Scotland must escape Brexit

Sir, – When she was still Home Secretary Theresa May gave a secret speech to Goldman Sachs.

In it she warned of the catastrophic effects that Brexit would have on the UK economy.

She warned that businesses would leave.

The predictions Mrs May made are coming to pass but she has never been asked when she ceased to believe the warnings she gave.

The Brexit process has been chaotic from the start.

Now it is farcical beyond a Carry On movie and far beyond shambolic.

Tory mis-government gets worse with each passing day.

May tries to placate all sides, and of course ends up pleasing none.

Ministers no longer leak surreptitiously against each other, since this has been superseded by denunciation and threats made brazenly in public by Tory Brexiteers and Remainers alike.

The most recent manifestation of this farce was Jacob Rees Mogg.

His group, Economists for Free Trade, launched a paper on the so-called “benefits” of Brexit.

This group had only one actual economist – no one thinks Mr Rees Mogg’s analysis is anything other than preposterous madness.

Brexit occurred because a few million bigoted voters got scared that their country was soon about to be invaded by unkempt hordes of refugees.

Brexit is the Titanic. Independence is the endpoint for Scotland to get a lifeboat off. Alan Hinnrichs. 2 Gillespie Terrace, Dundee.
