Labour exclude SNP from information

Labours manifesto lie

Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar has rejected a plea from the Scottish National Party to meet with civil servants beforethe first Scottish parliamentary elections.

This is a breach in protocol and trust.

Labour was given such access to the Scottish Office 16 months before the general election.

SNP leader, Alex Salmond, is now writing to Tony Blair (Prime Minister) to demand this decision be overruled.

It is a waste of effort, Blair will do everything he can in his undemocratic nature to stop the SNP from helping the Scots move from subservience to Londons whims.
