But I think he hates the English as was seen by some of his speeches leading upto yesterday. He @ times concentrated more on slamming the English than explaining how an independent Scotland could finance itself & work. Bad mistake by him methinks.
I'll raise a glass of of Cognac to the 55% of people up there who saw through his bull. I for one am pleased they're still part of the Union.
There are haters on here though. :D

I wouldn't take speech rhetoric as being entirely truthful re Salmond and England. He has had to play a game for a long time. Its an extraordinary journey for the SNP from being very much a fringe party to being the majority party in Scotland and got close to getting 1.6 million people to vote for independence in a referendum. He has changed UK politics regardless of what people think of him...

And the way that Westminster is behaving post-referendum could bring independence back on the table more quickly than anyone would want. This is merely the end of the beginning I fear.
Not disagreeing with that LT, just glad that he isn't now leading Scotland as part of a UK as it stands. Also standby what I said, his major mistake was playing up to the more "active" elements if you like, but 55% saw through it & I'm delighted they did. Perhaps if he'd concentrated on real issues about finance etc he may have appealed more to those people as well. I'll listen to anyone but as I get older I tend to be able to spot bull(being a Pompey fan helps as well :D ) a mile off.

No it isn't. This isn't an end of anything and survivors like Salmond will thrive in bringing Devo Max to Scotland.

Hmmmm, not sure about that tbh. To me it looks like he staked everything on the yes vote. Is he the man to take scotland forward as part of UK. I think not.
Well I'm very much in "smug mode". :D
Sorry Gunner, didn't mean to miss you out, so thats a right pair of Krytens then :lol:
