WELL done to the organisers of the Chain of Freedom. I was fortunate to attend with around 20 others from the Yes Paisley campaign team. I know we may have fallen short in some parts of the chain but those who were there will testify that despite a cold day, everyone was in great spirits.

It felt like the AUOB marches of old, where people with a shared vision of an independent Scotland came together to show our solidarity. The fact that this was not a party political organised event and was organised by independence supporters highlights that no matter what independence-supporting political parties end up doing, the spirit of independence is strong amongst the ordinary supporters of the independence movement.
Once again, thanks to the organisers – it was a great event and helped boost our confidence that support for Scotland’s independence is getting stronger.

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
