Abuse of UK diplomatic resources questioned as Embassy supports darling campaign trip to US Commenting, SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said: This is an abuse of UK diplomatic resources by the No campaign. The UKs Embassy in the United States appears to be arranging meetings and interviews for Alistair Darling in his capacity as head of a political campaign, which steps way over the line. It is part of a series of previously reported activity in Spain, Russia and across the UKs diplomatic network on behalf of the No campaign. Alistair Darling complains about public money to promote awareness of the white paper so that people are informed about the referendum - yet he abuses taxpayer-funded UK diplomatic facilities to oppose an independent Scotland. The No campaign has laid itself wide open to the charge of hypocrisy. snp.org/media-centre/news/2014/apr/no-camp-abuse-uk-diplomatic-funds-questioned
