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.

In less than two weeks, the first major UK film festival of 2021 kicks off in Glasgow. Alas, like most things right now it is a virtual ‘At Home’ event, with festival attendees being able to take advantage of Glasgow Film’s new online viewing platform. As sad as it is that we can’t all get together to celebrate the cinema we love, this does of course open up the festival to a wider audience who wouldn’t usually be able to make the trip to Glasgow.
The festival programme this year has a typically international feel, with numerous premieres from filmmakers across the world, and a special strand focusing on the stunning cinema of South Korea. There is of course a terrific selection of Scottish cinema to explore, a few much talked about American movies likely to be busy when award season rolls around, and as always, our friends at FrightFest have brought along a small selection of films to thrill and delight us.
