WEDNESDAY night’s BBC six o’clock news, broadcast from Glasgow, was a blatant anti-independence show. The sets where the narrator presented the news were totally immersed in the “Union” colours – red, white and blue. Further, as is commonplace these days, their reporters were more aggressive in their interviews and questioning with/of independence supporters – and Nicola in particular, following up on fictitious “standing down” stories.

It would appear that they had to do something to shore up Boris at this “vulnerable” time and distract from his catalogue of errors!
Independence is now closer than ever judging by the panic in the BBC ranks!

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
