Published Date: 03 December 2008
SCOTTISH Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott took the campaign against the HBOS takeover to the doorstep of the bank's headquarters on The Mound when he stood outside and handed out leaflets to passers-by.
He claims the takeover by Lloyds TSB would not be in the best interests of customers or shareholders and could lead to a skills exodus from the Capital.

Mr Scott said: "People in Edinburgh are understandably concerned about this takeover. Expert opinion is clear. Thousands of jobs across Scotland will go and competition will be harmed. That means higher charges for account holders and small businesses."

I suppose better late than never Tavish. You should have been doing this 2 months ago.

Wonder if your attitude to the Calman Report in 2009 will be so delayed too while you make up your mind to either sit on the fence or make a stand.

I do not think Tavish has been to bad. Yes the calamity of the calman commission will test him and see if he has any backbone.

Atleast Tavish has not been selling scotland out like labour.

#1 Thing is he has been doing it for two months, it just appears you haven't been paying much attention, and unfortunately neither has Gordon.

Why wasn`t he outside the bank of Scotland when the Halifax took over?
