YOUR outstanding front page banner headline, “Six weeks to Save Scotland” (The National, October 30), says it all.
December 12 will be Scotland’s D-Day when the Scottish electorate will decide either to take the road to independence or decide to remain a UK “colony” governed by Westminster. Such an outcome could mean that the NHS and other public services could be privatised by Westminster and without our consent.

It must be remembered that without exception all of the Scottish Tory MPs have, irrespective of the wishes of their constituents, backed Boris Johnson’s Brexit proposals. It is acknowledged that these proposals would bring about a steep rise in unemployment in Scotland together with a diminution of living standards.
It would be poetic justice if those Tory MPs who have supported the PM, who is blatantly anti-Scottish, were among the first to experience the curse of unemployment.

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
