Struggling Miliband accuses Yes camp of ‘ugly’ tactics

British Labour leader Ed Miliband accused the pro-independence campaign of "ugly" tactics after campaigners hurled abuse at him in chaotic scenes during a visit to Edinburgh yesterday.

Mr Miliband was branded an “absolute liar” by protesters when he toured the St James Shopping Centre in what was supposed to be a trip to persuade undecided voters in the final stages of the referendum battle.

Shoppers were trampled and pushed aside as campaigners from both the Yes and the No camps clashed during the walkabout.
