IT is a cold, wet and windy November day. The central heating has been off for a couple of hours and the room is getting noticeably colder again. I have resisted all attempts by my energy supplier to let them install a smart meter in a futile attempt at an “ignorance is bliss” strategy when it comes to the fuel bill.

The Winter Fuel Payment is no more. The UK and Scottish Government are locked in a blame game over it with no prospect of any winners. It is probably too windy for Scotland’s many wind turbines to be allowed to turn but their mainly foreign owners will still be paid, from my fuel bill, to keep them switched off.
Is there no end to this energy madness?

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
