Well I was under the impression that after the NO vote Salmond fell on his sword and resigned.
Yes he has fallen on his sword. No he has not resigned, he announced his resignation and will stand down at the SNP party conference in due course. Meanwhile he is still first minister of Scotland.
why does he just not feck off lick his wounds and write his memiors, class A knob
He hasn't got any wounds to lick. Wee Eck has achieved more for Scotland than any other politician in recent history.
He still the most talented politician in the UK by a country mile, and the most popular politician in Scotland. Oh yes many who don't like him despise him, hate him, but many more respect him.
What he is talking about (haven't seen the sky news thing) I would guess, is turning the 45% into SNP votes, perhaps increasing that figure. That would be sensational, that would give the SNP most of the Scottish seats at Westminster and a big solid majority at the Scottish Parliament. He's talking about, I think, making the impossible the norm.
It's certainly what many on the streets are talking about.
This is not over.
