Blair continues to place his 'yes' men, in places of power in the Scottish parliament, tightening those puppet strings as this web site predicted almost 2 years ago.

One government (Labour minister) said of this yes men placement:
"That impression is simply wrong. I think Rafferty is perplexed by what's been said and written about him. He isn't London's man in Scotland - he is Donald's man and the two work very closely together. There is simply not one iota of evidence to suggest there is a Westminster or No 10 input."

John Rafferty IS Londons man in Scottish Labour, making sure that Donald - puppeteer junior, Dewar does Blairs bidding.
