I don't like Salmond or what he stands for, but I do think he has been the cleverest politician the UK has seen for many years. He has run rings around Brown, Cameron, Miliband and Clegg, and it looks like they'll give the Scots a lot more money and power as a result.

When this first started, I stated on the  RT that Salmond was a very very Dangerous Political opponent, easily capable of taking on most British Politicians and their leaders, he is a master of not answering what is asked and turning questions round on the questioner

NOT once did he ever state what his currency plan was, if Currency Union didn't happen, even though he kept telling Interviewers and opponents that "You just need to look, to see our 3 stated options"

He did the same on every contentious issue bluff, bluster & baloney

Any Interviewer who dared to disagree with Him or demand real answers, usually got His angry mode, where he showed his vicious & intimidatory side. When it then became YOUR fault for being aggressive and confrontational.

Within minutes His media attack dogs would be released all over social media to get others to bombard, the Bosses of Reporters / Commentator's / Presenters with outraged emails and phone calls, complaining about how BIAS & anti-Scottish that Reporter / commentator's / Presenter and their organisation were. The  BBC in London were a major target being part of the British establishment/ English and being based in London, was proof of guilt for many of their supporters anyway.

This Man  may have just pushed enough Labour voters back into the NO camp, to make the vote quite desisive and negate any Nationalist dispute over the mandate, it could have been different without Gordon Browns last gasp speech (easily one of the best speeches  in British politics for many many Years), He really was like the passionate Gordon Brown of Old, that vanished under & after BLiar.

You should listen and watch this, youtube video of his speech.

A true 'Son of the Manse'
