IN Sunday’s papers Humza Yousaf proposes regional assemblies and organisers to raise effort towards independence.
To me, this seems like another way to kick independence further down the road and be seen doing something while achieving nothing. Nothing but a few more years supping at the gravy train of the independence movement, without any visible progress.

This attitude, along with that of Alyn Smith and Stewart McDonald, seems to be sometime, maybe, for independence, with no urgency even hinted at.
Someone should remind them what the SNP was founded for – not independence for it’s own sake, but a better Scotland for all.

WE need leadership, not regional talking shops. If they leaders can’t see the way ahead, were sunk.

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
