Briefings for Britain, March 4th, Catherine McBride
I find the different political treatment of Scotland and Northern Ireland by Westminster bewildering. Scotland – the renegade desperate to leave the Union was given everything it wanted and more while Conservative and Labour politicians united on bended knee to beg the Scots to vote to stay in the Union in the 2014 Independence Referendum.
