Ulitzer95 12,380 Posted 18 hours ago Watching the BBC documentary/tribute to Alex Salmond tonight for the sake of form watching and to see who's absent. Participated: Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, former MP Geoff Aberdein, advisor Ian Blackford, former MP/SNP Westminster leader Libby Brooks, Guardian journo Gerard M. Burns, artist Roseanna Cunningham, former MP/MSP Sir David Davis, MP Kenny Farquharson, Times journo Kenny MacAskill, former MP/MSP Lord Jack McConnell, former MSP/First Minister George Osborne, former MP/Chancellor Lesley Riddoch, "journo" Elaine C. Smith, actress John Swinney, former MP/current MSP and First Minister Eilidh Whiteford, former MP Of the above, all looked good apart from Kenny MacAskill who looks awful for a man of 66. Perhaps not a surprise to see Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf not participating. A little more surprised to see Angus Robertson not on there. Absentees that I'm more interested in – Henry McLeish, 76, former First Minister Alasdair Morgan, 79, former MP/SNP Westminster leader/Deputy SNP leader Dennis Canavan, 82, former MP and Yes Scotland chair Sir George Reid, 85, former MP/MSP/first SNP presiding officer Jim Sillars, 87, former MP and Deputy SNP Leader Food for thought... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,374 Posted 10 hours ago Jim Sillars health went downhill after Margo died. Reading between the lines of mutual friends (who were furious the press kept quoting him over the SNP collapse as "he's no in a position to remember what he says") bit of mental decline. Dennis Cannavan looked very frail last we saw him, pre-lockdown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
