TORIES' "CAMERON CUTS" WOULD BUTCHER SCOTS SERVICES

ONLY SNP LOCAL AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONS OFFER ALTERNATIVE TO LONDON CUTBACKS

Responding to Tory shadow Chancellor George Osborne's visit to East
Renfrewshire on the campaign trail today (Fri), SNP leader and First
Minister Alex Salmond said:

"George Osborne and David Cameron have made it clear they are intent on
butchering Scotland's public services if they are given the chance.

"They have Scotland firmly in their sights, and their so-called
'needs-assessment'-based funding formula is nothing more than a special
Cameron Cut just for Scots - over and above the savage cutbacks they plan
across the UK as a whole.

"Only the SNP is offering an alternative to the cosy cuts consensus of all
the London parties, and a strong bloc of SNP MPs acting as local and
national champions will help protect Scotland from that cuts agenda."
