WHY does the BBC continue to invite Mr Farage to appear frequently on screen to broadcast his totally unresearched, off-the-cuff pontifications?
Remember “German car makers will make sure we get a great trade deal”? The latest one being “the EU are scared stiff of having a competitor on their doorstep”.

If Nissan and Vauxhall leave the country in the event of No Deal, we will have little choice but to buy European vehicles to service demand. However, with something like 40 million vehicles registered in the UK, saturation point must be on the horizon. A drop in sales is already indicating this. Also, the target market for European manufactured goods must be Asia, as the UK is diminutive in comparison.
However, now that we have left the EU I suppose we can take comfort from being forced to assist Donald Trump in causing chaos around the world and selling us more expensive pharmaceuticals as well as growth-hormone beef.

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
