We don’t want their gun laws...." Blah, blah, blah. This is NOT just about the release! It's about how leftists (read note above), have apparently taken over the UK, like they're trying to do in the US. You refuse entry to Michael Savage because he's a conservative talk show host in the US (ewwwwww!), you are beginning to have complete PC BS running rampant now in the UK, and FURTHER we're just now sick of your SHIT. THIS was just a final straw! Stay on your side of the pond! We'll happily do the same! ” Tired of these uneducated hicks thinking all countries have live like they do.

Most Americans are not hicks and do know where Scotland is. I'm quite certain that just like over here in the states, your citizens are wonderful people but your politicians & equally importantly your media are deceitful and corrupt. I won't participate in any kind of a boycott as I'm convinced that the boys in London & Washington made the real decision on this - Scotland is just lost in the shuffle. I feel terribly sorry for all of the families of the victims that had to witness a willing participant in their loved one's murder receive a hero's welcome home.

We in Scotland can't stop you from boycotting everything Scottish but that just makes you seem to us no better than the terrorists we are supposed to be fighting and rekindles the hurt felt in Scotland when the American people so willingly gave support and money to the terrorist organisation (the IRA) that killed so many Scots soldiers, not to mention the inocent men women and children they slaughtered and your politicians feted their leaders as some kind of freedom fighters. I don't know what the hell you want us to do about MacAskill and the other sods that done the deal with Qaddafi other than what we will be doing at the next election and booting them out of power (the democratic way) Or is it that you just want to punish us as seems to be the case. Maybe this is an opportunity for both our peoples to re evaluate what we both obviously mistook as friendship and common purpose. The rantings coming from both sides of the Atlantic are shameful.

Their economy is weak enough without the world turning on them for their blunders. The US should think rather carefully before suggesting foreign policy is a reason for consumer trade boycott.

Could I just point out the following..... The American navy shot down a plane full of civilian passengers from Iran. Common knowledge. In return the Ayotollah promised "American blood will rain from the skies". They not only blew up the Pan Am flight , they TOLD you they were going to. So as a result of Americas actions SCOTTISH people died as well. If Al-Megrahi was the scapegoat he should have stayed in prison. However, if Americans think boycotting Scotland is a good idea perhaps they should consider how many friends they actually have internationally? There are lots of people here have American relations and friends. More importantly there are Scottish soldiers being killed and injured every day in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting Americas war. Rather than boycotting our whisky why not take your nuclear weapons from our country?? While you are at it , do not ever bomb anyone in Europe or anywhere else , using OUR country as a base to mount your attacks. In general Scottish people and Americans get on in my experience. Most Americans I have met are well mannered , polite and amicable. So I do hope it is the minority that are involved in these Scottish hate campaigns or boycotts. Perhaps the minority should remember that Scottish people and Americans have a good relationship. I doubt the same could be said about: Somalians,,Venezuellans,Pakistanis,Bosnians,Iranians,Cubans,Afghans,Vietnamese,Syrians,North Koreans,Russians,Palestinians,Libyans,Chinese,etc etc etc etc etc etc etc....

Is that considered to be terrorism, or is it another inconvenient truth?

It was a civilian airliner shot down by the USS Vincennes. Every one of those families feel the same loss as those who died over Lockerbie but somehow there isn't a Twitter campaign to vilify the captain who shot it down. At least they know who pulled the trigger. The representatives of the Lockerbie families in the UK have never accepted that Megrahi was anything other than someone put up to satisfy US public opinion... there needed to be someone brought to account... serious legal opinion is divided over whether he did it; but if he did he was acting as a representative of Libya who we have been bringing into the international fold and luring away from its terrorist past. Like the USA it used to fund terrorism in Ireland. When Megrahi landed in Libya they were flying the Scottish flag not burning it; they saw it as a peace offering. However hard it may seem to those of you who believe the verdict against Megrahi, this week Kenny MacAskill made us less not more likely to be the target of Islamic terrorism. 290 people died on a plane in 1988.
