In fact, it is being extended to include injured veterans.<BR/><BR/>Labour had been spreading scare scories about a "secret review", saying that the SNP were going to "shove the grannies off the bus". They claimed that yesterday's announcement was a political victory for Labour.<BR/><BR/>What they 'forgot' to mention was that the review had been set in motion by the previous Labour/Liberal administration!<BR/><BR/>The SNP government followed due process, completed the review, and came to the right decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-9648851950250234162008-07-01T08:54:00.000+00:002008-07-01T08:54:00.000+00:00From The Sun - (topless lovely image removed to sa...From The Sun - (topless lovely image removed to save Wee Free blushes)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Caileag rùisgte na Sun taiceil ris a’ Ghàidhlig Sun supports Gaelic <BR/> <BR/>Topless Page 3 girls in the Scottish Sun are supporting the Gaelic language this week.
