Alex Salmond photo-bombed by a Union flag during live interview
Alex Salmond has had a taste of his own medicine as a Union flag was waved proudly behind him during a live STV interview for his White Paper on Scottish independence. The stunt seemed to mock a similar one pulled by the SNP leader during Andy Murray’s Wimbledon victory earlier this year. As Murray celebrated back in July, Salmond whipped out a Saltire and held it behind David Cameron’s head just as a camera turned to the prime minister. At the time, flag-bombing Salmond was accused of being crass, something he was quick to laugh off. We suspect he won't find it so funny this time.
the guy stood behind Alex Salmond with the Union flag on @itvnews was hillarious.
