Brexit, Scexit, it’s endless noise

Sir, – The vexatious issues of Brexit and Scexit continue to dominate our media while our highly paid politicians are no nearer to reaching a collective agreement which would demonstrate that they care more about the national wellbeing than they do about self and party interest.

There is much talk about the “Brexit Deal”. but no one that I hear and see in the media can define what exactly is meant by this “Deal”!

It seems just another example of bandwagon spiel that everyone talks about, but no one fully understands.

My view would be that after the UK leaves the EU, that is the time to be striking a deal for future UK foreign policy relationships.

This would include trade, people movement, security co-operation, etc.

Meanwhile, regarding Scexit, one wonders when we may ever see from the SNP a repeat of its “White-Paper” that might attempt to set down the basic pros and cons of the “Deal” that would be necessary, were Scotland to secede from the UK.

All we ever hear are words and opinions that are not supported by factual, independent research. How long must we tolerate the Bannockburn attitude?

The current performance of our politicians, particularly in the opposition parties, is grotesquely inadequate.

And a Lib-Dem propaganda leaflet drops through my letterbox this morning, prophesying that Jo Swinson will be the next prime minister of the UK. Some hope! Derek Farmer. Knightsward Farm, Anstruther.
