Alex Salmond “Absolutely everyone is scaremongering”

Absolutely everyone is scaremongering about everything according to SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr show, Mr Salmond explained “George Osborne, Ed Balls, Danny Alexander are all ruling out any shared currency agreements with an independent Scotland.  They don’t mean it. They’re scaremongering. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, said it would be “extremely difficult, if not impossible” for an independent Scotland to join the EU.  Scaremongering. Even that weatherman John Ketley has been on trying to tell people that an independent Scotland would not have Mediterranean weather every day. Scaremongering. Everybody’s at it. The light on the petrol gauge of my car is telling me I need to fill it up. Scaremongering.  I’ll be fine to drive it indefinitely. Even my lower colon is going on at me trying to spin me a yarn that I need a shit. I’ll not be doing anything of the sort of course, it’s pure scaremongering. I know mongering of scare when I see it. It’s in league with my arse and both clearly have a hidden agenda.”

In a later appearance on Andrew Neil’s weekday political show ‘Afternoon Bollocks’, Mr Salmond refused to say anything other than the word “scaremongering” before the interview, during it and long afterwards, after everyone had left and he was the only person remaining in the studio. A member of the production team told us “I tried to tell him we were going to have to lock up and turn the lights off, he just shouted ‘scaremongering!’ at me. I don’t open up again until tomorrow morning. I’m assuming he’s still there.”
