With more than 44 direct EU trade routes now bypassing England, Ireland increased EU trade by 50% in just 6 months.
@Indyposterboy ….Scotland is not too wee or too poor!!
Indeed not, compare Luxembourg with Scotland! Much smaller than Scotland with few or no natural resources - a tiny land mass and a population of a mere 650,000 and YET - it's the richest country in Europe with one of the best healthcare systems in the world, an educational system that sees all its children leaving school speaking at least Luxembourgish, German, French and English all fluently, free further education, one of the absolute best state pension systems in the world, salaries, benefits and pensions all index linked to inflation, the highest statutory minimum wage in Europe...shall I go on?
