you think? - personally I think you're in a minority thinking that - he made Westminster sh*t themselves - he brought Scotland closer to independence than ANY jacobite rebellion and without a shot being fired.

I have said from the start that I like Salmond - I only wish he was English and south of the border, in any event I have seen him he has represented Scotland with dignity and he was putting the Scottish people first.

Now if his successor is Nicola Sturgeon - a woman who knows her own mind, with forthright views and who can rip opponents apart, then I'm sure Scotland will be in safe hands.

He was hated in Westminster by all the leaders, politicians like him are a dying breed.

You think England wouldnt have had revenge in the event of a YES vote? it would have made the post-Culloden clear out look like a kids tea party, Wallace was the last Scot to worry England and his guts got spilled - literally - on a table in London...


I chuckled when i heard Salmond say "We accept we have lost this vote and accept the decision THIS TIME...."

yeah baldy. like its gonna happen again!

Nicola Sturgeon was my tip after the 2/3rd time I saw her speak. I believe that she in time will be up there with the "Greats" of life. If and when she gets the vote.......hang on to your hat, as this is not going away anytime soon, she will succeed where Salmond failed i.e "Trust".

It's progressing then, maybe next time they'll get their wish or at least the 'Yes' campaigners will. Either way I don't think it's the last time they'll try

If the UK government isn't forthcoming with new powers, it'll be next year

Perhaps they should go to the polls for freedom every time we have a general election, save on time. Vote for everything that needs voting on all at once :D
