Nicola Sturgeon “Drove Up A Cul-De-Sac” Over Independence Efforts, Says Alex Salmond

[@michaelrck]

Nothing but glee from the majority of Scotland Alex.

[@spms3018]

The damage she did to my city of Glasgow can not be undone

[@GreatWestern175]

Just out of interest, what damage has been done there?

[@beachcomber1able]

​@@GreatWestern175 It was a real mess in the decades before the SNP ever got near the levers of power.

[@yvonnesmith2115]

Glasgow has collapsed in the last 10 years. Burnt out buildings. Graffitti. Potholes. Beggars. No police to be seen. Enpty shops. Bins overflowing everywhere. As a glaswegian of 55 years i can see it is way worse.

[@artfuldodger9312]

I can't remember a day in my life when I've been happier than I am right now, seeing the SNP fall apart right in front of our own eyes. I had no idea that I would ever get the opportunity to see Sturgeon's grin being wiped off of his face. The only thing I want to happen now is for Sturgeon to be taken into custody; it would put the icing on the cake.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

The SNP ignored all of Scotland's problems and put all of their eggs in the Independence basket - then couldn't even deliver that. Now ironically the polls show Kate Forbes as being most popular candidate among the public to become the leader of the SNP despite the fact she's obviously a Tory in disguise 🤣 All those years of the SNP bashing the Tories and now there's a 33.3% chance they'll be lead by one before the end of this month 🙈🤣 🤣

[@jedburghpear9633]

I bloody hope so.

[@Reality6789]

Nah they voted in a racist instead. WTF !

[@mikesheldon1957]

Sturgeon an Murrell both bat for the other side and it was a marriage of convenience not because they fancied each other although the main and minor media channels have never mentioned this, once the dust settled they will both go their separate ways hoping nobody notices.

[@pampennyworth]

[@alanreid3063]

If only the SNP would concentrate on the people and the economy rather than independance they might be doing better

[@encouragesolutions2595]

If they could show they are running the country diligently and honestly, then this must build confidence in their ability to run an independence program. They've been in power too long and we may need another party to represent Scotland, and I've always said it needs to be a coalition of the best minds.

[@efinna4004]

​@@encouragesolutions2595 they were doing ok until the pandemic when Sturgeon (ALONG WITH JASON LEITCH, don't forget) went cuckoo with power madness and a possible promised job with WEF.

[@annieaitken6591]

Without Scotland keeping the money and it raises and its resources and having to accept half the finances raised via a return called the Barnett formula Scotland will never improve. Its like giving your next door neighbour your salary and being given half it back to pay your bills and run your house. Not a good position. We need full access to our finances and resources to use for the benefit of Scotland

[@Delta-fs8jm]

Which party is that then? Labour and Tories would never agree to Scottish independence.

[@phillpotts9047]

It shows their total contempt for the people that they think that they people cannot think for themselves and that it is somehow her fault that they did not make the decision that she wanted them to make.

Ash is the prettiest, nothing more to say there, Kate Forbes would undoubtedly make the best First Minister, as a small 'c' conservative so there would be no wacky ideas and should be trustworthy, however, unionists will be praying (NOT on a mat facing east) for Useless Yousaf as he will guarantee the future of the union and the end of the SNP. Fingers crossed.

So here is the real reason, SNP wanted to Take a big piece of the United Kingdom for their own Kabul, not about the Scottish people, its about lining their own pockets and about them selves with no one to answer to and continue and Rule , What is Bad, they were getting away with it for 3 Successive Election wins and No one noticed what they were actually up to. That's Sad for the Scottish people and for United Kingdom as a whole. Reform UK yes please sort out this Devaluation mess created by Blair/Another Liar and Get Real Brexit Done.

[@adrianrouse5148]

The Scottish national party should be working for the best Scotland they can make. Pinning everything on independence was stupid. And saying that all votes for the SNP are votes for independence is just plain wrong. No trust in labour or conservatives to do right for Scotland got the SNP many votes. But many just wanted a party to look after Scotland. Here the SNP failed.

[@strachansdroneservices4870]

Mike Graham is a decent interviewer as is Alex Salmond, I enjoy listening to these two. Independence has 100% been given a huge blow, no doubt at all. Sturgeon has made sure of that and was a master of undermining it all. Yet there is still a group of hangers on would argue this. Salmond is a very wise man and knows the score. Sturgeon is a ego maniac and tyrant now brought to the fore. Woke far left ideals will eventually come home to roost, just as far right does. The public will eventually turn, the majority will win through. However, Alex goes on about the hand of friendship to other indy groups. He never? He was pretty much against other indy groups. Not to the degree Sturgeon was however. Both votes SNP, what a waste of votes that could have involved other indy parties, but, IT WOULD WEAKEN HER GRASP and therefore her ego!

[@harrymarshall7999]

Oh what a lonely man chitty bang

[@alexd7029]

Alex Salmond is as bad as Sturgeon. His opinions are worthless. Sturgeon covered up her own mistakes by covering up Salmond’s,as did Murrell , in the Salmond inquiry in 2019. A botched up inquiry and a waste of time and the Scottish taxpayers money Scotland is well rid of all three

[@alextimpany9906]

No scotlands own Thatcher drove the working poor and pensioners into poverty with her 12 yrs of holding public sector pay below inflation for 13 yrrs and counting but she's OK with her half million pension what a pollution. Vote independents or reform uk we have suffered enough.

[@spearmint47]

" half million."...is that all.? Surely the God like being that was Nicola deserves far more than that for ruining a country.

[@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252]

It's entirely a load of poo.

[@TheBossUke]

The majority in Scotland voted against independence and will again if the occasion arose, the reason being is that the one purpose independence party has shown utter contempt for the Scottish public in the way they have conducted themselves both in the past and present. And lying to your own membership is not going to be well received is it. There is more to be uncovered I feel regards the SNP's record in government, and none of it good.

Snp did a better job for Scottish people than any other party for any other part of UK. As far as i and many others are concerned it was quite coincidental that both independence and brexit had such a near vote to be seen as a near fix. I dont hear normal Scottish people complaining about free bus passes free prescriptions free education water but snp haters will still take anything given out for free. You can be rest assured if tory or Labour get in you'll have plenty to moan about, although I'm not keen on yusaf I would take snp anytime. I think you would need to go some to beat the millionaire tory mps in the fraud race they are experts and don't even wear a mask!!!😷😡

I wouldn't listen to a word that Alex salmon says he was the worst leader the snp ever had I never voted for the snp when he was first minister and if he ever came back I would not vote for snp again although I wish the leader hadn't been humza yousef I wanted either Kate forbes or the Ash regan but anyone who runs down nicola sturgeon or the snp must be a tory voter and also the tories are an even worse mess and look at the the carry on when they were fighting for a new leader and look at the ones they have had in the last thirteen years there has not been a decent prime minister from David Cameron right down and certainly rishi sunak shouldn't be in the job at all he wasn't voted in by the people so he doesn't have a mandate but for Alex salmon I wouldn't vote for him at all the quicker we get independence the better so we could get rid of the Westminster government and the tories
