David Cameron Does A U-Turn Over The Date Of A Scottish Referendum

The SNP campaign director Angus Robertson MP said: "After a year of huffing and puffing and trying to dictate the timescale of Scotland's referendum from Westminster, Mr Moore and the anti-independence parties have collapsed in a heap over the date. "It is a very welcome step forward, but begs the question of why they spent such a long time making a fuss about something that even the Prime Minister says he is 'not fussed' about. Mr Robertson pointed out that the Electoral Commission had drawn "particular attention" to the need to allow proper time to prepare for the referendum. He added: "Having lost on the process, this is a serious blow to the credibility of the No campaign in terms of the substance of the debate on Scotland's future."
The launch of the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign on Friday saw famous faces such as actors Brian Cox and Alan Cumming team up with politicians including First Minister Alex Salmond. Supporters at the event, staged in an Edinburgh cinema, signed a "Yes declaration" stating it is "fundamentally better" if decisions about the country's future are taken by the people of Scotland. The campaign aims to get 1,000,000 voters to sign the declaration before the referendum.

Dennis Canavan Speaks Out About His Conversion

The former Labour party veteran has spoken out about his conversion to the cause of Scottish Independence. He told the Good Morning Scotland programme: "My conversion stems from my experience of 25 years as a Westminster MP and eight years as an MSP. "That experience forced me to come to the conclusion that the Westminster Parliament is completely out of touch with the people of Scotland whereas the Scottish Parliament does respond more readily to the values, the needs and the aspirations of the people of Scotland."
