    I always think the daily Mash gets it about right...

    SNP leader Alex Salmond has admitted he has never been entirely sure what he means when he says ‘independence’.

    Scotland’s first minister revealed he has always thought of independence as a ‘play within a play... within a dream’.

    He said: “Well, it’s a concept, it’s an idea, it’s a thing.

    “In my mind I see it as a tree in the shape of Scotland. Does that make sense?”

    Salmond said the idea of independence involving things like a currency and a central bank, was ‘very left brain’, adding: “How would you even do that?”

    He said: “I think once independence is here I’ll have a much better idea of what it is.

    “Any other questions?”
