sadly Scotlland isn't yours to "give" we are supposed to be a partner in this toxic union.Like ALL contracts when you decide to break it you have to fulfill the conditions and it would appear that we have signed up to these sums of money so we HAVE to pay them.Would any other country ever want to trade with us if we reneged on our debts to the EU? As a business owner for over 40 years theres no way I'd trade with any company that had a history of bad debts so we either pay up and shut up and get on with the Brexit nonsense we seem to be committed to or we stay IN the EU and try to change it from within.Quite what our option will be is a mystery....the people who are "negotiating" for us dont seem competent enough to manage a piss up in a brewery .WE voted remain ...62 % of us ...at least we can get some amusement from the English MP's blundering idiocy which hads been evident from the day after the vote .
