THERE have been criticism recently in your columns of the commentator and journalist Andrew Marr’s anti-Scottish and anti-Gaelic mouthings. Such criticism is misplaced as he is a product of his background and education.

Mr Marr had any Scottish views knocked out of him from a young age, growing up imbued with British attitudes that anything Scottish was inferior. His career reflects this background as he’s always championed “Britishness” and been a voice for the establishment.
His parents must have thought that their money on his education was well spent as his career progressed as an establishment voice. They, and we, got what they paid for!

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
