The danger of nuclear war is increasing
ALBA, the SNP and the Greens need to emphasise the danger of having Trident or any other nuclear weapons in Scotland.
We cannot wait until after independence in view of the current danger from Russia and from England’s warmongers, such as Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Keir Starmer.
I know people don’t want to think about nuclear war but the danger is increasing.

Albs and the independence parties need to prioritise the denuclearisation of Scotland without being alarmist but highlighting the issue in people’s minds so they fully understand the issue and realise the urgency of achieving independence.

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
