And will the English Whisky Association be HQ in another country, and send their tax revenue to that “other” country?
Or is that just a “privilege” reserved for Scotland, as a benefit of the “Union”.
No double standards here, no to see, move along.

We are coming towards the end of Unionism in Scotland. It is clear that the Labour has nothing to offer Scotland but the theft of its resources and the tightening of the noose around the neck. Time to start the Big Push to return Independence and renew the nation for a better life for all.

According to the Scotch whisky association, from today, the total tax take on every bottle of Scotch whisky sold in the U.K. is at least £12.
Then there is Scottish salmon, oil and gas from Scottish waters and electricity from hydro and onshore wind in Scotland.

The question for opponents of independence is if the Union is so great, how has a country as rich in resources as Scotland supposedly ended up dependent on a fiscal transfer from England to pay for basic public services & living standards inferior to those of comparable European nations?
