Alex Salmond, See The Duper's Delight

Does anyone else see duper's delight on his face? He's an actor. It's been a scam all along.

a reply to: Kester

I watched the press conference and heard the emotion in his voice he was obviously not far from tears , sometimes I wonder if you guys even think about what you're posting ....ridicules.

Check out the smiling.

a reply to: Kester

He's probably glad its all over and he can sense the crapola that the SNP is about to fall into so is jumping ship and can sit by on the sidelines as it all goes as they say up there "tits oop" with the political infighting

No just no.

It really does piss me off at times the way everything is always a conspiracy anyone who knows anything about the man would know that he was no actor.

Really this is a utterly pointless thread.

sigh...

He'll have a lot of explaining to do. Helps if you don't care for those you're explaining to.

He's happy. It all worked out fine for his superiors. He'll get the rewards.

Pointless yet worth commenting on.

a reply to: Kester

Try 1:11. Have we found the lone, celebrating, NO voter? He looks far too happy to be a genuine Scottish Independence supporter.

Feel free to post videos of others in the YES camp showing a similar disposition.

only to tell you just how pointless the whole thing really was.

Seriously you have zero proof for your accusations

This whole thread is pointless.

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin

Video evidence of smirking inappropriately.

That is not evidence of anything other than your own Pareidolia.

You have interpreted his facial expressions subjectively it is just your impression that you think he might have been hiding something. Yet you have jumped from this to claiming that it must be proof that he was a actor.

Really not very good at this denying ignorance thing are you?

People can only dream of Having a Politician like Alex Salmond at the helm...Gutted he's bowing out.

Priceless asset and a breath of fresh air in the political circus.

At least he had the bollocks to take the decision of bowing out in his own hands.

Nicola will be a worthy successor, but Scottish politics will be a lot less colourful and energetic without him.

It's Scotland's Loss.

a reply to: Kester

Before this thread I did not know who Salmond was. I watched the video you present with the sound off, as you asked for what we saw, not for what we heard. So I did not know where he was from, what country or whatever. What I saw was a gracious smile, not a smirk.

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

So why not hold the gracious smile throughout? He did a good job of holding the sad look when he remembered.

As A Scot

This is a man who hasnt privitised anything in Scotland, who has tried to give people free,prescriptions,education and old people free bus passes,his government brought in free School meals and has not increased communtiy tax for the last 7 years.....He has resigned because the Scottish people would rather give their support to various colours of Torys be they blue,red,or yellow along with their policys of privitisation ,austerity corruption and the rest....No knighthood for Alex Salmond.... a man who stood by his principles and would not be bought for a seat in the house of lords, like some will be rewarded with......"Stand Proud Alex Salmond "..........."when will we see your likes again".........................i for one salute you.

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin

Is there another way of judging facial expressions?

As we see here, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... here, jeps.efpsa.org... and here, 180rule.com... some people take this subject seriously.

If he's pleased at the NO vote, and he acted as a leader of the people desiring a YES vote, how could he be anything other than an actor?

a reply to: clanger

He gave all that and still there was clamour for so much more? That doesn't quite add up to me.

Is this the reason he gave for resignation? I've watched more than listened, I don't understand exactly why he'd run now instead of carrying on the good work.

a reply to: Soloprotocol

His willingness to leave now concerns me. The Independence movement needs committed members who'll stay the course whatever happens. This seems too much like the action of a career politician, or a hired gun.

Agreed. He started from nowhere and got a 46% for vote for independence, with 90% with those under 30. The difference is +/-5% and since 4 million voted, it would have only taken an extra 200,000 to win. But he made the mistake of wanting more immigrants to move into the country, which just displaced those most likely to vote SNP, so in effect, the SNP diluted their own vote. The establishment set up the rule that those Scots outside of the country, couldn't vote. So that's another 400,000 votes lost.

Scotland has just become a province in the same way that Tibet has become a province of China.

a reply to: Kester

It may be a good tactic, he could take a break for a few years and while the SNP has a major blame game falling out etc then once everyones over the spatt then he can return with his reputation reasonably unblemished to bring everything together
