But I'm telling this to the folks that freed the Lockerbie bomber. Excellent work.
The Lockerbie bomber was released by the Scottish Government, not the UK Government. I for one did not even have the opportunity to vote for any Scottish administration, living in England as I do.
67 police officers have been killed by firearms on mainland UK since 1900 - the equivalent fugure for the US is 7,000 - one hundred times as many for a population of about six times as great.
