Salmond got in a tizz because he is under immense pressure and was bound to crack sooner or later. The fact is, the SNP's entire raison d'etre is independence, they have had forever to plan how they would do it, and yet when it came to it the plan was far too easily shredded by the opposition. You just can't build a credible plan built on assertions about the goodwill of people you routinely insult in public.

Yes, there are people who think that Scotland could negotiate its way into the EU prior to separation occurring, but - and Marr did not ignore this, he actually pointed it out to Salmond - none of them is either currently in office, or has ever been in an elected position.

In terms of weighing up contrary opinions Barrosso and Van Rumpuy quite simply trump the compliant 'experts' the SNP has chosen to build its case on.
