I think this has more to do with Scotland trying to take an independant stance than anything else. They SNP desperately want to differentiate themselves from the Westminster government.
Good on them, but I wish they would go completely. They're like an annoying teenager, always moaning about their parents but refusing to move out because it's too comfy at home. Mum always does their washing.
This quote from the Scottish Justice Secretary sums it up nicely (we are Scottish, not British):
"In Scotland, we are a people who pride ourselves on our humanity. It is viewed as a defining characteristic of Scotland and the Scottish people. The perpetration of an atrocity and outrage cannot and should not be a basis for losing sight of who we are, the values we seek to uphold, and the faith and beliefs by which we seek to live."
Unfortunately this doesn't have a lot to do with Lockerbie or the people that died.
