The Ordinary Elite : they whom the truth would indite #AlexSalmond #TheOrdinaryElite #Salmondslegacy

 



The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence lawyer and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. In our 8th episode of Season 3, we pay tribute to the legacy and memory of Scotland's former First Minister, Alex Salmond, who died suddenly at the weekend while speaking at a diplomatic conference in North Macedonia. Alex was fond of quoting from the poems and writings of Robert Burns. The words from Rabbie's "Here's a health to them that's awa" seem fitting: "There’s nane ever fear’d that the truth should be heard,
But they whom the truth would indite".

Alex Salmond - End of an Era via "Through A Scottish Prism" #Scotland #AlexSalmond #Tribute #Farewell

Alex Salmond was the Magician who whispered his wisdom and made a Nation follow its true path: independence. Farewell to the best politician of our time

 

I first met Alex Salmond in Edinburgh, shortly before he became First Minister of Scotland in 2007. I have followed all his political life since then. I learnt English listening to FMQs. I love the Scottish Parliament. 


Then 2014. We did our bit with the 
International Solidarity Campaing - Scotland Abroad supporting the Yes movement and reporting on what was happening in Scotland. What an experience. We cried when Alex Salmond announced his resignation but we were sure he would come back. And he did as an MP and afterwards with the Alex Salmond Show that I enjoyed and never missed any of his episodes.

Then the betrayal, the accusations, and the persecution.
I always knew Alex Salmond was innocent. 

In 2021 he founded the Alba Party and I was lucky enough to participate in the online press conferences and to report on this new path for independence. I had the honour of my life when I was able to interview him.
To me Alex Salmond was the best politician of our time.
He wrote himself into the history of Scotland and he will be sorely missed. But Scotland will remember him like one of its heroes, because he was the Man, the Messenger, the Speaker and the Magician who whispered his wisdom and made a Nation follow its true path: independence.
Always in our heart, dear Alex

Spies and Double Agents - Who are the Key Players via #Scotland #SNP #Politics #AngusRobertson #StopPalestineGenocide


MSP Angus Robertsons meeting with Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to the UK sparked internal criticism within the SNP, especially given the party’s stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza. Another MSP John Mason who also met with the same person had the party whip withdrawn after he downplayed the severity of the situation saying "If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they would have killed ten times as many" Should both have had whip withdrawn?
