I READ with interest the article “Farage group in Harry Potter train picture row” (June 24), because I had also received a copy of the said leaflet which in my mind was based on fiction.
It took no cognisance of the result of the recent European elections in which every one of the 32 regions in Scotland voted in favour of remaining in the EU.

It would appear that Nigel Farage is completely out of touch and perhaps not even interested in the views of the people who live and work in Scotland.
But in relation to the leaflet’s impact it was not all negative as it reminded me that “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance” and therefore I decided to make a financial donation to the local SNP Constituency Association which is committed to and working to ensure that Scotland remains within the EU.

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
