Thread Name: BS: Scotland does not exist
Subject: RE: BS: Scotland does not exist
I came across this yesterday and so it would appear that the anti independent campaigners and the ONLY Westminster Tory MP in Scotland officially think Scotland does not exist ..... although he is a minister in the Scottish office!




Conservative MP David Mundell has caused outrage after suggesting that Scotland did not exist according to international law, and that the nation had been extinguished by the 1707 Act of Union.

Mr Mundell, who is a junior minister in the Scotland Office, made the astonishing claim in an interview on STV's Scotland Tonight.

Asked by interviewer John MacKay if he was comfortable with a UK Government report that said Scotland had been "extinguished" by the 1707 Act of Union, the Tory MP replied "yes".

He said: "Yes, I think that the Act of Union isn't relevant to this, nor is the break-up of Czechoslovakia"
