    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If discussing mental disorders, perhaps you might look in a mirror. Unsurprisingly, Everyone in NI , Scotland ,and even Ireland( historically ) know why. The embrace of Westminster is not always altruistic. Some deluded Scots believe that the UK can be redeemed
