According to BBC Scotland and STV the brother of one of the dead soldiers, who is currently serving with the Black Watch, has already spoken out against the war.
I live in an area which is the main recruiting area for the Black Watch, which is also a mainly Labour area (well, Dundee at least, Perthshire by-and-large is a mix of Tory and SNP)). It will be interesting to see the gains that will be made by the SSP and the Lib Dems come the general election, who were both anti-war. But that said, Scotland is quite partisan when it comes to politics and the, unfortunate, view that Labour may be shit but they're better than the Tories, especially with Howard in charge.
I sincerly hope that the SSP take at least one seat in Westminster, because IMHO it might give Labour enough of a fright that leadership change might seem like a prospect. |
