Dear Editor
The recent enjoyable Burns Supper event set me thinking about some of Robert Burns鈥� works. One short poem in readable English comments on the 1707 Parliamentary Union of Scotland and England, which to this day is controversial and spawned partial devolution in 1999 and now Brexit problems.
In this poem he slams the Scottish negotiators with the recurrent line 鈥� 鈥渟uch a parcel of rogues in a Nation!鈥�
One has to wonder what Burns would think, say and write about our leaders and world affairs today. 鈥�

P.S. The poem was written as a song in 1791 entitled 鈥淭he Union鈥� The first line reads 鈥淔arewell to all our Scottish Fame.鈥�
