Subject: RE: BS: Theresa May - latest message (Brexit)
Correction Gallus Moll the part of the country in which you live voted to remain in the EU, other parts of the country voted in a similar fashion. Only trouble is the rest of the country (52% of the electorate who managed to get out and vote) voted to leave. It is a mighty strange democracy that requires the elected government to go to the lengths of holding a referendum then ignore the result. The country in which you live as far as the EU is concerned and as far as any treaty and agreement goes is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and it has been so since 1707 - it was not joined by a Scottish King but by separate agreements of both Parliaments.

Like your strange view on equal partners whereby 5 million have the right to dictate to 60 million.

Straightforward fact for you Gallus Moll - at the moment, put in SNP terms, the vast bulk of Scotland's economy, production and commerce relies on trade with the EU purely by dint of the straightforward fact that 80% of Scotland's trade and commerce is with ENGLAND. Economically for Scotland the Union with England is four times more important and vital to Scotland than any link to the EU.
