Bookie pays out on Lockerbie bomber bet
UK Bookmaker and online casino, William Hill, has paid out early on a bet on the Lockerbie bomber. William Hill received a bet from former newspaper editor, Kelvin MacKenzie, that Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, would still be alive a year after being released from prison. MacKenzie placed a wager on Megrahi’s survival when the Scottish Cabinet for Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, condoned his release on compassionate grounds. The former editor has now received a cheque for £500, nine days before William Hill were due to pay out on the wager.
Megrahi was sentenced to life imprisonment in December 1988, after being found guilty of bombing an airplane over Scotland and killing 270 passengers. Megrahi was released from prison in August 2009, after it was revealed the Libyan was in the terminal stages of prostate cancer. Megrahi is currently living in Tripoli, the capital of Libya, with his family. The Lockerbie bomber’s release has sparked controversy, after BP suggested that they had lobbied the government for a Libya prison transfer agreement. However, the Scottish Government has made clear that they “had no contact from BP in relation to Mr Al-Megrahi”.

Who are you? Seal? Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man? Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
