Nah not having that, you can think differently of him having lived under him to an extent but I can't stand him and am glad to see the back of him. You're giving him too much credit for mobilising the Yes campaign, it was moreso down to national pride than anything Salmond said or did, even Ooter said a while ago it shouldn't be about Salmond or the SNP but the future for Scotland long after him, but Salmond or at least those around him seemed intent on making it about him.

Also bollocks, he WAS the yes campaign. He forced the referendum into an action rather than a pipe dream. You've answered yourself there, the referendum was about more than him or the party and that's exactly what the reaction should have been. Playing on national pride and the discontent of Scottish voters mobilised the yes campaign no question, but do you really think a faceless politician in the form of sturgeon or even Angus Robertson would have brought on the same reaction? I doubt it. You may be glad to see the back of him on a personal level but good riddance it most certainly is not.

If he WAS the Yes campaign then is it any wonder people voted No? Shouldn't have been about him, should have been about the future, shouldn't have been Salmond vs Cameron (and I don't think it was imo), you've just said he WAS the yes campaign and in the very next line said it was abuot more than him or the party?

I stand by my comment, the positives you speak of I have no experience of and no reason to change my opinion of him because of.

Just had a gander about Georges Square on Twitter, sounds ridiculous.

So now the UK can get on with more important things like giving back Northern Ireland right?

[shaunie]

Chants of no surrender in George Square as well. Oh, the irony

They stayed out of the newly reformed Irish republic when Winston Churchill gave over the whole island in 1920. They wont get themselves into a financial mess to please a few nutters.

And that is why Ireland will never be united.

[EdinBruges]

[Stu]

[shaunie]

I expected better of you than to twist my words, so let me rephrase seeing as you can't quite grasp it.

Without salmond we would not have been here today - as you were able to pick up later in the post. He was the catalyst for the entire movement, which started as an snp policy and ended as nearly half the nation voting yes. Of course he's going to be involved.

Can I stop praising him now?

[delexo]

Alex Salmond will never amount to David Cameron, we can all agree on that. A fine leader.

[shaunie]

Wat

[delexo]

His mum's cheating on his old man if she's in a Spoons.

It's hard sharing a country with these brainless , bigoted unionists in George square just now. Let alone a stadium most weekends. Funnily enough a lot of the cunts are the type of people the socialist movement is fighting for.
