Letter: Bamboozled

In recent reports on the visit to the United States by Scotland’s only Tory MP, David Mundell, he claimed that “US business people were bamboozled by the SNP’s drive for independence” (your report, 14 April).

He should perhaps have addressed their bamboozlement by pointing out that since the US declared its own independence from British rule in 1776, that nation has prospered quite well.

It is anticipated that Scotland will do likewise.
