Alex Salmond was a great Scot! There will never be another Alex Salmond! I have high regards for him since 2008. I voted for him in the two elections!🏴💐🕊💒
Despite never being a scottish nationalist myself, Alex Salmond's achievements cannot be understated. When I was born there was no Scottish parliament at all, any interests particular to Scotland were almost considered inconsequential to English MPs who dominated Westminster and who seemed to see Scotland just as some remote county like Cornwall, with no important interests of its own. Salmond was a big part of the process that showed to the rest of the UK and to the whole world that Scotland is not a county, but a country which deserves to be known, which has its own interests, and can stand on its own two legs. I think this will be his legacy and I think it will never be forgotten
Alex has been doing a great job with the political team and I think the other MPs have been given a great job to hear that they were a great idea for the the best way for the rest of the team Richard McGeechan ❤
Could talk the hind legs off a donkey. He was a great orator with plenty of passion. He was the only politician i know who could answer any question reporters threw at him. He didnt even have to think about the answer. Only politician worth listening to
Gratitude to the TWO men who spoke so very genuinely and eloquently about their experience and friendship with dear Alex Salmond, the two gentlemen named Jeremy Corbyn, and David Davis👌👍
He weakened Scotland by helping to remove Scottish influence at UK government level. Both Labour and the Tories used to have powerful Scottish figures in their cabinets and shadow cabinets, but the rise of the SNP reduced Scotland’s voice to mere background noise.
@thegreat_I_am You've just proved the point that the English parties don't respect Scotland. So are you saying we should just vote for whatever England wants? Scotland has rejected the cons time and time again, but that's who we get lumbered with because England votes them in. BTW, we've seen it a multitude of times where Labour in Scotland or the tories in Scotland have been contradicted by their own colleagues in London, so it's not just the SNP that's ignored by wastemonster.
@@kaizer1903 Sorry you don’t seem to understand what I’ve written. We used to have great Scots in government. Men like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Robin Cook, ,Michael Forsyth., Malcolm Rifkind, Ian Lang, Hector Monroe, James Douglas Hamilton and a hundred more. Scotland used to produce Prime Ministers. We ran the UK. Not any more.
@@kaizer1903 The SNP never think Scots are good enough and we’ve gone from holding all the major offices of state and running the UK to irrelevance in less than a generation.
At its best? Most of those words were not from the heart, it was to pat themselves on the back into thinking they're good people. They spent decades insulting Alex, now all they have are nice words? It's so fake, and it's to try fool Scots into thinking those in Westminster have ever given a shiny Shite about Scots and Scotland.
How despicable to see, during Stephen Flynn's very moving speach that Sir Desmond Swain was lying against the Tory bench, eyes closed and clearly not at all bothered to pay decent respects to a man who he could only dream to be a quarter of...RIP Alex Salmond
Yes, hearing these "things" in Westminster pretending to have liked and respected a man, they spend decades insulting. Is it to fool themselves into thinking they're good people, or their attempt to fool Scots that they do, and ever have given a shiny shite about us?
He was one of the only guys who fought for your rights and liberties for 2 years so moan about Desmond all you want, just let's you see who's actually got eyes to see what's Infront of them
I'm sad he's gone, even if you didn't agree with his politics. Something increasingly rare in the political world these days - a character who fought for what he believed in (and came very close to getting it). Had he just wanted to be a poltician without beliefs or principles he could have joined the Labour or Conservative parties and would have ended up in the Cabinet or more. He put in one hell of a shift over nearly 40 years in politics.
He was a self serving politician and chancer.!!! A 40 year shift of pushing his own agenda and lining his bank account.!!! Am I wrong.??? Look at the state Scotland is in.!!!! 17 years of Nationalist shite.!!!
After Gordon Brown lost his election, he called for a progressive alliance to keep the Conservatives out. He was right. Life would be better now for all the UK if this had been achieved.
A fine selection of tribute speeches, wasted somewhat by Tice. He represents so much that so many folk in Scotland just can't be bothered with. Farage speaking would have been even worse.
I’m the last person to stick up for Richard Tice or his Reform cronies, but credit where it’s due Tice didn’t do anything objectionable in his speech that I found? I get not liking Reform, but this wasn’t one of the moments to bash them.
Not one person on this video is even half the politician that Alex was. I like Stephen Flynn, but the gall of these SNP politicians to wax lyrical about him when that party contributed to his untimely death is a scandal. They played a huge part in his death, and that shouldn’t be forgotten.
