Hitler was chosen as Time magazine's Man of the Year for 1938

Indeed. How do you measure the success of a politician other than their ability to convince idiots of something that flies in the face of all common sense? If it wasn't Salmond, it might well be Farrage. Though if Hitler were still around neither would have stood a chance.

I don't much care for Salmond - I think he's dishonest - but I think this may be correct. The movement for Scottish independence has been going on for many many years, and Salmond has achieved a referendum with a reasonable (c. 25% if we are to believe the bookies) chance of success, and failure will still lead to a strong call for devo max. That is good politics.

And if that wasn't enough, look who's politician of the year.



Salmond 'politician of the year' - Scotland / News / The Evening Telegraph

Just goes to prove that slime overwhelms everything & the lunatics really are in charge of the asylum.

I think the old boobie deserves something.

How about we give him 'the CUK order of the lamppost'

GQ is full of tulip anyway

he got that award (as did many other people who got awards) simply because they needed to make a high profile gig and so invite some 'celebs' and give them a 'gong' .

Means feck all

[Sysman]

The former prime minister was handed the award to a ‘muted’ response at a celebrity-packed gathering in central London. It was in recognition of his ‘philanthropy, establishing three charities’.

Shouldn't that read "Tax efficient money moving vehicles"?

[JustinTime]

I didn't know he even had a stamp collection.

I can't let that one past without the obligatory:
Very good.

How's that going by the way? Has it improved over there since he got the job three years ago?

He got suity in as the business analyst.

To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.
