In your opinion Saint Charles Owl - nice little argument but I totally disagree with it and I base that premise wholly on the disregard that has consistently been shown to the Scottish govt and the interests of the Scottish people - the contempt is breathtaking! Also Tory self-interest in their DUP alliance is self-explanatory and a big factor!! The sooner Scoyland can move for Scot indy, the better! We can finally get away from this kinda shit and "all the excuses under the sun" to deflect away from Scotland's real interests!!! Utter pish as usual and all under that shit "better together" banner!!! Nuff said!
NI is getting special treatment because it has a land border, not because of the DUP. May and the Tories are leading the negotiations because of the support she has from the DUP but even with that the solutions currently being looked at for NI are not to the liking of the DUP anyway. The EU themselves are pushing for NI to be a special case within the UK because of the land border and the ramifications of a hard border being put in place.
Out of curiosity, what special treatment do you want for Scotland? Our membership of the EU is based on the UK, not the individual entities within that, and so far aside from the land borders, the deal being negotiated is for the whole of the UK not for one country or another. "Better together" is neither here nor there in this one, it has to be done together, there is no other way to do this!! You say the interests of the Scottish people are being disregarded, well the interests of a lot of the UK population are being disregarded if this exit is allowed to go through.
