I love how salmond destroys every question she asks, as for independence , scotland has shown we can cope ourselves, we balance our books every financial year while england go further in debt, if we had full control over our budget we would become a richer and more powerful country than england, theres a reason england want us to stay! Salmond= modern day william wallace! Snp!
in another interview alex stated that he was given a memo from Westminster and was told to release him so Westminster placing blame on scotland. when tony blair was shown shaking hand with dictators.plus U.S.A circuit boards were found on the ground in the debris and Panam flights were always used to carry U.S.A military arms. this was covered up. INDEPENDENCE give us our oil back and break away from European union go alex and the SNP
@RichardElden Wanting independence = racist in your eyes, that’s a moronic attitude, surely then by your argument of a parliament for England then you should be supporting Alex Salmond and Scottish independence to rid England of us begging Scots. Ah! but of course the truth is we are net contributors to the UK treasury so we pay for you in reality, go look up the GERS report and weep little old England is kept afloat by the Scots so you should show some respect for who pays the bills! lol
@RichardElden You have a serious chip on your shoulder you troll every video posted that has anything about Scotland or Scottish independence and start spouting bile and sick comments, if you can’t control your jealousy of our great country then at leased debate civilly on why you hate Scottish people so much. I am Scottish ( you mite have guessed) and love my country I like England, Wales and Ireland to but what’s so bad about wanting to govern our own affairs?
@jed371 I don't think he's offended. I think he's taken aback at the crass stupidity, ignorance, hypocracy, arrogance and naivety directed at him at the largely London-centric and, dare I say it, English media.
To be fair, the Scottish media are little better, although they tend to have a better grasp of these issues and slightly (very, very slightly) more intelligence than their London-based counterparts.
What a man, if only there were more men like him in UK politics. It will be a shame if Scotland leaves because in my opinion that the UK would be a hell of lot stronger if every home nation was allowed to function as its own country as opposed to being hindered at every turn by the idiots in westminster. The arrogance of parliment annoys every Englishman, Let alone the Scottish,Welsh and Northen Irish, who only get mentioned when it benefits England (under the moniker of Britain of course).
You have to hand it to Alex Salmond. He is head and shoulder above any politician on the Scottish political map. He is articulate, accurate and extremely clear in alowing no BS. Any country in world with a leader of this calibre would be insane to prefer to be run by the pathetic bunch of incompetents that play politics in Westminster. To me the Scottish case for independence is self -evident. With Salmond at the helm - incredulous that there are still some cretins who prefer the status quo.
You couldn't even keep your own coal industry, let alone anyone else's minerals. England for the English in it mate - no one else would want the place anyway. Once Scotlands gone you won't even have any one left in the ''empire'' to steal off !
@TheEscoces we didnt need it,we had your oil haha. get fucked tree hugger.u would be cannibals within 5 years.your nothing without us.i bet u would keep our language tho.end of the day more english want u mongs to have independence than ur own people.i really do hope u get it.
What a b*tch! The man is dying, and 'maybe we could think about extraditing him', despite the fact that he's served his sentence, and the UK government have no jurisdiction as the first minister says. CNN = FOX News.
I do not agree with Scottish independence and would very much like to remain part of the union. But credit where it's due to Alex Salmond, a very articulate and well spoken interview.
scotland should be proud to have a first minister like him.
i think if this is the calibre of real, liberal politicians scotland may have ahead of them, i just wish i had scottish citizenship if scotland does regain independence.
i'd love to hide a skittle or mibee a choc button (if it didnt melt) under his wee foreskin. i would have to be soooo sneaky to get away with this though.
i love alex and its because scotlands parliament has not lied or had any underhanded dealings that they can be truthful they do it by the book so there is no repercussions. i hate the way these news presenters think they are journalists and know it all when they really dont have the first clue. infact i would think most english people have no slue about scotland and under estimate our country. i say break out the drill and lets chip away and the borders i hope we get our independence.
I'm glad we have an honest, open and free thinking Scottish First Minister. This man can lead Scotland into a better future.
If he says we need greater Independence then there is no man on this earth who knows what Scotland needs better than him, to disagree with that simple fact is just wrong, I can see that now.
