Alex Salmond is loyal to the United Kingdom's head of state, Queen Elizabeth.
So Salmond is just another lackey.
No "King-over-the-water" he.
So the Scottish National Party leadership bid of Alex Salmond is of the United Kingdom, by the United Kingdom and for the United Kingdom.
The Salmond come-back has been given the OK by Queen Elizabeth's loyal knight - Sir Sean Connery.
The Connery/Salmond plan is to keep the SNP on its knees to the UK crown where the SNP leader has always been. (Unlike the previous deputy leader - Roseanna Cunningham.)
The Elizabethan royalists have been panicked by the prospect that the SNP leadership could be won by Roseanna Cunningham - a staunch Scottish republican. The royalists' concern is that if the SNP moves to the republican left, Scottish independence could soon become a reality, rather than "a fantasy to keep the Jocks happy but still within the UK". Her Majesty wouldn't like real Scottish independence, oh no.
Connery is a fine actor and Salmond is an able politician - but they are working for Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, NOT FOR SCOTLAND.
Rich-man Connery from his Bahamas-tax-haven is the biggest single donor to the SNP. What does Sir Sean expect for his money - around £50,000 a year?
For this bribe, the SNP members are being asked to betray Scotland for Queen Elizabeth.
In the film Braveheart, William Wallace is offered a bribe too. Gibson as Wallace says -
“A Lordship and titles, gold, that I should become Judas … Slaves are made are in such ways!”
Connery didn’t need Queen Elizabeth’s Knighthood, and the SNP doesn’t need Connery’s money. Scotland, certainly, doesn’t need a political party that can be bought off.
So my advice to SNP members remains the same -
Vote Roseanna Cunningham for SNP leader
Vote Christine Grahame for SNP deputy leader
