Letter: Negative move
It was insulting enough for Labour to think that by swamping Scotland they could turn around their negative, uninspiring campaign and snatch victory for the looming (and quite deserved) jaws of defeat. However, the fact that many of these Labour members have no connection with Scotland and will have little or no firsthand knowledge of our needs and priorities, demonstrates succinctly the utter contempt that the Labour Party holds for Scotland's people.
Following its unprecedented campaign relaunch last week, Labour's minor change in tack and revival of the same tired broadside attack on the very the idea of independence, despite that fact that independence is not on the cards at this election, is depressing if not predictable.
