Fantastic Mr Salmond -- just proves you`re streets ahead of the Scottish Labour numpties who could never raise a single laugh!! Let`s have some more of your version of Rev I M Jolly -- a great tribute to the much missed Rikki Fulton!
Scots are probably the most inventive people in the world and made the UK the powerhouse that it has been. Thanks for the concern Wilsey(I think) but I'm quite sure we can handle it....
I am going to vote for him because he is funny. Who cares about the economy, the wars or the knife crime in the country. Why is it anytime you turn on the TV or read a paper, there is a politician trying to be a celebrity (chat shows, award ceremonies). Do your job and you will get voted in.
Well done Salmond I think it is good for a politician to have a sense of humour, especially when they can poke fun at themselves. There are few leading politicians who would do this, and definately not Brown and probably not Cameron either.Bravo
I put the expression 'dirty jobs' in inverted commas because I do NOT believe that they are dirty, they are the backbone of our society and we could not function without the citizens who fulfill such roles. I actually study EU law alongside Scots Law, so I prefer to make up my own mind on such issues rather than basing them on scare-mongering websites.
England would see no advantage. For one thing no more oil, no more compliant well educated sector of your economy, no more free resources, free training ground for Army and Air force, no more control of strategic gateway to N.Atlantic etc etc etc. And rump UK would face a challenge to its voting power at the EU, its seat on the Security council at the UN and many other slights against its Imperial delusions once an asset as central as Scotland becomes independent.
Quality - he pulled that off perfectly. I think McConnell might have been able to do a good job of this too, what with him being a comedian (judging by some of his policies). Can you imagine Iain (the) Gray (man) doing this? No, didn't think so.
We aren't the same. Scottish culture is completely different to English, as is the Gaelic language, our legal system, education etc. We both know that in terms of race, Scotland and England are very different, but similar in ways.
I believe that someone who doesn't want independence can be just as Scottish as me - ill-informed and feart but Scottish all the same. The view of most in the Scottish Parliament (the one that really matters up here) is that the war was one big waste of life and money. And show me where I've implied its 'England's War'. It was supported by the UK Parliament. You are right though - the majority don't want indy. But the majority also don't want to retain the union. The undecideds are the key.
@RichardElden , now why would I support any unionist party and one which is worse than the Conservative party. Conservatives in Scotland represent the Union of Scotland and England and encourage people with skills to use them. Labour tell us we have to vote for them to stop the Conservative party and that Conservative will cut welfare. "vote Tory and you will lose tax credits and benefits". Vote Tory to remain in the UK and get a job, Vote Labour to remain part of the UK and get benefits.
@1Eyeneeded I'm not surprised you feel this way, considering SCOTTISH- LIB/LAB/CONS, all work from Westminster, not one of these party's are legally right to call themselves Scottish (anything)!!!!
You don't know what you're talking about. Scottish oil is not a resource in decline. The Unionist media have down played various reports that reveal Scottish oil will last up to 100 years. This is why Westminster is so scared of a Scots referendum on independence. Beyond oil we are an asset to the UK. For one thing we are the only part of the UK that sends a surplus to the Treasury. The idea that England subsidises Scotland is a canard that not even the Tories dare to promulgate any more.
@EqualityScotland . Of course we are. Funny though that Englands elected Conservative government are actively encouraging N.I to become more independent but discourage Scotland, mmmm! Wonder why?
Scotland gets a block grant from London. Holyrood spends it as it sees fit. If we didn't do it this way then London would decide how to spend our money. So you wouldn't be 12 billion a year better off. The money would just be allotted differently. If no tuition fees, free dentistry, reduced class sizes, increased pension are rash policies then give me rash policies any day. Much better than spending billions on an illegal war - oh if you want to save some money there's where to start looking.
Theres always someone who lets their own politics get in the way of being positive about something like this that is for a bit of fun and to raise money for kids. bigandyd - grow up.
Dear soon to be Ex 1st Minister ,You didn't dig deep when you shot down in flames my proposal to establish an anti Knife crime boxing project in Camlachie /Glasgow East..You stated the funding needed was Commonwealth Games funding which wasn't available.Tell me Alex is there a commonwealth sport of "Getting stabbed' ? I wasn't proposing that our club members were aiming for the 'Games' It was more about changing attitudes through the medium of sport..you couldn't careless ..a total imposter
@RichardElden I also take notice on how you were unable to answer my question. You don't actually have an answer, so you'd fit right in with the Labour party in making stupid remarks instead of having anything worthwhile to say.
