Or possibly the 'I'm important because I'm Alex Salmond so vote for ME (because I'm Alex Salmond) Party'

Will be interested to see who other candidates are. There are a plethora of indy parties and I am struggling to see resulting in anything more than 1 MP for Alba. Supplies of popcorn will be strained over the next few weeks.

Well, there's one thing; He's been kicked out of SNP twice....I think there's never going to be a third time.....

I suppose we should watch for any high profile SNP resignations in the next few days - the likes of Joanna Cherry come to mind.

It's a tough field, you have to remember Galloway.

Nice to see the Wee Ginger Dug back on form after his stroke and moving to God's own county of Ayrshire. I agree with his comment. https://weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2021/03/26/its-still-snp-1-2-for-me/

Feck me but it's lazy stuff. Salmond is a fuckwit but this misses the point by a distance.

He's one of the most objectionable, unpleasant people I have ever met. His fatuous attack on a Yes vote at the indyref in 2014 because of it putting Catholics in danger is one of the prime dangerous pieces of idiotic lying that I have seen. His baiting of Michael Barrymore on Celebrity Big Brother was the act of an self indulgent bully. And then there was his sycophancy from out of the arse of Saddam Hussein.

I remember seeing a clip of that! Yes it was awful. People did behave out of character in that context though. I do not remember anything about Saddam Hussein.

Well I definitely found the man fascinating but I probably wouldn't had I met him.

It was entirely in character. He tried similar with Christopher Hitchens.

Neale Hanvey MP gone over to Alba meaning it now has more MPs in Scotland than Labour. Also Lynn Anderson - the SNP Wqualities Convenor, and I believe Caroline McAllister, the SNP Women's Convenor to follow.

Not so charming then. We don't hear much of him these days, perhaps it's just as well.

He's up in Scotland for the election - as he has a mad Unionist list party. He broke quarantine conditions to come up. He was on this week supporting hunting and shooting against tge 'townie Greens'.
