Here's a recent Bell from just last week about a pretty crappy speech Tony Blair made: My point is that Salmond's speech was excellent, very European and constructive and positive in character, expressing a seemingly genuine desire for cooperation and mutual growth- a speech that should be right up Bell's alley politically. Blair's speech was racist and xenophobic and bigoted and deserved criticism. The only reason Bell is giving Salmond a hard time is either because Bell doesn't like the SNP or he doesn't like Scottish people. If he judged the speech on its own merits he wouldn't be taking the piss.

As a Welshman I don't have much of a stake in the Scottish referendum (other than wishing you would take us with you) but Bell does seem to be quite vehemently anti-independence for some reason.

I hope you can get permission, it would be interesting to see whether he has a more nuanced stance on the referendum. Obviously as effective as political cartoons are as a medium, nuance is usually not one of their strengths.

Fair enough I didn't intend to misrepresent you, he's certainly not without his problems I agree, while one might argue that support for Murdoch is clever political manoeuvring his support of Trump is pretty damning. I think he's probably the least bad choice as things stand though and independence from Westminister would probably be a good thing for Scotland (also for Wales and most of England if they could get it).

To be fair Trump built his golf course and that was pretty much it, any other demands he had about things like windfarms and further expansion and whatnot fell on deaf ears, to the point where he threw a hissy fit and declared he'd never do business in Scotland again and was loving off to Ireland. People were forcibly evicted to build the course, and that's horrendous, but Trump doesn't really have a say in Scottish politics.
