Why doesn't the Scotch Whisky Association tell the UK, the factually-correct number of Scotch Whisky Casks that Scotland has maturing? They insist on telling demonstrable lies.

Like most of the 'Scotch' World, the Wemyss family, who own Kingsbarns, are as 'British Empire' as you can get.

They DEFINITELY don't want Scottish Independence.

It's why the 202-year-old Scotch Whisky Industry, incredibly, STILL doesn't have a Tourism Strategy and Budget.

Scotch for Scotland.

Is Zack going to beat Nigel Farage's run of 38 Question Times?
Don't hold your breath...

Cllr Nick Hartley - Green Party @nickhartleygreen.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe next time when @zackpolanski.bsky.social is invited, Question Time can run an extended programme?

We Greens have spent a long time listening on doorsteps and working hard in our communities.

No wonder, now we are getting some media coverage, that we have a lot to say! #bbcqt

Dangerous reporting by Quisling Kev, at the 'Glasgow' Herald.

Will Reform UK Councillors be defecting, back to the Conservative Party?

I think they should sponsor the Darts, in Leicester.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Scotch Whisky is a 200-year-old, secret society.

We have DOUBLE the reserves the UK Government tell us, through the London-founded Scotch Whisky Association.

They lie.

Scotch is only 2% of the Indian Whisky Market, the largest in the World.

Scotch is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports.

Operation Paperclip.

A secret United States intelligence program in which 1,600 German scientists and engineers were taken to the USA, after the end of World War II.

Several were former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS.

On a scale of 1-10, how high would the scoring, for Reform UK be, in a DARTS Crowd, of drunk, middle-aged, working-class people, in Leicester?

Scotland needs to distance itself from increasingly unenlightened poltroons in Englandshire!

It's clear, Scotland is getting better than 'the rest of Britain/Britian', in just about every measurable way.

For an even fairer society, we need to go the whole way, Scottish Independence.

There's no longer an argument.

Russell Martin's Accountant is probably the only one who thinks he did alright, at Rangers FC.

His small 'backroom team' will trouser about £15,000 a DAY, for their rather short time in Glasgow!

There was NO CHANCE of him resigning!

He'll get a rather good Winter Break somewhere for this!

Thanks to racist Radical Christian Fundamentalists and racist Conservatives, defecting to 'The English Racist Party', there's a real chance of this racism happening.

PS: There are MORE 'radical muslemics', since assorted oafs, in oddball England voted for Brexit.

Scottish Independence please!

In the 1980s, they sold off entire AREAS of Council Houses in Scotland's Capital City.

Thatcher left a society with communities smashed, manufacturing industry wrecked, utilities flogged off and turned into profit centres for their (often o/seas) new owners. Worst of all was the mantra that greed is good, & that concern for others is weakness www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

England's population is now over ten times larger than Scotland's.

England's population growth rate is also considerably higher.

There's NO argument against Scottish Independence.
