Political leaders do not usually demonstrate this level of humour. His critics will call it a stunt. Me? I call it personality. The fritters gag’s sweet.

I agree. If he hadn’t been good at it, it would be another story, but he pulled it off well.
Comment by Norman Lamont November 15, 2008 @ 11:12 amWell done Wee Eckie. Lucky he had the pan loaf face for it. Good effort for the weans.
Comment by Di Lewis November 15, 2008 @ 12:02 pmThanks Mark – I missed this. Oustanding. Show-stealing. Executed perfectly. Dissed others and self-dissed.
The Sky gag and Glasgow-East/Glenrothes were just as sweet.
“Yes we can”
“Nah we didnae”
Brilliant.
Comment by James November 15, 2008 @ 2:26 pmVery clever indeed. Like I say he’ll get jealous snipes and accusations of showboating but it didn’t do Tony Blair any harm when he did it less well with Catherine Tate.
Comment by markgorman November 15, 2008 @ 2:38 pmSalmond’s was Oscar material compared to that.
You felt Blair’s was (I’m trying remain unbiased) more calculated. Probably Tait and Alastair Campbell’s idea. I doubt Blair had seen the sketches. It was funny just coz Blair agreed to do it. Salmond’s performance was excellent.
You just know he enjoyed Jolly on Hogmanany every year. A more astute and subtle choice to do a take on. Less so but still calculated too mind. Just right for his target audience.
