Before Alex Salmond is cast into oblivion, it's worth remembering what he achieved. When he took over as leader of the SNP in 1990 it was a marginal force. He reshaped the movement and put his considerable weight behind the campaign for a Scottish parliament - and delivered.
Let's show just how divided the Yes movement is if you haven't already joined @SNP do it. The unionist party's and media will spin this as an attack on Independence. Don't let them. #DissolveTheUnion
Shut up and eat your cereal!
Aye right! Will I feck!
Nobody is allowed to point out shite work because
'You wouldn't possibly understand'
Partly true I suppose, can't possibly understand how ANY editor published that shite.
@JennyMarra Bet you didn't say a word when Alastair Carmichael crowdfunded his defence against his Nicola Sturgeon smear - and he ADMITTED GUILT, then denied it all and eventually tried to finger a Civil Servant for his own wrong-doing.
Alex denies it all.
Is that why you're a tad angry?
If anything it's the opposite - I'm a regular WOS commenter and last night at least three long-term Wingers actually became SNP members. (Similar reaction after the SNP WM walk-out.)
AS has always been a divisive figure, aye, but his *treatment* has brought cohesion.
Oh FFS! didn't take them long, "Alex Salmond 'forced' to resign" seriously, just get yersels tae fuck, and after that, get yersels tae fuck some more. #NewsNight
Has anyone seen any prominent YES journalists signing the @IndyNationScot @ScotCovenant and then using social media to share their participatory news?
Because we certainly haven't!
Please do let us know when all that action begins!

Purely focusing on the split of SNP/Yes supporters over the whole Salmond issue. The implication is that people will drift from Independence and that is quite possibly the worst analysis of the current situation. I don’t think there will be a single supporter going anywhere.
@JennyMarra You're pedalling #FakeNews crowd funding is nothing to do with sexual harassment it's about fairness to defend himself and due process but of course you know this. No wonder Labour are dead in Scotland. #DissolveTheUnion
I think it is possible to see emerging tonight the outline of a new and distinctive grouping within the Scottish independence movement, loyal to Alex Salmond and, if necessary, outwith the SNP.
This is absolute drivel. Nothing is splintering apart. I can only assume this is a spokesman for the 'guilty until proven innocent' brigade who can't get his head around the fact that some people remember what the principle is actually supposed to be.

@fionalynas @TrulyScottishTV Hanging his head in shame??
Has it been proven that he has done something wrong??
Innocent until proven guilty!
You need to stop & think before opening your mouth...
