AC Grayling has said: “I have now come to the view that it is unconscionable that Scotland, which voted to be in the EU, should be dragged out by England which pays so little attention, has so little interest and care really for Scotland, other than as a useful appendage.”
If England’s Brexit is what has brought about his regret, then so be it. Everyone has their own trigger point. However, I suspect that Professor Grayling knew little about Scotland when he added his support to Dan Snow and Tom Holland’s love bomb campaign in 2014.

Why he considered Tom Holland an authority on Scotland, when Holland admitted to never having set foot in the country before 2014, remains a mystery. Less of a mystery is Dan Snow’s motivation, being married into the UK’s wealthiest family, the Grosvenor family headed by the Duke of Westminster, who happens to be one of Scotland’s biggest private landowners and property magnates.

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
