Alex Salmond unveils portrait of HIMSELF and this is how the internet reacted
Alex Salmond unveiled a portrait of himself at the Scottish National Galleries while the House of Commons debated whether to take military action in Syria.
Here’s the great unveiling:

Politicians eh? Who would think that they are are vain, easily-flattered fools who love nothing better than unveiling portraits of themselves instead of attending important, but hard-worky, debates.
That’s what the internet is saying today anyway – and they are mocking Alex merciless for it.

However, quick to defend him a SNP spokesman said: “Alex Salmond attended FMQs today… He is still an MSP as well as an MP, and fulfilling both duties”
Although this is probably the weirdest moment to come out the whole stupid affair:
