Reader comment on: Britain: With Friends Like This Who Needs Enemies? Submitted by Stephen Franklin, Sep 11, 2009 05:14 This had nothing to do with the British government. The Scottish government has jurisdiction in matters concerning justice (the courts and prison system)in Scotland, and the English courts and British government have no say in the matter. The Scottish government is in the hands of the Scottish Nationalist Party, the only party that in Westminster stayed seated when Tony Blair got a standing ovation on leaving office as Prime Minister of Britain. Tony Blair's successor is Gordon Brown (Blair's finance minister) and the Scottish Nationalists show no more respect for Gordon Brown than they did for Tony Blair. Don't blame the British government for the actions of the Scottish government. It is like blaming a Republican President for a bill passed by a Democratic legislature.Note: Comments are screened, and in some cases edited, before posting.
