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. What should we do with our second vote in 2021? What happens if Westminster says no to indyref2?
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 conversation, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. We’ve had hundreds of emails from you complaining about this, asking us to take steps to ensure that these people aren’t given a platform on our site.
IT is being billed as “a new documentary about Scotland and Brexit and what the hell happens next” – Beyond Brexit will premiere tonight in a special online event. The 50-minute film examines the consequences for Scotland of withdrawing from the European Union, when it has such massive implications for our entire nation in terms of our rights, democracy and our place in the world. Beyond Brexit will explore how we got to where we are now, the rise of English nationalism and the implications of Brexit for immigration, Scotland and the other UK nations.
