IF there is one thing this Brexit disaster has taught the people of Scotland it is that the UK is not a “union of equals”. With Brexit the Scottish constitutional debate has changed forever and independence is now inevitable. The alternative is to remain in an isolated UK, dependent on Trump’s US, governed by a distant right-wing Tory government we did not vote for.
This broken UK is now a post-imperial British state, without a constitution, increasingly under the control of anti-European English nationalism.

Furthermore, if the Scottish people think the Tory Brexit party will protect Scotland’s fishing and farming industries, they are very much mistaken. A majority Tory government will certainly use these industries as pawns in any future trade negotiations with the EU.
To defeat the deceit and lies of right-wing Conservatism, fix Brexit and put Scotland’s future firmly in Scotland’s hand, vote SNP tomorrow.

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
