Alex Salmond R.I.P.

Oct 12, 2024 | weegingerdug.wordpress.com | Paul Kavanagh

In news which has shocked all of Scotland, Alex Salmond has suddenly passed away while on a trip to North Macedonia. Whether you support Scottish independence or not, he was without doubt a giant of Scottish politics who transformed the Scottish political landscape for good, a truly monumental individual, and as such he leaves a legacy which will live on for many decades.

Do you remember how during the SNP leadership contest in 2022 that Kate Forbes uttered some fairly measured criticisms of the record of her rival Humza Yousaf and the Scottish media dined out on how nasty and bitter the leadership race had become? It’s the Scottish Tories’ turn for a leadership contest and they’re doing the Scottish political version of Crocodile Dundee saying: “Call that a knife?
