Self interest seems to drive most people in high office. I'd like to think that our politicians made the interests of these islands their highest priorities. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, I can't be hopeful of that. Speaking of Alex Salmond, how about his new venture into television. have a read of this article. I think it might be the wrong thing to do, considering the Trump Russia debacle.

have a listen to Alex Salmond with Edie Stark on BBC radio Scotland ,broadcast on Wednesday.I think you'll find a man who has a good heart and who has worked all his life for his country .Who keeps his private life private and who cares for the folk he has worked for .Its a shame we cant clone him...lol

I have just listened to Desert Island Discs with Phil Scranton. The contrast between him, his dignity, compassion, morality ,courage and love for his fellow human beings and the sorry excuse we have for a Government, lying and scheming all in their own self interest could not be sharper.
