Vote for truth

Whatever the truth about the referendum, can we please correct the SNP nonsense about the “overwhelming number of Scots” voting to stay in? The truth is, a sizable majority of those voting expressed a wish to stay in the European Community, not all Scots. It would be equally nonsensical to say that everyone who did not vote wanted to leave and therefore a great majority of Scots voted to leave! Our politicians have lost all right to trust, respect or common sense.

By the way did they quietly vote through the 2.7 per cent rise they suggested for themselves recently?
