Salmond slur

A CHOICE moment for Alex Salmond on his Kremlin-backed TV show this week. His main guest, actor Brian Cox, was reflecting that many Scots popped their clogs at 67 or 68. “Not us,” said the former first minister. “No, we’re over that,” said Mr Cox, 71. Alas, Mr Salmond turned a sprightly 63 on Hogmanay. Maybe he needs more make-up.
