DESPITE my long distrust of Alex Salmond, I did for one fleeting moment think he had acted with honour and dignity by resigning after Scotland rejected his call for separation.

That temporary admiration quickly dissolved when I heard his “rant” on how the three main party leaders at Westminster had “tricked and lied” to get their way!

Sorry Alex, did you say THEY had tricked and lied to the people?

I think Scotland now knows they will get many more powers now and faster than had there been a Yes vote.

So for the sake of Scotland and Scots unity Alex – go quietly and preserve some of your dignity!
