SCOTLAND In Union have responded to the latest poll on independence with a list of Better Together's greatest hits.
On hearing that a majority of Scots now back leaving the UK, Chief Executive Pamela Nash said: “There have been nearly 100 polls since the first independence referendum that Scots were promised was once-in-a-generation, and 87 per cent of those have found majority support for remaining in the UK.
“This latest poll is clearly a reaction to the sudden upheaval at Westminster, but the challenges that Scotland would face if we broke away from the rest of the UK remain unchanged.
"That includes tax rises and public service cuts which would hit the poorest in society, and scrapping the pound. Whatever your views on Brexit or Boris, independence is not the answer - we are stronger together.”
The pro-Union organisation isn't the only one having an extremely normal one today.
Protest group A Force For Good dismissed the Holyrood magazine poll by claiming that only MSPs read it, ignoring that Lord Ashcroft was also behind the survey.
They went as far as claiming that more people read their Facebook page daily than have ever read Holyrood magazine, which was founded twenty years ago.
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!
