A must watch - European Parliament gives standing ovation to Scotland

Alyn Smith MEP making clear Scotland’s desire to continue our membership of the EU receives an unprecedented standing ovation from MEPs. “I represent Scotland within this house and where I’m proudly Scottish, I’m also proudly European. “I want my country to be internationalist, cooperative, ecological, fair, European – and the people of Scotland along with the people of Northern Ireland and the people of London and lots and lots of people in Wales and England also voted to remain within our family of nations. I demand that that status and that esprit européen be respected. The standing ovation was in response to his call not to let Scotland down.
