fact that there was NO race. He cited the bad publicity his father was getting and explained that it would be best for all concerned if he continued colouring-in and listening to stories at his kindergarten, rather than run one of Europe’s most important business centres. A good result for La Défense but of course the Sarkozy clan are trying to claim some credit for actually listening to the French public. Have they no shame? Sorry – they’re politicians and as we know from the floating duck house, the bath plug and the porn films, all claimed for on expenses, politicians don’t know the meaning of the word !

PS – a bit of a cop-out this blog but I had a late dinner party last night and looking at the half-empty (half full ?) port decanter, I’m surprised I that I can even open my PC and boot it up!
