Mr Ixer My last visit was about three years ago and had a very pleasant stay in what is a very interesting and entertaining City. Football a bit predictable. Even money on Rangers or Celtic to win the Scottish Premiership - every year ! And the football is very sectarian - religious not racial. However Glasgow does have a reputation as being the worst city in Europe for drug abuse. 'Scotland remains the drugs death capital of Europe for the seventh year in a row despite a 13% fall in fatalities, official figures suggest. 'Figures for last year show 185 people in the city died as a result of drug misuse, down from 246 in 2023'. BBC News Then I would think this was predictable if certain ethnic types who run this trade were encouraged to migrate and settle. And yes I think it true that some 'progressives' thought Scotland joining the EU would be 'a good thing'. Others thought that being partly run by the German dominated EU Commission and having to obey all of its rules was not so attractive. And of course it would mean a 'hard border' with England - passports, border checks etc - which would constrain businesses and trade. There were fears that many businesses would relocate just over the border into England where most of their trade was carried out. Usual problem: high flown desires for the 'benefits' of internationalism needing to be balanced with the realities of national day to day life. So while the Scots might tell opinion polls they want to join the EU they don't actually vote for it ! I am guessing what position you would take !
