I think he did amazingly well to be honest. He got an SNP majority at Holyrood, he got a referendum, and lets be fair, gave everyone a bloody great scare in coming so close to ending the UK as we know it. He's also secured some big concessions for Scotland from Westminster.

I think he'll be remembered as a good statesmen and a strong campaigner. I didn't agree with much that he said, but he was a convincing orator and I'm sure he most likely has a lucrative future ahead of him away from politics.

Fought a good fight, and has engaged an unprecedented number of the electorate in the issues. Well done Alex, and best of luck.

Could not agree more.

I didn't want the Scots to leave, for my own selfish reasons, but he has achieved massive changes in Scotland, and people there have a lot to thank him for.

If I was Scottish, in Scotland, I don't know how I'd have voted, but I suspect it would have been 'Yes'.

He's also a 'republican' (not all SNP are), so he cannot accept that, shirley?

I'm sure it's unheard of for Republicans to accept a Knighthood...

Having said that, I will eat my own stools if he accepts one.

Perhaps he'll join fellow Scottish charlatan, Tony Blair, minting it on the US lecture circuit.

Blair may have been born in Scotland, and he spent a small part of his childhood there, but I am afraid that his upbringing was too English, he's not that easily disowned...

Available for Fulham job, then. Surely better than Magath?

A fool. But you're an honest one.

Yes yes yes. But he's still a loser. Joins the same political class as Hitler ultimately. Sold the entire country a false story but eventually people saw sense. I believe there are still people in Germany harking on about the 3rd reich golden years. Misguided fools, can take generations to eradicate such nonsense. Alex salmon has a lot to answer for. And Mel Gibson, the racist... :rock:

I didn't agree with much he said either but he was a conviction politician. No surprise at the resignation, I do believe Scottish Independence has hit the ceiling.

Well, yes, I'm honest, I'll give you that.

I'm not sure that you have argued conclusively in support of your contention that I am a fool, though.

This will conclude matters: who is more the fool? The fool? Or the fool who follows? :cheery:

Sorry, I'm fishing. No offence. Beyond Alex Salmon is a bit irritating. And a loser. I stand by that. Says so in the poll.

Brilliant.

Could it be the fool who follows the fowl?

Who do I follow? Who do you? Who cares?

Arrogant, and foolish.
