SINCE the changes made by our First Minister to the Scottish Cabinet there have been expressions of approval and gratitude to, in particular, the previous Cabinet Secretary for Health, made by leaders of the opposition parties at Holyrood. This is yet a further example of the naked hypocrisy which characterises their behaviour and ethos.
Each week we were treated, for example, to the oppositions` crude braying of condemnation of our Scottish NHS. It is now perfectly clear that this was inspired, not by any desire to improve our health service – any proposals being in high relief due to their absence – but by an unhealthy antagonism to the SNP and its determination to advance Scotland to independence from Westminster. The personal attacks on Shona Robison, relentless and now clearly unwarranted, were despicable, their sole value being to expose the true motivation of those party leaders, who have in reality succeeded in exposing their own complete inadequacy. matched only by their lack of integrity.

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!
