Just to clarify things for the America readers. We have a UK Parliament, and the MPs and PM, are chosen in the general elections (GEs). Scotland and Wales, also have their own parliaments. In Scotland, it's called the Scottish Parliament. In Wales, it's called the Senedd. They have certain 1/2

Yes, it was. Despite a petition sent to them. Started by a Scot, and signed by people across the UK. The UK Parliament then failed to put pressure on them to change their decision. Despite knowing about it, and knowing about the plans for large protests against Trump.