Salmond and Corbyn had a lot in common. Politians that care about us and want to help us. Sad to say but rare these days and it should be the default for anyone taking on this type of career. Davis spoke well and with genuine affection despite their differences and is how things should be. Murray sounded like he was reading from a script. I hope the independence movement can suceed going forward but this is a huge loss.
the dream will never die and judging by way labour are going..that dream may yet become actual reality when scotland for good rejects labour just like they did the tories...RIP Eck...give Messr Rab Burns my regards
@@kincaidwolf5184 someone said similar to me back in 1999, 15 years later it came close, you have no clue what future holds and way starmer is going dont bet on labour having a hold of scotland, fact remains 40+% of scots want indie and that cant be dismissed..
@jasalexander-hain2601 what's your point? You was wrong in 1999 and proven wrong in 2014 and still wrong in 2024? Starmer is significantly better than the SNP government. Because of the SNP, Scotland has no trams in Scotland, aside from the limited ones in Edinburgh, and no nuclear power plants. It can't deliver ferries, can't upgrade an A road... there are opposed to new oil licences. Scotland has basically become a 2nd world country under the SNP Government. We don't even have City or regional Mayors in Scotland, unlike in England. We have become the most centralised and poorly run country in Europe. The SNP abolished the 8 regional Police Forces into Policr Scottish, and it's absolutely awful. 1/3 of Police stations shut since 2014. Honestly, those of us outside the Central Belt have had enough of the SNP. Many of us in the Shetlands and Orkney Islands are warming to the idea of leaving Scotland and being represented by the UK similarly to Gibraltar or the Falklands. Who are the SNP to tell us the Shetlands Islands what we do with our oil? We have never elected them.
Yes and where were you when Sturgeon and people who are beside you tried to destroy him? Your actions have guaranteed that the SNP will disappear and there will never be Independence.
@@richardpeddie2060 It was obviously a genuine tribute from him too . I totally disagree with David Davis on just about everything , but he has been a champion of human rights and even linked up with now Labour Peer Baroness Chakrabarty on the subject . David was also a friend of the late Tony Benn and it just goes to show that people can still be friendly and respectful towards people they absolutely oppose politically .
Scotland gained some of its voice back under the SNP, and Alex. Gained some of its government back, gained some of its self-respect back. And we're not finished taking it back. Independence will succeed.
They all lined up to slander him in the final years of his life. Now they want to dress themselves in "dignity and gravitas" now that he's gone. Two-faced wankers. I'd have more respect for some of them if they still maintained their views of him even with his death.
This is ridiculous. Parliament is for solving the problems of our UK people, not for the accolades of hypocritical, grandstanding MPs who should be getting on with their REAL work.

My plumber had to retire due to the wear on his knees. Similarly my postman could no longer manage the weight of his bag or the climbing of stairs and my hairdresser had to close due to the excessive taxation that allowed people like Salmond to enrich themselves at working people's expense. As these true unsung and silent contributors to our economy pass away, it is them I shall remember and mourn and certainly not those who have destroyed our country and sucked the life from it.
The Russians stopped coming to Scotland in the 1980s. I remember them taking the bus from Ullapool to Inverness to go shopping. They were great fun in the pubs. Sad days when the “Klondykers “ ceased to visit.
Politically impressive, but as a person he was deeply unpleasant. While working as a waiter I worked an event where he was a guest. He was rude and demanding to the wait staff; clicking his fingers at us, demanding for things ("bring more wine" instead of "could we get more wine please"). I then worked as a tour guide on the royal mile in Edinburgh. Salmond did an act during The Fringe (comedy I think) and he was out handing out leaflets near our area. You need a permit for this. A young woman I worked with told him he needed to move away and canvas elsewhere and he told her to f off. The guy was an entitled blowhard.
The most divisive politician in the uk. Would have happily tore Scotland apart to achieve his totally unrealistic ambitions. The man and his successor, Sturgeon were a disaster for Scotland.
Unrealistic ambitions? What like a country of Scotland's size and resources being able to be a prosperous independent country? We were told in 2014 by the "better together" campaign that an independent Scotland would be out of the EU, there'd be an energy crisis, there would be a cost of living crisis, etc etc, well guess what, all those things came to fruition, but not because we got independence, but because we didn't. The UK as a whole is a total shambles under the Cons and now the red tories, so in future, think a bit about things before speaking total shite!
