The Megrahi effect...

So here we are, the morning after the Megrahi Wikileak. Citizens of a normal country expect to be able to go to their newspapers and read all about the most contentious story in Scotlands recent history. A story that has lead the hyperbole on everything from boycotts of Scotland and Scottish goods, demands that our First Minister and Justice Secretary appear before another countries Senate committee, that his release somehow was responsible for Gary McKinnon's likely extradition, that he was released on the orders of BP. A whole panapoly of accusations, lies, cant and hypocrisy from Labour, Tory and Lib Dem politicians have filled our pages for the past 15 months. So one might reasonably expect that Scotland's fair and impartial media would have some comments to make on the 'Megrahi effect', particularly the opportunity to justify them standing up on their hind legs and braying like donkeys at every possible opportunity. 

So how does BBC Scotland, our nations favourite broadcaster, report the biggest  story this year in their 'What the Scottish Papers' say section? 

Not a chuffing word. But hey let's keep banging on about the weather and how it's the SNP's fault.

Never mind, surely it's reported elsewehere in Scotland, let's see what the Unionist politicians had to say about it in the Scotsman's version...

  
Oh, not a sausage.

Nevermind BBC Radio Scotland have just had an interview with the Tartan Overlord -- about the weather...
