IT was good to see fellow Dundonian Brian Cox on the Andrew Marr show (also a Dundonian, but we’ll whisper that one).
He was promoting his book, and he also spoke about politics. Brian said Scotland been sidelined and ignored, especially during and since the Thatcher years. That was why he’d moved to SNP.
Great that such an international star is given a platform on BBC to talk about “his country” and air his views!

WATCH: Starmer stunned as Brian Cox destroys Labour and makes case for independence
AS Brian indicated while tapping on his watch, how much time have you got to tell the many ways Scotland have been abused, sidelined and ignored? I think he was being far too polite and Starmer got off too lightly but I’m sure given an hour or so Starmer would be nursing a bent ear and a much deserved bootprint on his arse.

Well done, a man comfortable in his own skin and not a victim of cringe! Bravo Brian!!

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
