English in support of Scottish Parliament blocking Brexit

Do their utmost to block the foolhardy Brexit outcome of the UK referendum based on the lies and misdirection of the Brexit campaign.

Why is this important?

The English were misled by a series of lies and omissions of fact by the Brexit campaign. Their main stance on anti-immigration and financial redirection of EU funds to the NHS has since been redacted less than a week after their victory in the referendum, a victory which was based significantly on these two statements of intent.

In addition to these mistruths, it is now becoming clear that there are significant financial consequences personally, nationally and internationally to this rash and unchallenged position and the consequences of the Brexit vote are further deep reaching than the Brexit camp ever admitted to. Brexit ran their campaign on a series of rejections of qualified statements from national and international institutions such as the CBI, IMF and the Bank of England amongst international partners such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand as well as our EU partners who all rejected the role of Brexit as a solution to any perceived or real EU issues. In rejecting these qualified statements, Brexit consistently failed to provide adequate evidence against these esteemed institutions whilst at the same time providing little to no evidence of their own ability to manage the subsequent fallout economically and the socially divisive nature of a successful Brexit result, both nationally and on the world stage.

As a consequence, I appeal to the English who did not support Brexit or who have subsequently come to realise both the shallow nature of the abilities of the Brexit campaigners to actually effectively manage Brexit and the already occurring consequences to show that Scotland is not alone amongst the UK but is supported by the English who wish to remain within the EU, fighting not for a divided Europe but for a better EU.

Thank you.
