Letters / Inexplicable logic
Lots of trade statistics fling around, here are a few more. In 2018 export statistics for Scotland to the UK were 60 per cent, rest of the world 21 per cent, and the European Union 19 per cent.
The logic of the SNP is we become independent, then hand over that independence to the EU in order to protect our smallest market share.
Meanwhile, we get a hard border at Carlisle with our main market.
Before we become independent, members of the European Union supporters club need to explain the inexplicable logic of the above.
When independent, look after our biggest market share by staying out of the European Union.

Become a supporter of Shetland News
Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
