Colkitto Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Alex Salmond will present a weekly show on RT. It's already sent the yoons into meltdown - ironically as they say it's just a propaganda TV station! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ooft. The seethe will be extreme. Imagine his Scotsman takeover bid happens as well... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Is the one man show and radio program not paying enough?If his life is just about creating seethe then its a sad way for a guy like him to end up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Aye sound a bit “know your place” form Ronaldo. There would be no “movement” if it wasn’t for Salmond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Doing a sell-out stint at the fringe and hosting your own radio and television chat shows is the direct Scottish equivalent of a peerage. Elder statesman stuff from Lord Eck of WUM. Can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wee Eck desperately scrambling for some relevance after being emptied by the Tories. Pleasing. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 47 minutes ago, ThatBoyRonaldo said: It is idiotic though. He could have been a heavyweight figure in Scottish politics, a real elder statesman. Do an Obama/Cameron/Osborne and go away and quietly make speeches etc or write a book if you want to make some money, rather than trash your reputation with attention-seeking bullshit like this or his LBC show. The SNP do not encourage our parliamentarians to appear on RT and only the total morons like Monaghan in Caithness etc have tended to do so over the past few years. Depressing that Salmond can't adhere to any kind of self-discipline now that he's out of parliament and is willing to undermine the party/movement like this. Even more depressing is the amount of members etc who'll support him. Nailed it here, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The response of secessionists to this news almost perfectly splits them into the sane and the sectionable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Smart move by Eck to enlist the help of Putin and his election winning machine. I now fully expect Yes to stroll the next referendum by a 67 % - 55 % margin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Have to respect Salmond's ongoing commitment to banter. Also stoked for that sweet rouble from the kremlin to start rolling in for indyref2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
