Eddie Barnes - Brown still unclear on Megrahi
Gordon Brown has just issued another statement on the release of the Lockerbie bomber. He repeated his point that this was a matter for Scottish Ministers. He said he had told Colonel Gaddafi of this point when he met his recently. He pointed out that it was in the wider interests of the UK and the wider world to welcome Libya back into the international community. He insisted there was no double-dealing with regard to Mr Megrahi's release.
"There was no conspiracy, no cover-up, no double-dealing, no deal on oil, no attempt to influence Scottish ministers."
But so far as I could tell, he still didn't say whether or not he believed freeing Mr Megrahi was a good thing or not. As a result, the statement will have failed to lay the issue to rest.

Gordon Brown is the biggest political coward of his generation. He isn't expressing an opinion because he just can't step up to the plate. It was the same during the Blair years. When things got tough, Brown hid away.
Brown came out of hiding to comment on the cricket win for England, so at least we knew he was still alive I suppose, but this hiding under your bed tactic has not worked this time.
The same farcical nature was demonstrated by the dire labour 'opposition' in our Parliament who had to play party politics as usual with the Scottish Government, running down scotland and pretending that they weren't at odds with their Westminster bosses when they really were.
