OUR reader Mary E Millington has told of her shock at finding a picture of Kezia Dugdale’s head photoshopped onto her body in yesterday’s Scottish Sun.
Mary, 65, from Glasgow’s east end, said the original picture had been taken at a Stop Trident rally in Faslane in May just hours before she was arrested for breach of the peace and malicious mischief.
“I was outraged really. Jeremy Corbyn, at least he’s against Trident,” she said.
“I didn’t want Kezia Dugdale’s head on my shoulders. I was arrested later that day. It was quite a heavy day. I don’t like to see it put to ridicule.”
However, Mary, an SNP member, says she was buoyed by the vote on Trident renewal at the weekend.
“Anyone who’s against Trident, I think they’re great. I just hope we can get things moving and stop the Trident replacement.”
Mary, stand assured that we here at you super soaraway National will guarantee to never photoshop a politician’s head onto your body.
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
