REGARDING the arts funding cuts to Creative Scotland, people say they’ve never “needed” an athlete, artist or entertainer. I see the literal sense of this, but would you be “you” without those influences in our lives? Professional entertainers do perform an integral duty in the grand scheme of society. Any good entertainer is, at the heart of it, a purveyor of inspiration and hope.
When people want to relax after a day’s work, or at weekends, what do they do? They watch an entertainer, athlete or artist doing their job. I defy anyone to spend 24 hours without coming into contact with and being exposed to members of the entertainment industry.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.
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!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
