Brief extract from the Guardian report on the link in the last posting to this thread "She (Wendy Alexander, Labour leader in the Scottish Parliament) said: "The SNP tactics are all about delay and fomenting grievance. I firmly believe the SNP should not be allowed to control the question, the timing and the agenda. It is the SNP running scared here. They don't speak for Scotland's interests, they speak for themselves." The Scottish National party (SNP), which does not favour producing a referendum bill until 2010 at the earliest, took delight in the "unorganised and freelance operation" run by Alexander and claimed Labour was in turmoil on the issue."
