Yeah, I see what you mean, I'm not a fan of Salmond the man but he's a good politician and despite all the allegations of vanity, seems to care about something outside himself and his career.
The nice thing is we can vote Salmond out at any time regardless-he's got a majority vote after all based on plenty of policies that have nothing to do with independence-whereas presently we're stuck with drones like darling and rightwing loons like BoJo whether we like it or not.
I was in Aberdeen and Peterhead last week and was frankly shocked how poverty stricken both places were contrary to their status as the primary oil and gas hubs of the UK. It's a disgrace that so much wealth has benefited so few, and Darling crowing tonight about how Scotland 'only gets the tax on the oil' is a travesty in itself when forward thinking would have led to the establishment of a national oil and gas exploratory company doing everything from surveying to extraction and processing.
