During the Indy Referendum, National Collective ran a story about the donations made to the Better Together campaign by Ian Taylor, the CEO & Chairman of oil company, Vitol. The piece, in response to an explanation for the donation published in the Sunday Herald by Taylor, reported on the company’s corporate history. As a result National Collective received a legal letter accusing them of defamation, and threatening legal action if they did not remove the article immediately, publish an apology and agree to never to publish the material again. The severity of the threat required the site to be taken offline and follow up pieces in The Sunday Herald and other pro-independence publications also received legal threats.
