We spoke to his St Andrews colleague Dr Bernhard Blumeau about the UK’s relations with the EU, “in the age of Farage.” David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project talked about the challenges facing the UK to keep its financial services sector a global leader.
The European Movement in Scotland is committed to promoting the essential European value of free speech. Consequently, we regularly publish articles by leading academics, journalists and others discussing issues germane to Scotland’s place in Europe. Such articles do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Movement in Scotland.
