It is with poignant grief that I am attaching my posting to this thread. This is the saddest news coming from The Isles since last summer when Brexit became a cold and bitter truth. Why do I feel that my friend Paddy died of a broken heart due to the parcel of rogues that instigated the break away from Europe?
Oh Paddy, I hate myself for not having taken the chance of saying the things that still waited to be said. Thanks and fare thee weel.

only the little rose of Scotland
