WE’VE got another special competition for our readers! We have two pairs of tickets to give away for the hit show Alex Salmond... Unleashed, which is continuing its tour of Scotland.
The show is coming to the Academy Theatre in Linlithgow on Friday March 9 for what is sure to be a special homecoming show for the former First Minister. The mini-tour then ends in Glasgow with a gig at the Citizen’s Theatre on Saturday March 10.
You can win a ticket for you and a friend for the both these shows by taking part in our caption competition!
Just send a caption for the photo above – the European Parliament’s top Brexit man Guy Verhofstadt talking to David Davis – and say whether you’d like to go to Linlithgow or Glasgow to submissions@thenational.scot to be in with a chance of winning.
The first two shows of Salmond’s mini-tour were due to take place last week but had to be postponed due to the Beast for the East. The first gig, at One Touch, Inverness, has been rescheduled for Saturday March 17, while the event at Caird Hall in Dundee has been rescheduled for Friday, April 27.
The lucky winners are in for a treat. Comedian Des Clarke, who proved a smash with his devastating impression of Donald Trump, will be joining Salmond on stage, as will Janey Godley, the Glaswegian comedian and writer while the music will be provided, as ever, by The Carloways.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
