John Lambies Doos Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That's why I changed it - there were others who claimed that - and I apologise for implying you did or any insult given. But your edited post still implies that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 People need to start looking at the sources they're using FFS. I agree that Media Lens isn't impartial but Michael White is a moron that looks like the personification of the Scramble for Africa. So you disagree with the sentiment of the actual comment?It could have come from Putin himself and I would have agreed with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I have no problem with folk criticising RT, I imagine they are absolutely as bad as folk say they are. But hearing folk have a go at Eck especially when it come from the likes of Andrew Neil & Nick Robinson is just preposterous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there is a strong whiff of hypocrisy from Robinson and Neil (and the unionists in general).However, there should not be unquestioning loyalty to everything that Salmond says and does - he can be wrong and this time I genuinely believe he is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Looking forward to the seething unionist roasters claiming Salmond and the SNP are entirely to blame when in the future, Putin annexes North Kyrgyzstan or some such backwater. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that they will use whatever he says on his show to beat the SNP with. What he does not want is his words being propaganda not only for Russia Today but also for his opponents. If he does proceed I hope he has full control over the production and recognises that his every word will be scrutinised. I wouldn't like to see him turn into another Jim Sillars to be used as a stick to beat the independence movement with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what disturbs me is that he seems to have gone ahead with this without seeking any sort of approval from the SNP.There is the nagging doubt that this is all about Salmond and his ego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) On the plus side he gains an international platform where there is no need to be politically balanced. If he avoids discussing Russian related stuff they may give him a free hand. More influential than a slot on LBC. P.S. I'll be waiting to see the show before making a judgement, as he advises. If he doesn't start it with an attempt at a Cossack dance I'll be serious disappointed. Edited November 10, 2017 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he employed by the SNP, or is he merely an ex MP and a member of the party ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Sillars keeps himself relevant by bashing the SNP whenever he can. Salmond doing this isn’t the same. As an SNP member, I could not give a single f**k. Don’t think it’s a good thing, don’t think it’s a bad thing, don’t have any opinion on it whatsoever. He wants to do this then fine up to him, has absolutely no relevance to what’s going on with the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sillars at least says that he will vote SNP regardless of how he feels about the party. Not something that can be said of Tony Blair for example who was effectively telling people to consider a vote for the Lib Dems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
