WE need someone of Mick Lynch’s calibre at the helm of the Yes movement (Lesley Riddoch: Rise of union boss has lessons for Yes campaign ahead of referendum, Jun 23).
He doesn’t play by British state, British establishment or British media rules. He’s unflappable, and sticks to his gun before shooting straight at them.
Those that wish to take the lead in restoring Scotland’s statehood and full self-government need to take a leaf out of his book.

Mike Lynch also has the advantage of actually getting on their stations and being able to talk to them. As to him knowing what he is talking about while the interviewers do not – hello? How many of them know anything about Scotland’s position other than it is a beautiful playground?

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
