AS the Westminster circus continues, Scotland and the UK remain in a state of flux as the they await the final Brexit decision. However the people of Scotland have another choice as they did not vote for Brexit, yet will be dragged out of Europe by a Tory government they did not vote for.

I quote Ian Blackford, the Westminster SNP leader: “We might not be able to save the UK, but we can save Scotland”. He went on to say amid cries of derision from the Westminster establishment rabble: “We have an escape route from the chaos of Brexit, an independent Scotland. Scottish independence will result in our country being a destination in Europe, a country at the heart of Europe, while the rest of the UK turns inward, isolated from its European neighbours”.

Since the Brexit disaster has certainly brought about “changed circumstances”, indyref 2 will go ahead. Independence is an active ongoing state of mind that will change the nation for the betterment of all who live, work and love Scotland.

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
