THIS is the third letter I have written to The National about the vile Johnson henchwoman called Priti Patel.
At the end of the transition period, low-paid workers wanting to immigrate into the UK will be denied visas. The government only wants “the brightest and the best”, so the impact of this will be immense on the care sector, food processing plants, farm and factory workers. The government’s robotic response to the comments already coming in from these sectors is: “you’ve had it very good for so long, now is the time to automate and implement modern-day technology.”

Patel’s family were kicked out of Uganda by Idi Amin in 1971 with absolutely nothing and the UK allowed them to settle here to start again. She is now withdrawing the rights of people to move here unless they have a job earning more than £25,000 a year and can already speak English. The sheer hypocrisy of this woman is breathtaking. Westminster is becoming a psychopathic government and by whatever means it takes, we must get away from them.

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
