If there is any negotiation of this sort going on, the absolute minimum that the SNP should go for, is not a Section 30 for another referendum, but the powers to hold referendums transferred to Holyrood. So that the SG can hold a referendum, on any subject at any time they choose to do it.

He knows he doesn't want to win an election. Not right now anyway.

Well, it seemed to get your attention. Which is what ads are designed to do. And thanks to you, that's the first ad I've seen on the TAMB for ages. Stop doing their job for them.

At the time I made that post, I was starting to think that there might be a slight chance (just a slight one) that this had been instigated by Nicola or someone very close to her. There are some rumours to that effect. Had that been shown to be the case, I don't think she would have lasted very long. But I am now convinced that this isn't what is happening here. This isn't a Sturgeon v Salmond thing. I don't know what it is, or who instigated it , but I am now convinced it wasn't Nicola. I think referring herself is a smart move. Sounds like something Alex himself would have done in the same situation.

Send it to me, I'll translate it for you.

That's class.

Never did Mary Whitehouse and Lord Longford any harm.

Is that a Mexican looking over the horizon at it?

This thread just took an unexpected turn.

And you think that's an "unpopular opinion" ? Where the fuk do you live? In a mosque?

The presenter has a Scottish name. What more representation were you expecting?

I wonder if we might be looking for a new First Minister soon?

One of the purposes of the Judicial Review was to establish the legality of the procedure as written. Because they didn't even follow that procedure, the SG caved in before that happened. That procedure is still in place and could be used again. Either against Salmond or somebody else. We still don't know if that procedure is lawful or not.

I would like to see some some savvy investigative journalist type person have a closer look at the background of this Judith MacKinnon.
