BP lobbied UK over Libyan prisoner transfer case
(Reuters) - BP confirmed on Thursday it had lobbied the British government in late 2007 over a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with Libya because it was concerned a slow resolution would impact an offshore drilling deal with Libya.
"BP told the UK government that we were concerned about the slow progress that was being made in concluding a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with Libya," BP said in a statement on Thursday.
"We were aware that this could have a negative impact on UK commercial interests, including the ratification by the Libyan government of BP's exploration agreement."
BP said, however, it was not involved in discussions regarding the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi.
"The decision to release al-Megrahi in August 2009 was taken by the Scottish government. It is not for BP to comment on the decision of the Scottish government. BP was not involved in any such discussions about the release of al-Megrahi," it said.

So there we have it, not an outright admission but enough to make a case for Big Business taking over the running of OUR COUNTRY and it's ability to turn our judical system on it's head.
As this short article make sit clear that BP have been able to affect the "Prisoner release scheme" in regards to Libyan prisoners held in British prisons.
We now have a De-Facto Government run by "BIG BUSINESS". That's why OUR LAWS and sentences are meaningless , OUR COUNTRY, it's LAND and PEOPLE mean NOTHING to Multi-National companies like BP, who can influence British Governments to disregard it's requirements to look after the People and Culture of this land.
Is it not time we took control of OUR COUNTRY ?
