The Brit nats must be gnashing their frustrated teeth at the annoying man.
What they haven't cottoned onto is that it's no longer the Scottish National Party moving forwards but it's now a Scottish national movement going forwards. Along the way, we'll lose some and gain others but there is something in the air.
There is an article by Kevin McKenna in The Guardian that has me in utter shock. Speechless. Sorry I don't have the link handy but I suggest looking for it.
It's a change to see and hear politicians discussing policies that will help people as a priority for making political choices and decisions.
I see this in the same view as Salmond saying he wants to 're-industrialise' Scotland.
I don't remember the last time policies were voiced from Westminster p.l.c. that were aimed at making people's lives better.
All the Brit nat politicians have bought into the concept of reactive head-line grabbing policies.
What Salmond and the SNP aim at seems such a reasonable goal - using government to make society better. The SNP members all share the same view. People first.
Billy Bragg supports Salmond and an English national party along the lines of the SNP to take that voice away from the BNP.
Getting rid of this empire dreaming nonsense in England is the first step to making England a land meant for people.
Peter, folk, who I would never in a month of Sundays suspect, are supporting the SNP and AS in particular and there is a pervasive feeling for many die-hard unionists that the horse has truly bolted.
A remarkable situation which has been entirely wrought by the unacceptable behaviour of a soon to be, erstwhile, uncaring union partner.
Let the fresh air of challenge and opportunity blow .
The battle axe of Salmond has smashed through the helm and skull of the Henry de Bohun's of the Union - morale is now high on the Scots side despite their smaller numbers, and low among the massed, demoralised ranks of the unionists.
When will we form the schiltrom? I can make an informed guess ...

Thank you! An absolutely stunning speech.
