THE Scottish Executive's decision to push ahead with a new Forth crossing was welcomed by business leaders last night.
The apparent U-turn followed a massive campaign by The Scotsman and the business community demanding a new crossing. But as the Executive last night insisted the decision had been based on new evidence supporting the case for a new crossing, business leaders questioned what was known now that was not evident in previous reports.
The Executive announced late on Friday night that Jack McConnell, the First Minister, and his senior ministers had been persuaded of the need for the project after receiving "emerging findings" from work by Transport Scotland.
Strange. Nothing on the Executive's website. Nothing in Saturday's Scotsman. Is it making things up or simply deluded?
After all, what politician would announce an important political decision late on a Friday night? But who knows...
