In Case It Wasn't Clear

In case it wasn't clear, the Upper Miliband has denied with uncompromising categoricality that the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi has any connection whatever with British commercial interests. To imply that any consideration was given to the profits of BP, Shell, British Gas, Barclays, GlaxoSmithKline, British service companies or the Kenneth Clarke Cancer Consortium would be a slur upon the Upper Miliband and a slur on the Government which the Upper Miliband not only serves, but has bungled taking over on at least one occasion. The Upper Miliband has stated with categorical scrupulosity that the British Government's sayings in this matter have been sayings of scrupulous uncompromisicality: "We have been scrupulous in saying this decision should be made by the Scottish authorities; we have been scrupulous in saying that to the Libyans, we have been scrupulous in saying that to the Americans." If there is one activity over which New New Labour can be said to be scrupulous now and then, it is in saying things to people.
