The Dream Shall Never Die: An Interview with Alex Salmond | 36

The Dream Shall Never Die: An Interview with Alex Salmond | 36

In the light of the Scottish Parliament’s recent tribute to the remarkable Scottish politician that was Alex Salmond, after his untimely death on 12th October, this episode takes us back to a 2015 interview Salmond conducted with veteran BBC journalist, Jim Naughtie, in the wake of the vote on Scottish Independence, in which he talked about his life in politics, the phenomena that is Donald Trump, and why he felt impelled to write his memoir, The dream Shall Never Die, which recounts the 100 days leading up to the referendum from an insider’s perspective. The interview captures both Salmond’s irrepressible personality and political legacy and his commitment to supporting festivals like the Beyond Borders International Festival.