This is so funny! Oh for goodnasake guys below get a life, it is a JOKE for comic relief. If this was a real parliamentary speech I think we would all be worried. This was for Charity and he pulled off a very funny scetch, could you imagine Ian Gray or Annabel Goldie doing this??? Exactly, NO!
Wilsey Many Scots aren't economic nationalists. They simply want Scotland to take its rightful place in the world as a real country. Re it prospering, you only have to look at which are the most successful post-war countries in Europe - small ones. But the main point, I think, is - why do you care? You're not Scottish. It really has nothing to do with you.
Take the time please, if you will, to read up on the ACTUAL LAW of Scotland (there are plenty publiations explaining EU law) - after that, you will realise that any nation can leave the EU under the European Convention of Human Rights. The Scottish BNP is an absolutely joke, it's unbelievably tiny, small minded, and will never become larger than SNP, LIB DEM, LABOUR and CONS. Not to mention its socio-economic plans are absolutely laughable.
Oh God you are very wrong there. The Scottish have been multicultural for centuries. Picts, Celts, Gaels et al came TOGETHER to form what is now the Scottish culture. How can you claim that Scotland has never been multicultural when there are such languages as Scots, a half-way house between English and anglicised Gaelic. Get it together, honestly.
The war is relevant because you're complaining about all the benefits Scotland gets. England would get tangible benefits too if it weren't for this continual desire to impose democracy on countries that aren't ready for it. Re gambling our public spending on oil. We have no control over the oil - as I said, our current spending (ie your list) is taken from the block grant.
Alex Salmond is certainly willing to invest a lot more money in Gaelic than the BNP, that's for sure. I've taken a look over their figures a whil back, it's ludicrous. If you expect someone from the Highlands of Scotland to vote for the BNP, then you are somewhat misguided and out of touch. The only reason your party is growing (in the sense that a hamlet ould 'boom' 300% in a year, but still be nowhere near the size of a city) is because of difficult times. German Nazism, depression?
No, England is overpopulated, Scotland however is not. Scotland is about to suffer from a demographic crisis, we have to pay our way. I bet you gain absolutely no seats in Scotland, who will be on the brink of independence by that point. No, immigrants take the jobs of the workshy who simply will not work, the benefit-guzzlers.
So, on one hand you argue that Scotland is full of different races from different lands and celebrate the result, but on the other hand you reject foreign culture? Your ideals seem a bit distorted there.
Excellent! This is the man to lead Scotland out of the current depression....
Alex Salmond is the man! This just makes me respect him even more. Great to see our First Minister having fun and for a good cause too.
Fantastic Mr Salmond -- just proves you`re streets ahead of the Scottish Labour numpties who could never raise a single laugh!! Let`s have some more of your version of Rev I M Jolly -- a great tribute to the much missed Rikki Fulton!
Completey agree it doesn't matter what religion, race or gender you are. That is what Scotland will become one day, and I can't wait to see that.
I think Salmon does a great job! Both in office and as Jolly in this clip. It's for a good cause and it's pretty funny.
They've been telling us for years that there is little oil left. In the '70s and '80s we were told there was only a decade of it left. Funny that eh!
Scots are probably the most inventive people in the world and made the UK the powerhouse that it has been. Thanks for the concern Wilsey(I think) but I'm quite sure we can handle it....
He's not anti-British. Just pro-Scottish. What a refreshing change.
I am going to vote for him because he is funny. Who cares about the economy, the wars or the knife crime in the country.
Why is it anytime you turn on the TV or read a paper, there is a politician trying to be a celebrity (chat shows, award ceremonies).
Do your job and you will get voted in.
Brilliant!!! Always liked ALEX, but now I think he's pure genius! He's got guts.
his mood on his last day as the first minister
Well done Salmond
I think it is good for a politician to have a sense of humour, especially when they can poke fun at themselves. There are few leading politicians who would do this, and definately not Brown and probably not Cameron either.Bravo
Excellent, loved it.
there are children in need that Ian Duncan Smith put there
The best First Minister so far!
PFF,
Because it was the LAW. Under Scot's law, the rules for compassionate release are actually tougher than the English law.
Well done Alec! Good to see our first minister having a bit of fun on the tv. All for a good cause too.
Excellent!!
Ricky Fulton would be proud.
Good one Alex.
A First Minister with a sense of humor.
Brilliant alex, the greatest living scot.
I put the expression 'dirty jobs' in inverted commas because I do NOT believe that they are dirty, they are the backbone of our society and we could not function without the citizens who fulfill such roles.

