AUFC90 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I will go out on a limb here.The guy is finished.Not to say his profile won't still be high but as a serious politician.Nah. Mate, if you dont think that Salmond could get back into Holyrood if he really wanted to then you are even more deluded than you come across. I doubt he will though, hes achieved everything there is to achieve in Scottish politics. Trolling yoons is his specialty now and they bite every time.....its delicious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I haven't seen it but he apparently had some Tory MP on the show, condemning Russia's record on LGBT rights. BUT HE'S JUST A PUPPET FOR PUTIN AND HE'S FAT!!!!!1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's achieved everything there is to achieve in Scottish Politics".Maybe I'm being picky but i think perhaps there was a glaring lack of achievement on one of his policy goals.Maybe just me though.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch RT and Fox News occasionally, and they both do some decent documentaries and shows. But comparing their attempts to be truthful with the BBC on news is laughable. Of course the BBC have an institutional bias towards the centre ground of politics, and are London centric as was proven in their coverage of the indyref, I think more from ignorance than malice. They thought the SNP were a minor fringe loony force like UKIP or their more extreme comrades, until the polls freaked them out in the last weeks. They don't make blatant lies on the News though, as RT regularly does. "No Russian troops in Crimea/Ukraine". "The missile that shot down the Malaysian airliner was fired from a Ukrainian plane in a failed attempt to shoot down Putin's plane, which was nearby." etc...

williemillersmoustache Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 That was on reporter talking about his own interaction, wasn't it? Not a news organisation propagating a lie on every news programme. Didn't apologise, didn't retract, still employed. And since when would you describe the political editor of the BBC doing a report on an election press conference as "his own interaction?" Come off it. ETA you're also forgetting the subject matter of the treasury with the help of the BBC breaking purdah. But that of course was the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 On par with claiming there were no Russian troops in Crimea despite camera footage on every other channel, until Putin fessed up a year later? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 It didn't take long after the first broadcast for the nonsense to begin. The Torygraph is accusing Salmond of fake news already and claiming the viewer questions on his show actually came from a Russian troll farm. It also described Nicola Sturgeon's brief comments about the show as opening up an "unprecedented rift". #fakenews indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Sannox Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Salmond is mad, a poor man’s Bond Villain. Anyone who has that high an opinion of themselves obviously has serious mental health issues. Scotland is well shot of him along with that other priggish, smug Nat Angus Robertson. People who take themselves that seriously deserve everything that comes their way, hence the glee when these smug p***ks lost their seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 The BBC is biased, there is absolutely no dubiety about that at all. But up and above that I genuinely believe there is a deficit of talent at the BBC and it makes them look bad to the point where people see bias instead of someone who is just bad at their job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will though, hes achieved everything there is to achieve in Scottish politics. Trolling yoons is his specialty now and they bite every time.....its delicious. hes achieved everything there is to achieve in Scottish politics. Trolling yoons is his specialty now Do those achievements include losing the all important Independence referendum? Trolling yoons is all he’s left with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
