BORIS Johnson has failed the British public – again. His own words. The readers of The National knew this was coming. But yet again, some of us in Scotland think that it’s not a resigning offence. One lady on TV thought it was “immaterial”. To accept a Prime Minister who has no integrity or honesty and say that’s OK? What hope for Scotland?
And guess what, yet again we had Douglas Ross (the only Tory MSP available for comment) trying to deflect attention from his boss onto the situation in Ukraine. He even commented that Nicola Sturgeon had broken the ministerial code when this was not the case. All designed to deflect the spotlight away from Johnson.

How many open goals does the SNP need? Can I plead with Ian Blackford and other cabinet members from the SNP to forget these bunglers in London and at Holyrood. We know they are not fit for office. Who cares about them and their selfish ambitions? Let’s tell everyone in Scotland how much better we can do on our own and the kind of country we can have. Give us a vision and do it soon – please!

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
