Salmond stopped from sharing tale about sado-masochism with public
Former first minister Alex Salmond was halted from sharing an anecdote about sado-masochism on national radio yesterday.
The EX-SNP leader was promoting his Edinburgh Festival show on Radio 4’s Today programme when he teased listeners with the unusual tale.
He told presenter John Humphrys: “When I came on the programme this morning you were talking about sadomasochism.
“I actually once was a part of a three-part live interview with your colleague Kirsty Wark…” At this point, the presenter intervened, saying: “Got to stop you at exactly that point. How frustrating.
“The programme has come to an end.”
Mr Salmond later hinted that he would divulge all at his Festival chat show, which opens tomorrow.
In response to queries about the anecdote on Twitter, he said: “If you want to find out, there are still some tickets left for the extra shows...”
The former SNP leader, who lost his Gordon Westminster seat to the Tories in this year’s general election, last week announced extra dates for his Alex Salmond Unleashed after the run sold out.
The show is being produced by another ousted Nationalist MP, Tasmina Ahmed-sheikh, who lost in Ochil and South Perthshire.
