Tax accounts for 75% of the price of an average bottle of Scotch Whisky.
The increase in 2023, made 'Duty' for Scotch Whisky £31.64, per litre of pure Alcohol.
It's a blatant, exploitative, 203 year-old, scam.
These £billions always go directly to Westminster.
We need Scottish Independence.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.
FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show
Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

I think #BBCNews is *failing* in this respect. There is a lack of bite, curiousity+boldness in holding to account UK political parties on their funding+what funders want in return. I believe the #BBC, as with its failures on #Epstein, will come to regret that lack,+more importantly, so will we. 3/

Latest stats out today show unemployment rate in Scotland is significantly below the UK’s.
With limited powers, we’re building a stronger economy and creating more jobs.
Imagine how much more we could do with the full powers of independence.
