Wonderful News !!!
I sincerely hope this miserable excuse for a man is utterly ruined, as the truth of his abysmal behaviour (which he tried desperately to conceal) becomes public knowledge !

One of the happiest days of my life
Best day in scotland for years , until a tory kicked him of his seat in gordon
1:53– 1:55 The dream shall never die he says!
$7.9 Billion a year in oil revenues becomes $60 million after the oil crash.
Budget deficit of 9.5%
The dream has died!!!
Good riddance Salmond. Well done to everybody who voted no, you saved Scotland. $30 for a barrel of oil. Scotland would be bankrupt under these buffoons.
Alex Salmond wanted to go down in history on September 18,2014-and he did-as a LOSER!
1:50 "But for Scotland, the campaign continues, and the dream shall never die."
Alex Salmond's channelling of Renรฉ Lรฉvesque (former Premier of Quebec), when he said after their first independence referendum in 1980: "ร la prochaine fois. (Till next time.)"
People of Scotland, prepare for a "neverendum"!
Time to move on for the smug egotist that destroyed the election. People did not trust Salmond, too few policies and too many blanks when asked questions.
Exactly who said it was ok for the police to carry firearms until after the election ?
(a decision made by the unicameral Scot puppet Gov. or Westminster ?)
Looks suspiciously like intimidation tactics. I suspect Salmond is a turncoat just like that idiot Brown, Blair and now Cameron.
The ย only thing that would please me more than Salmond resigning is when his fetid carotid arteries choke his heart to death.ย
I will hoist my Union Jack and Saltire up and celebrate the passing of the biggest liar in Scottish politics.ย
Bye bye bunter and take your smugness with you. Good riddance!
I am one of the thousands that had no interest in politics until you Mr Salmond fought and won the right for the people living in Scotland to have a vote and decide who would do the best job for the people, I would like to thank you for that and considering the abuse you personally received from both YES and NO campaigners which I found disgusting, you never faltered inย your cause, ย you were determined that no matter what it would be the people of SCOTLAND that cast their vote and make the decision for themselves.ย I only hope we can look forward in the hope that there are more politicians like you in a future Scotland, you are truly a HERO for me.ย I am glad to know that you will still be involved in future politics.ย Thank you for all you and your party did for the Scottish peopleย
Alex salmond a true Scot and legend
It seems that the people of Scotland have turned down a great potential opportunity to turn an english speaking country into an independent nordic style social democracy where there is more equality and fairness which it would have become a magnet to disadvantaged ppl in other english speaking nations in the EU if that were the caseย in particular the rest of the UK, Republic of Ireland, Cyrus and Malta.
It looks like I will have to emigrate to Norway or Sweden after all to get away from this english right wing tory society!!!!!!!!!!!! But it not easy to learn another language at my age and integate into their different culture.
What do the rest of you think on this message board?
Twque
I'm from Scotland, born and raised and i voted Yes. i have 2 English friends and after showing them some of the retarded comments below the 2 of them are ashamed of their own countrymen, its fucking idiots like you that cause such a divide in this country in the first place
