Quotes by Owen Dudley Edwards (?)

“Salmond made a tactical retreat from SNP leadership in 2000. His pre-eminent hatred of war ultimately brought him back after Blair's instant dive into the Iraq whirlpool (while demanding Holyrood Labour subservience to himself). Salmond's resourcefulness in government, his enlargement of its international profile and transmission of joy in Scotland's quest for its seat in the United Nations, carried him far beyond predictions as he took independence all previous heights in Referendum 2014. But however much he was caricatured as 'Smart Alex', he was more deeply self-critical than Parnell, and was unwise to resign premiership and leadership after the referendum's defeat. His encouragement of his juniors generously attributed greater fidelity and integrity than his SNP successors proved to possess.”

“The choice in Scotland is now between UK nationalism clutching destruction and Scottish nationalism working to save people and planet at home and across the world.”
