Point one. The United Kingdom is NOT a country
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland ARE countries
The United Kingdom is a nation.
Oxford's definition not mine...lesson learned.
We can argue the semantics till the cows come home. The Oxford definition has no standing in law. European law talks about EU Countries, alternatively referred to as Member States. The EU Country/Member State in which we live and are discussing is the UK, as recognised by Brussels. End of.
If you wish to employ someone in the legal profession to try to determine that Scotland (or England, or Wales, or NI) is in fact a separate EU Country/Member State from the UK, then feel free to throw your money their way. But don't waste our union money on it please.
Back to the original point of the thread (which was diverted to a wider topic straight from Post #1
), the handling of any change in GM and the announcements, etc, are (on face value) abysmal. Another poor show in communications if the reported sequence of events is correct.
