AS sure as Johnson cannot get through one day without dropping a cluster bomb on the Union, the supporters of that Union cannot go one day giving credit where credit is due.
Any and all mention of the progress made against this pandemic is met with rather sad and pathetic derogatory remarks. These are made against or about the First Minister, the Scottish Government, the Scottish National Party or indeed they mention their deeply twisted and erroneous perception of Scotland as an independent nation.
What is with these people that they want Scotland to fail, because I can assure you I have no wish to see rUK fail? What is it with these supposedly educated people that in this nationwide fight against the pandemic they would rather criticise than compliment?

How utterly brainwashed and servile do you need to be to type the rubbish that they type?
Of course they will howl and cry about how deeply divisive the SNP are when in fact it is their ultra-right-wing behaviour that is divisive. They will accuse the supporters of independence of thuggish behaviour when in reality it is the followers of the Union that walk that path.
As we hurtle out of winter and approach spring and a time of rebirth, we will of course witness more and more such comments. From their PM all the way through his fourth-rate Cabinet and on to the lowest of low basement troll.
Each time they comment they give away their fear, each time they lie they highlight their desperation and each time they say we cannot, we dam well will.
Our future is bright, independence is right.

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
