FROM personal experience I agree 100% with Lesley Riddoch (Our Irish cousins will carry on flourishing long after we are dragged from the EU, January 23). As the Highlands and Islands Scottish National Farmers’ Union convener during the Thatcher years I was frequently in Brussels and Strasbourg. The SNP’s Winnie Ewing, known as “Madame Ecosse”, was a favourite in the EU Parliament.
