So long, Alex

Calton has lost count of the number of times he has heard the dulcet tones of Donald Trump on the radio this last week. His comments on windfarms were so calm, so clear, so concise and so cleverly designed to provide a soundbite that he made our First Minister sound like a rank amateur as he huffed and puffed and blustered his way through his interview on Call Kaye this morning, especially when questioned on his relationships with Trump and Murdoch. (Has anyone else noticed Salmond's tendency to giggle and snort like a schoolboy when asked awkward questions? Does anyone really believe all the stuff about jobs for Scotland?) Alex is increasingly looking like a liability for the SNP. It will be interesting to see how they do on Thursday.
