Without them the planning committee would have been unable to make a decision. Not only would have 200 proposed jobs been lost but so could have 300 existing jobs since the bank was threatening to foreclose.<BR/><BR/>The SNP Government Ministers responde to local politicians concerns by asking SEPA why there was a delay. At that point they withdrew them and then accusations started flying that the SNP Ministers had prejudiced the process.<BR/><BR/>Funny that. Eh Nick?<BR/><BR/>Oh and Laura came north one week to do a report on reactions to the SNP Government for the 10 o'clock news. Two of the "ordinary" voters she interviewed were well known to the SNP as Labour activists.<BR/><BR/>Like father, like daughter.Lorra Coins Berknoreply@blogger.com
