We can expect Salmond’s apology soon, right?

A few weeks ago the SNP attacked Tom Harris over the creation of a “Downfall” parody that mocked Alex Salmond and senior Nat Joan McAlpine. He was later forced to resign. At the time I said that the reaction to Harris’s video had been an overreaction, but the SNP described the video as:

“silly, negative nonsense”

So Alex Salmond would need to be really stupid to make a Nazi reference of his own, right? Yet according to the Scotsman:

“Mr Salmond used the term “Gauleiter” – the name for a regional Nazi party leader – to describe BBC political adviser Ric Bailey”

I presume Mr Salmond’s apology will be forthcoming? Otherwise his party would be guilty of gross hypocrisy…
