JINGS, Crivvens and help ma boab! Auld Broon’s at it agen. How is it every time that eejit opens his gob nuthin but lees come fleeing oot? He’s telt us we wir gaun tae lose the use o’ the blood transfusion service and he telt us wir pensions were a’ at risk if wi went independint. Whit a load o lees that wiz!
Then he telt us we could hae “Devo max” an it wid be the same iz bein independint. Mair lees fir naethin’ cum o’ that eithir. An noo he’s trying tae tell us that the NHS in an indy Scotland wid be at risk. Huh!
Man, it’s shairly obvious tae onywan wi haf a brain that the devolved NHS in Scotland is performin’ well abune that in the rest o the UK. It’s mair likeli ti be gaun far better in an indy Scotland than it evir wid if that May wifie wis tae sell it aff tae the Yanks.

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
