I MARVEL at the intellectual deep thinking of Neal Ascherson and Gerry Hassan. It is on Mr Ascherson’s piece that I comment on here.
Over the past few years, reading the unkind letters about the actions of Nicola Sturgeon’s appeal to the Court of Session/Supreme Court I had begun to think that I was the only reader who thought she was correct in that action.

Mr Ascherson’s opinion clarified for me Sturgeon’s reason for taking that route at the time.
My opinion has always been that civil disobedience was a crucial element in our struggle, but reading his piece concerning institutional disobedience and the forms it should take opened up a realisation that this gives us a greater strength to our aims.

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!
