SO Boris is yet again denying democracy to Scotland.
How ironic that only a few days ago he was referring to the Falkland Islands stating “that it is up to the people of the Falkland Islands to determine their island’s future be that linked to Argentina or the UK”.
Last year he said the same about Gibraltar in reference to talks with Spain and changes to border controls there caused by Brexit.
I dislike him and his government more than any other in my life so far. They are a disgrace and show beyond doubt that most politicians lie.

So Iain Stewart, the Tory Under-Secretary of State against Scotland, tells Mhairi Black that a Union is better than independence. That being the case, what was Brexit all about? Why not Scotland?

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
