Scotch Whisky isn't remotely Scottish.
Many Whisky main 'players' are ANTI-Scottish!
The Scotch Whisky Association was formed in London. An ex CEO was the UK Brexit Negotiator.
Scotch Whisky 'Duty' (Tax), has gone to London, for 202 years.

Westminster stole Scotland's oil wealth.

Better together.
The Labour Party's position on the union is completely rational, I find it easy to defend. And the smugness comes naturally I'm afraid. Sorry.

England's water industry owned by companies with over 1,100 criminal convictions since 1989.
Examples:
United Utilities 205
Thames Water 187
South West Water 174
Anglian Water 128
Yorkshire Water 125
Southern Water 119
People forced to hand more money to criminals?
Now they are not even fined.

The water industry shows how the state indulges corporations to the detriment of society
Since 1989, water companies have been the subject of over 1,100 criminal convictions, but governments are content for them to control the industry.

Many still fail to grasp why the Supreme Court blocked a referendum on Scottish independence.
1. It wasn't because it was a referendum. It was because of what a particular ref result would force/cause - regardless of whether Westmin recognised/agreed with referendum

Exactly that. Time to govern ourselves.
If English Whisky, rather than Scotch Whisky, was 25% of all UK Food and Drink Exports, would we have an English Whisky, Tourism Strategy and Budget?
Would a dedicated Pavillion be at most Food and Drink Shows?
An English Whisky Minister in Parliament?
Would there be a #DrinkEnglish hashtag?

Energy should be free to those who live near the source, paid for by corporations using 10X more.
Iceland is sub-Arctic. Scotland isn't. Yet energy there costs less than a quarter of bills here. And that's not just cos of geothermal power - it's how that power is owned. Third wee film in Resilient Iceland series now online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXBE...

'Forcing Scottish exports through England is how the UK controls and takes credit for our salmon (£1.25bn), whisky (£5.6bn) and renewables (£6.1bn). Scotland is the UK’s export powerhouse, but you won’t hear this from a unionist.'
