Alex Salmond RIP - 0762 - 12-10-2024
Very sad news tonight!! The ex-First Minister for Scotland passed away during a visit to Macedonia. Alex had his great moments as a past Scottish political icon/First Minister who played a big part in promoting the quest for Scotland to finally attain her own self-determination. His last comment today on X was so fitting and directed at the Brit Govt - "Scotland is a country, not a county"!!! Spot on Alex, and defiant to the end esp in the face of Britnat-Brexit attempts to undermine the political status of Scotland and the current Scottish Govt!! How sad that he never witnessed indy happening and a huge irony that he passed away not long after the death of Alistair Darling, who played a huge part in the unionist Bitter Together assault/debates of 2014 against Scotland (and received his token knighthood from his southern unionist paymasters for "doing the deed" against his own country!!!), thereby stymying the Yes quest for Scotindy. SAOR ALBA! RIP Ecky!!

He argued for Scottish Independence with a passion sadly lacking in the rest of his peers. He will be sadly missed in Scottish political life.
