I HAVE just read David McEwan Hill’s letter (The National, March 5.)
I agree the tactic of the Unionists is to delay because they know they will lose. I also agree we need short, sharp slogans and would suggest that at 31 words, his is at least 21 words too long.

I am sure there are plenty of people in the SNP and larger Yes movement who could come up with ideas. Here are a couple of my own thoughts:
- Get independence done
- Take back control
- Scotland’s people should decide Scotland’s future
- Stand on our own two feet
- Make our own decisions for Scotland
- This partnership is not working for us
- What have you done with our wealth?
- Why has Norway earned double the UK in tax from oil?

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
