The Libyan killer of a British policewoman will never be brought to justice in Britain after a secret deal approved by Jack Straw.

The Foreign Office bowed to Libyan pressure and agreed that Britain would abandon any attempt to try the murderer of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, shot outside the Libyan embassy in London 25 years ago.

Anthony Layden, Britain’s former ambassador to Libya, said this weekend he had signed the agreement with the Libyan government three years ago, when Straw was foreign secretary. At the time Britain was negotiating trade deals worth hundreds of millions of pounds with Libya.

The deal followed a visit by Tony Blair, then prime minister, to meet Colonel Gadaffi in March 2004 after Libya announced that it was ending its nuclear weapons programme.

The disclosure will provoke criticism of the government after the row over the early release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber.

"The disclosure will provoke criticism of the government after the row over the early release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber."

If the British voters don't give this government an enema next year, they deserve what they've got.

The elites in England are doing all they can to prevent the Muslim States from calling on the ‘Muslims in England’ to riot and topple them. Tell me England is not being bribed.

Sad when you reach this state of affairs.

England, once proud and strong, now corrupt and morally bankrupt to it’s very core.

Well they are starting a roll as we are. A recently elected mayor of a southern town issued a proclomation ending political correctness for public policy decisions.

And we're just two steps behind them. Obama has already taken to bowing down and kissing the hand of Saudi royalty. It's all about the life blood of the developed world: oil. For as long as we fail to drill our own, the house of Saud and their Wahabi henchmen will have us all by the short hairs.

Why ruin your Sunday by watching TV? It’s so yesterday to watch TV and allow their propaganda to effect you.

I think yesterday was FNC trying not to go to far overboard.

We know what we saw, and saw what we saw, and many of us did. We got 3000 people to a street corner in our area. No one has eneough money to buy this much ‘astroturf’.

Talk about “Blood for Oil”.

The police woman who was slain was a lovely 25 year old young lady.

What a damn shame.
