Alex Salmond: A politician who loved creating headlines

BBC
Summary
Nutrition label

71% Informative

Alex Salmond would be disappointed if he gave an interview that was not sufficiently interesting to make the news.

He tended not to limit interview duration and enjoyed further conversation, debate and showing off a bit after the microphones were off.

While he could be charming and entertaining and always offered a sharp analysis of the politics of the day , there was also a less pleasant side to his character.
