Referendums can save the Union

GERALD Warner is wrong to condemn the EU for requiring Ireland to have another referendum (Insight, December 14).

This establishes

an important principle. If

(heaven forbid) Salmond's rigged

referendum on breaking up the UK

results in a vote for Scotland to be

cast adrift from the security of the

UK, no problem. It would then be

clear that the voters had not understood

the arguments or what

wasat stake, so another referendum

would take place within months,

and, if necessary, another one, and

the free panto tickets given out by

Aberdeen City Council, but Peter

Pan was not specifically mentioned

in the text, and some readers may

have gained the impression that

Peter Pan had been scrapped. Far

from being scrapped, the panto is a

huge hit and ticket sales broke all

previous records BEFORE the curtain

rose on the first performance –

for the second year running.

It's particularly unfortunate as

Aberdeen Performing Arts, as a

company, has this year given away

more than 500 free tickets to Peter

Pan to local groups, charities and

worthy causes.

Communications Manager, Aberdeen

so on, until the voters produce the

correct result, and separation is

rejected.
