I cannot understand why the Scottish government and Alex Salmond decided to cancel the Glasgow airport rail link. Glasgow can be a world-class city andtransport links are critical.

The SNP government needs to wake up to reality and Alex Salmond in particular must stop misleading the public by claiming that the SNP can prevent spending cuts. A government which refuses to face up to the reality of a falling budget will be incapable of dealing with the consequences.

I bitterly regret the irresponsibility of the BBC and others for generating the ridiculous and wholly unwarranted volume of publicity the BNP received in Scotland ... Yet they didn't come third, they didn't save their deposit, and they were resoundingly rejected by the people of Glasgow North East.

The SNP is a curious mix. In Alex Salmond’s speech there was much talk of social democracy; if you listened to John Swinney there was a lot of talk of promoting business.
SOURCE: Times Online -

This is a British general election for a British prime minister and a British government. The SNP is irrelevant, and Alex Salmond is not even standing.

We know that Alex Salmond said he didn't mind the economic policies of Margaret Thatcher but it's now clear he is prepared to line his party up with the Tories. This is a betrayal of Scotland.
