OUR readers have once again gone the extra mile to promote the only newspaper in the country that supports an independent Scotland.
This time it was Yes Kelty who answered The National’s call for grassroots groups to help distribute the paper in their communities.
More than 1500 copies of The National, including vouchers for the Sunday National, were successfully delivered to
residents in and around the Kelty/Cowdenbeath/Kinross area on Saturday.
Local businesses, hairdressers, pubs and cafes also took some copies to give away to their customers.
Yes Kelty’s Carol Gilmour said: “It was a very good day – we are delighted to be able to help our only independence-supporting newspaper. A special thanks to activists who came from Dunfermline and Oakley to help.”
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