Bet this was not shown in England but only in Scotland. Yet Scotland is forced to watch English tv
That was so funny!
@cammymcghee SNP free Scotland? Yes, the SNP WILL free Scotland, you're quite right. ;-)
Woop vote SNP! Alex Salmond rocks!
We aren't the same.
Scottish culture is completely different to English, as is the Gaelic language, our legal system, education etc.
We both know that in terms of race, Scotland and England are very different, but similar in ways.
Excellent stuff Alex. Bravo...
I believe that someone who doesn't want independence can be just as Scottish as me - ill-informed and feart but Scottish all the same.

You are right though - the majority don't want indy. But the majority also don't want to retain the union. The undecideds are the key.
Just let him go for it. People like Rascasseman are doing more for the independence cause than they can ever imagine. Oh the irony.
OK, he's still a politician, but you could almost ... almost ... trust him.
@RichardElden , now why would I support any unionist party and one which is worse than the Conservative party.
Conservatives in Scotland represent the Union of Scotland and England and encourage people with skills to use them.
Labour tell us we have to vote for them to stop the Conservative party and that Conservative will cut welfare. "vote Tory and you will lose tax credits and benefits".

Outstandingly funny
Some really sad people making weird comments, as Eck says dig deep.
@entyrion he's taken over from Wallace, & will get us through anything.....he doesn't run away!!!
You don't know what you're talking about. Scottish oil is not a resource in decline. The Unionist media have down played various reports that reveal Scottish oil will last up to 100 years. This is why Westminster is so scared of a Scots referendum on independence.

Excellent. A second career beckons.
I'll be voting SNp Alex! Blair and his lies finished Labour for me.
Now THAT was funny. Would you see the likes of Cameron doing that? Naw, I dinae think so!
im wi haddington on this 1
tha dudez a fcukn legend
snp till i die
maybe he doesnt need to use his wife as a means of promoting himself. Unlike Brown and Blair.
@EqualityScotland . Of course we are. Funny though that Englands elected Conservative government are actively encouraging N.I to become more independent but discourage Scotland, mmmm! Wonder why?
Wilsey, you really do have a major chip on your shoulder regards Scotland.
great stuff!!
you have a new career
Scotland gets a block grant from London. Holyrood spends it as it sees fit. If we didn't do it this way then London would decide how to spend our money. So you wouldn't be 12 billion a year better off. The money would just be allotted differently.
If no tuition fees, free dentistry, reduced class sizes, increased pension are rash policies then give me rash policies any day. Much better than spending billions on an illegal war - oh if you want to save some money there's where to start looking.
Weel Deen tae yea Aleck!!!!
Perhaps Big Eck should consider taking Holy Orders
BIG G
@rabblue
Support the union? Why? What good thing has the Westminster Government ever done for Scotland?
King of the north!
Theres always someone who lets their own politics get in the way of being positive about something like this that is for a bit of fun and to raise money for kids.
bigandyd - grow up.

Salmond for Prez! :D
Aye
it suits him
@RichardElden
I also take notice on how you were unable to answer my question. You don't actually have an answer, so you'd fit right in with the Labour party in making stupid remarks instead of having anything worthwhile to say.
Seats, not votes.
congrats..not a bad go,,,
@FrankClanton Yes mate. I believe in an episode he voted for the Tories in a Govan by-election in order to get a carpet?
@MrBear1873 , you still reading that DAiLY RECORD?
excellent lol SNP all the way!!!!!!!!!!
This is so funny! Oh for goodnasake guys below get a life, it is a JOKE for comic relief. If this was a real parliamentary speech I think we would all be worried. This was for Charity and he pulled off a very funny scetch, could you imagine Ian Gray or Annabel Goldie doing this??? Exactly, NO!
@chancergordy
All very glamorous, but all that aside, we're better off on our own.
Wilsey
Many Scots aren't economic nationalists. They simply want Scotland to take its rightful place in the world as a real country.
Re it prospering, you only have to look at which are the most successful post-war countries in Europe - small ones.
But the main point, I think, is - why do you care? You're not Scottish. It really has nothing to do with you.
@hafpipe
RichardElden doesn't know how to say anything other than anything apart from "ALEX SALMOND BAD"
Take the time please, if you will, to read up on the ACTUAL LAW of Scotland (there are plenty publiations explaining EU law) - after that, you will realise that any nation can leave the EU under the European Convention of Human Rights.
The Scottish BNP is an absolutely joke, it's unbelievably tiny, small minded, and will never become larger than SNP, LIB DEM, LABOUR and CONS.
Not to mention its socio-economic plans are absolutely laughable.
For crying out loud, it's CHILDREN IN NEED and Salmond can't resist political campaigning.
Disgraceful.
how the hell can u call yourself a human after that infantile evil comment?
Oh God you are very wrong there. The Scottish have been multicultural for centuries. Picts, Celts, Gaels et al came TOGETHER to form what is now the Scottish culture.

Re gambling our public spending on oil. We have no control over the oil - as I said, our current spending (ie your list) is taken from the block grant.
Yet another yawntastic post from ScotsBNP, based on hypothetical chaos, surrounded by theoretical panic. Snore, snore, snore.
oh i see the mass mirgation since 2007
Alex Salmond is certainly willing to invest a lot more money in Gaelic than the BNP, that's for sure. I've taken a look over their figures a whil back, it's ludicrous. If you expect someone from the Highlands of Scotland to vote for the BNP, then you are somewhat misguided and out of touch.

No, immigrants take the jobs of the workshy who simply will not work, the benefit-guzzlers.
@cameranzo1 HAHA.....it's still SNP!!!!!
And your proof is?
SNP free scotland
So, on one hand you argue that Scotland is full of different races from different lands and celebrate the result, but on the other hand you reject foreign culture? Your ideals seem a bit distorted there.
Can't stand the man but that was funny!
